Carole Middleton wears white & wedges for Wimbledon Day 4: flattering?

Michael Middleton, Carole Middleton arriving on day four of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships

These are photos of Carole and Michael Middleton at Wimbledon today, Day 4 of the tournament. Roger Federer is playing today, as is Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin del Potro and more. Roger’s playing on Center Court late in the day, and ten bucks says Carole came specifically to see him play. As Kate said in an interview last week, “Roger [Federer] is my mother’s heartthrob. I don’t think she will mind me saying that! I think he probably knows that too.” My question is… will Queen Carole watch from the Royal Box?? In previous years, Carole has been seated with the peasants sometimes, but the Daily Mail says that this year, Carole got into the Royal Box. Which was probably the whole f–king point of Kate becoming patron of the All-England Club, to get her mummy a seat in the Royal Box.

As for what Carole is wearing… I don’t think she looks bad, per se. One of the things I love most in this world is that all of the Middleton women have the exact same style. Pippa Middleton and the Duchess of Cambridge both dress like their mother, only I tend to think Carole does the “Middleton Style” the best out of the three of them, although that’s not saying much. None of these women seem to understand what is flattering on their figures – slim-hipped, long-waisted and short-legged – and they don’t seem to understand how to transition their clothes as they age. Like, I think Carole’s style looks fine for her age, but that same style looks matronly on her daughters. And if Kate isn’t doing a matronly look, she’s going for something twee and girlish, and she ends up looking even older (mutton dressed as lamb). Carole also veers into twee too, as we can see. All that being said, I don’t hate this simple white dress on Carole. I loathe those nude wedges though!! Another family trait: nude shoes and wedges.

Oh, and I know the royal gossips have been saying that Michael and Carole are struggling. I kind of think they just live separate lives but they’ll never divorce. Carole pretty much lives with Kate and William, and Michael stays at Middleton Manor.

PS… Another Middleton Woman trait is terrible hair. Is that, like, a mini-beehive??

    Oh god, it’s all just awful. I’ve said it before she is a masculine body type and dresses too frou frou. Plus she needs to lay off lifting weights and tanning…so harsh!

    • CynicalAnn says:

      Why in the world would she need to lay off lifting weights?? That’s important-especially as you age.

      • Caela says:

        +1 ! She should keep lifting 🙂 I think she looks nice here, I think it’s age and occasion appropriate, and simple, can’t complain about the outfit.

      • kaiko says:

        weights are good for older ladies, i agree. all three middletons need some estrogen shots, soften up their look. they have that masculine boy body type, broad shoulders no hips…lots of muscle definition. great for when you are younger, not so much as you hit middle age.

      • Harla Jodet says:

        I agree, weight lifting for a slightly older woman is so helpful for the bones. Being a slightly older woman myself, I just started doing some light weight lifting and am surprised by how much I enjoy it. I have noticed though that I’m getting a bit “thick” in the legs but that’s okay at least the jiggling is starting to go away.

      • minx says:

        Exactly, lifting any kid of weights is very good for women as we age. I think she looks great (except for the leathery tan) and I’ve said before she dresses better than her daughters. She usually has understated, clean lines to her clothing which never goes out of style.

      • Bellagio DuPont says:

        The dress isn’t terribly flattering, but for a woman of a certain age, I think she looks ok. Score 60%.

      • AnnaKist says:

        I agree with you, Caela. The simple, clean lines suit everyone, I think. Her outfit looks summery and comfortable, and is perfect for a Wimbledon Watcher. I don’t like the shoes, but that’s just me. She should definitely keep lifting weights, even light ones, but that tan…ugh. It makes her look leathery and hard-faced.

      • Yup. She has the body of an athletic woman…its time we stop calling athletic women “masculine.” Girl has finally either discovered fillers or more likely, had a facelift. Probably both.

    • Pumpkin Pie says:

      Leather tan doesn’t look ok on anybody. In real life it makes me gasp, to say the least. Once I stared so intensively at this woman’s tan, I found it fascinating in a very weird way, her skin really did not look like skin, she changed her seat at the table.

      If anyone knows a sunscreen that works and sits well under foundation, please please! let me know.

