is not the only Middleton who has impeccable style; , no matter the occasion. Carole, 70, , which we think can be a great source of fashion inspiration. One of our favourite of her looks from recent years is a pretty floral midi dress.

Last year, Carole put her best fashion foot forward as she attended Wimbledon with her husband . She turned heads in a long-sleeved flower-patterned dress by Me+Em, a brand favoured by royal women, including Zara Phillips, who chose the British label for .

While Carole's dress is no longer available, we've found some alternatives, in both fitted and floatier styles. We have included one from Me+Em, as well as some cheaper options from the likes of Boden and Nobody's Child.

If you want to get your hands on a piece from Me+Em, try this long-sleeved silk dress by the brand. Like Carole's, it has a pretty floral print. The ruffled details are a nice addition and it's ideal for anyone who prefers a higher neckline.

If you are looking for occasionwear inspired by Carole's style, then this cream and green floral-patterned dress with gorgeous fluted sleeves and a fishtail hemline. It's ideal for a day at the races or as a wedding-guest dress, and comes in sizes 6-18 - but be quick as some are selling out.

This eye-catching design by Boden is made from breezy cotton. With a v-neckline, three-quarter-length sleeves and a fit-and-flare silhouette, we can imagine Carole wearing this one. Boden is known for its inclusive sizes, and this print comes in both a regular and petite fit. There is also a blue option.

Boden is a brand loved by the Royal Family. It is a firm favourite in Princess Kate's wardrobe, and her mother has been snapped wearing its jumpsuits and coats.

If you favour bolder prints but are after a short-sleeved dress, try this fit-and-flare design by Roman. It has a flattering sweetheart neckline, ruching on the bust, and a swishy flared skirt. Pair with a denim jacket and white trainers for a relaxed but elegant look.

For anyone who prefers more oversized styles, try this smock dress. The green-and-white embroidered flower pattern makes a change from ditsy floral prints. It's made from 100% cotton with a shirred bodice, tiered skirt and thick frilled straps, and is an ideal holiday dress. For a smarter event, we'd take style notes from Carole and pair it with . If you prefer a different pattern, there is a pink-and-white striped version.

Nobody's Child is another royal favourite. Princess Kate has been spotted wearing the British brand on several occasions, along with other senior royals including Queen Camilla and Duchess Sophie.
