Carole’s little black dress and tights was a masterclass in timeless, elegant styling. The little black dress. Every woman has one, because, if all else fails, the LBD will never let you down.

When we think of this versatile piece, Carole Middleton’s black satin midi dress from the last 2000s always springs to mind. The length, fit, neckline and material all came together to form a classic look with the most beautiful silhouette. Way ahead of its time, satin is a fashion trend back with force this year – proving Carole was way ahead of the curve with her classic piece.

Carole – who is not only a ‘rock’ to the Princess of Wales but also a style icon who has twinned with her daughter over the years – attended an event raising funds hosted by Kate back in 2008.

Looking elegant, Carole opted for a beautiful cocktail dress, cinched in at the waist to create a beautiful silhouette. The square neckline with thin shoulder straps and minimal accessories – opting for just a thin necklace – gave a clean, classic silhouette and a look that would be sophisticated in any decade.

Keeping the rest of her look as timeless, Carole wore a pair of opaque black tights and black pumps.

While Carole’s photo is a throwback, simple black dresses are having a moment in 2025, too.