      • Ashley says:

        Coppertone for sensitive skin, or coppertone oil free for faces. It is all I use for lotion now, and it is great under foundation.

      • detritus says:

        how much spf do you need and how sensitive is your skin?
        When I have the cash I use Josie Maran’s daily spf – http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/argan-daily-moisturizer-spf-47-with-sunboost-atb.html

        BUT I am very pasty and very sensitive, so I can’t use chemical sunscreen, this hits my needs – not irritating, can put a foundation or bb cream overtop without it slipping off, and is a high spf.

        I used beautypedia.com to research some other (cheaper) sunscreens too, but i’m sure there are other sites good for that.

      • homeslice says:

        I live in S. Ca and wear Neutrogena Clear Face 55 every single day under make-up. Feels so nice, no greasiness, blends right in and most importantly it works!

      • sash says:

        I’m not sure it’s a particularly great thing that you made someone feel so uncomfortable that they had to move :/ Everybody has feelings regardless of how short their skin might measure up to someone. Gawping at them isn’t the nicest thing to do.

        Regarding the sunscreen: seconding the Josie Maran recommendation if you’re pale (it leaves a white cast on me) and if you can get your hands on La Roche Posay or Vichy spfs they’re always good and the face ones tend to be great under makeup too.

      • kaiko says:

        pumpkin I use oil of old lady sensitive since it doesn’t have avobenzone, seems to work with liquid and powder but it leaves a bit of white cast due to the zinc oxde. it’s cheap enough if it doesn’t work for you. elta MD is supposedly really good too.

      • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

        Go to Environmental Working Group’s home page (they rate many, many sunscreens yearly) and check out the plethora of green sunscreens. Many are then linked to Amazon and you can read reviews

      • WeAreAllMadeOfStars says:

        I have Coola mineral sunscreen from Sephora, but I honestly prefer Ocean Potions zinc oxide 45 spf. It’s mostly natural ingredients and zinc holds back oil, which is great for me.

      • nicegirl says:

        I have skin cancer, and a low cost sunscreen my dr has recommended is Neutrogena Beach Defense above spf 30, contains zinc. it is in a yellow bottle and it smells fabulous, spreads well, and lasts. I put on a layer onto clean skin and let it sink in for a few mins, then I mix a little into my foundation to apply another layer to make my own tinted cream, and if I am putting on a full face of makeup, I finish with a thin top layer of foundation on which I apply the rest of my face makeup if I want more coverage on a specific day.

        When I have cash to burn (lol), I like Laura Mercier Daily Face Shield Broad Spectrum spf 40, but it is around $40+ bucks. It is very nice stuff.

        Love hearing of everyone wearing sunscreen!!! This makes my month, y’all!!!

      • MissyLynne says:

        I have a few that I rotate. The Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum SPF 30 ($42 at Sephora) works very well under foundation. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair® Pure Mineral Sunscreen Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 40 ($30 at Sephora) also works well especially if your skin gets irritated easily. My go to lately though is Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 45 ($30 at Sephora) it’s a sheer powder that is self contained. I just dust it over everything before I leave the house and you can touch up easily at any time.
        (I’m rather pale and burn very easily for reference)

      • Goats on the Roof says:

        @Pumpkin

        Uh wow. I don’t know if I’d be so quick to share that story if I were you. The lady has bad skin, sure, but you come across terribly for not having the manners to just let her be.

        I like La Roche Posay sunscreen products. I’m not sure how they would work under a proper foundation (I only wear tinted moisturizer). Their products aren’t too expensive and they don’t irritate my skin.

      • Pumpkin Pie says:

        Thank you ****everyone**** for sharing sunscreen suggestions, I appreciate that A LOT. I hope I will find a good product soon. And when I do, I’ll think of y’all !!

        nicegirl, I’m wishing you good health.

        Sash, I know it wasn’t ok for me to do that and felt bad about it.

      • Cee says:

        I wear Avene and ISDIN’s Gel Cream Dry Touch. Both work wonders under makeup.

      • D Train says:

        Hoping you didn’t intend to come off as boasting about a woman moving because you were “fascinated” by her skin.

      • Pumpkin Pie says:

        @detritus, my skin is very thin and sensitive to dust and pollution.

