Carole Middleton trotted out (see what we did there?) an eyecatching red ensemble for her trip to Royal Ascot on 21 June.
And why are we interested? Mostly because there's a reasonable chance that in a few months time we'll see exactly the same outfit (except, perhaps, with a different hat) on Duchess Kate and we're trying to be prepared for a) whether we'll like it and b) whether we should be sharing this cunning editorial strategy with you.
As it goes, Kate looks pretty good in red so we can probably get behind that potential wardrobe swap although maybe ditch the matching tie-front coat and wear it solo to a nice drinks do. And put your hair up.
Carole looks good in it too, although we're slightly distracted (and by slightly we mean A LOT) by the woman to the right who is wearing the same shade and thus cause Carole to look like she's part of a uniformed crew.
Also those badges everyone has to wear make it seem like they're on a special Hello! edition of Family Fortunes.

Come on, none of them are raving beauties, Kate's ok but there are better looking women to be seen everyday on my local high street and they don't have the money lavished on them and the designers fussing over them that these women have.
Det real.
and yes, I WOULD
And, I don't know whether Philippa Warr is American or British but she should be told that there is nobody with the title 'Duchess Kate'.
