Carole Middleton stuns at Coronation in electric blue - here are seven ways you can recreate her 'classy' look

While the usual smart suits, military-style outfits and prestigious garments were just some of the amazing fashion on show at the King's coronation. But many, including Carole Middleton and First Lady Jill Biden, instead opted to wear statement blue outfits to the ceremony in a look that many are sure to want to duplicate.

Carole Middleton, the mother of the Princess of Wales, wore a stylish cobalt blue coat dress with matching headband, whilst the First Lady wore a cornflower blue pencil skirt and jacket.

It is thought the First Lady wore blue to match with the yellow outfit worn by granddaughter Finnegan Biden in order to represent the colours of the Ukrainian flag and show solidarity with the country.

Others also opted for blue but the suit dress has been a clear favourite at the Coronation. It will also be a popular choice for people looking for something that stands out whilst being a great fit for the lighter summer months.

The Tuxedo Wrap Mini Dress from Karen Millen (£139.30) in cobalt blue is a stunning replica of Carole’s power dress. The website describes the tuxedo-inspired dress as ‘sure to turn heads’ with its sharp tailoring, a waist-defining tie belt and wrap-over lapels.

A slightly less pricier alternative comes in the form of a blue shawl lapel blazer (£79.99) from Zara, which features a ‘shawl collar and long sleeves’, alongside matching lining and front flap pockets.