      • Pumpkin Pie says:

        @D train, I did not have that intention.

      • Pumpkin Pie says:

        @Goats.
        Staring at that lady’s tan doesn’t define me as an ill-mannered person – which I am not. Throughout the years I met, people with facial scars, people missing a finger or more, limbs, women who over fake-tan or wear foundation that doesn’t match their skin tone and I don’t stare. If I have to talk to them I look at them in the eye and I’m polite.
        I am leaving this conversation now because I have to go somewhere.

        I am OK with criticism.

      • JustBitchy says:

        Kaiko
        I am addicted to the Elta also. Only thing that doesn’t clog pores. The best.

      • Snazzy says:

        I use clairins SPF50 in the summer, especially for the face. Love it

    • Babyswans says:

      Skinceuticals tinted sunscreen all the way!!!

    • Merritt says:

      Ugh, this is so wrong. A person should lift weights or engage in other types of strength training because it helps the body maintain mobility as the person ages.

      • Goats on the Roof says:

        Yes!!!! And not to mention it’s important for bone health and osteoporosis prevention.

      • Lady D says:

        I’m 56 and my doctor has stressed weight bearing and lifting exercises for about 3 years now. Very important to increase muscle mass and bone density as you age, and preferably before you age.
        I saw a commercial for a show I think was called American Warrior or something similar. It showed athletes on an insane competition course. One lady in the commercial had an astounding looking body. She obviously lifts weights, and she looked phenomenal.

      • jetlagged says:

        Don’t ever stop with the strength training!! (Unless your doctor tells you to, of course) I was an Amazon in my youth, and was still pretty fit as I edged toward middle-age, then I got lazy and let some things slide – at exactly the wrong time. I’ve been trying to get some muscle mass back, and it has been a b*tch and a half. My body no longer wants to build muscle as easily as it used to. It’s so much easier/better to maintain than to try and get back what you’ve lost.

    • Addie says:

      She needs a proper bra, like her daughters.

  2. D says:

    Wedges, signet rings, buttons, tans, too much eyeliner and terrible hair it’s the Middleton look.

    • Addie says:

      Plus a disdain for properly fitting bras. You can see Carole’s nipples in that dress, so excited was she to be photographed.

      • allison schaffer says:

        Ugh yes. The nips and the stomach bulge. Mind you we all have it…but some dress to avoid showing it.

        Still think she looks like she’s lifting too much. One thing to be healthy, but Carole definitely doesn’t exude healthiness. Brittle dry hair, leather skin…also, does she smoke? So much for being “healthy”.

      • kaiko says:

        imo, she got some modestly sized implants. they are looking quite perky and when the nip is front and center like that it makes ya wonder…no shade though, i would too at that age. might as well enjoy your reflection while you can.

      • Addie says:

        Wasn’t she chewing gum at some function years ago, the stuff that helps cut down on smoking I think? Kate was chewing gum on Day 1 of Wimbledon. But yeah, leathery skin that does not look healthy. I think the Middleton women have personal tanners – Kate and Pippa used to have a mobile tanner come to their Chelsea apartment back in the day so Ma probably was in on that too. Carole was puffed to the hilt on fillers for Pip’s wedding; seems to have settled down now.

    • JustBitchy says:

      Plus a less than 1 carat diamond-I sat next to her once and a plain Rolex oyster. Blah

  3. perplexed says:

    To be fair to Pippa and the mother, it’s not like they have personal stylists. I don’t think they HAVE to dress well. Even though Pippa married rich, wealthy people who earn their money are probably more frugal with it than people living off taxpayer money. So I don’t expect her to hire a stylist even now.

    • CynicalAnn says:

      You don’t need to be wealthy to have a stylist.

      • perplexed says:

        Really? I’m pretty cheap and like to save my money so my idea of wealth might be skewed. Well, they’re not obligated to have stylists. How much does a stylist cost, btw. I might consider one for myself if they’re not that expensive.

      • Harla Jodet says:

        Dear perplexed, a couple of years ago I booked an appointment with a stylist at Nordstrom’s and wow she was super helpful. It’s a free service and you’re not obligated to purchase any of the items they select. I found it to be super helpful so now when I’m shopping by myself I have a better idea of what I’m looking for and how to style it. Pinterest is also great for styling ideas. In the long run both the stylist and Pinterest have saved me tons of money because I no longer get the new trendy item or the item I like but that doesn’t look good on me, instead I know what works for me and what doesn’t.

      • perplexed says:

        Thanks for the info!

      • JustBitchy says:

        Any Nordstrom will work with you and they can definitely affORD whatever the U.K. Equivalent of Nordstrom is. Heck they can afford Bergdorfs and Bonwit. Also there is an amazing stylist/ designer out of LA that totally upped HRC’s game

      • paddingtonjr says:

        Most department stores in the US (ex. Macys, Nordstrom) have personal shopper services that are free and you don’t have to buy anything. Also, there are many websites that offer remote stylist help or styling ideas. The Middleton women seem to think that dressing inappropriately is the way to get attention.

    • bluhare says:

      No, just two “assistants” who walk her dogs and keep the riff raff away.

    • minx says:

      I agree; I don’t care as much what Carole and Pippa wear. Kate is in the public eye and a stylist would be helpful. Kate seems to think “expensive” means flattering or appropriate; she just doesn’t have very good taste and doesn’t seem to have her clothes tailored to her body.

  4. Natalie S says:

    Carole! The only interesting Middleton.

    I think Michael had work done.

  5. Megan says:

    I don’t think a divorce is on the horizon. Carole is credited with master minding Kate’s marriage, but Michael clearly went along with the plan. I think he is as all-in as Carole.

    • Jennifer says:

      Agree. Mike is as clawing as the rest of them, just as complicit in the March of the Middletons. He just benefits from not having such a hard pinched face, so is seen as gentle. He hawked his daughter put for money just like Carole did.

    • kaiko says:

      Hm, i always thought he was the shy retiring one of the bunch…maybe it’s just an act? if nothing else, he’s an A+ enabler who has been along for the royal ride.

      • Addie says:

        He is an A+ enabler to allow his daughters to grow up to be groomed to do nothing but whore themselves to the highest bidder. NO compassion for this man. I note the son wasn’t groomed to be a gigolo or high-class rent-boy.

      • kaiko says:

        now addie, be fair…we dont know he wasnt groomed for that 😉

      • SoulSPA says:

        Maybe Carole calls the shots in the marriage and he was happy to get along to see his family happy. From what I read into the pictures (current and past) , it seems Carole has a powerful, aggressive style and Michael is laid back and relaxed. There are couples with such dynamics where let’s stay established gender roles (alpha male) are the other way around. Whatever works for them to keep the family unit together and happy.

        Either way the success of Carole’s campaign (I bet it was her idea) to make their daughters land marriages with the elite had the backup and support of Michael, if only for the sake of a happy marriage and happy children. Whatever that means. On the other hand, James seems to be super laid back and comfortable with the situation, as he knew he counted with support on other fronts from his immediate family and the brothers in law after his sisters’ marriages. In this case, attempts to have successful businesses. All in all, I think that from the three siblings, James has had more success (whatever that means while playing the business role) with the least effort and exposure.

  6. Pumpkin Pie says:

    That dress doesn’t work with those shoes, they look to greyish. Beige would be a better option. I don’t like their “cut” (can’t find the word). And the dress looks much more expensive than the shoes IMO.

  7. thaisajs says:

    I think Carole looks great. I hope I’m in that good of shape when I’m her age. Of all the Middleton women, she’s the one I’d want to have dinner with. You know she’d get completely trashed on rose and start gossiping and it would be epic.

    • Harla Jodet says:

      Can I join your dinner party??

    • Pandy says:

      That sounds fun lolll. And I think she looks good too. I like what she’s wearing – it’s not over the top, it looks comfortable for the heat and appropriate for photographs. The suit has to go though, come on. For a tennis match??

  8. vava says:

    The dress is awful. Look at where those bust darts hit her.
    Those shoes crack me up, they are so damned ugly.

    Looks as if her fillers are doing their job – not a wrinkle to be seen on that face.

  9. JC says:

    The shoes are no good. I don’t mind the color but the style is too young and trendy for Carole.
    Also—I see a hint of nipp and maybe bellybutton in some shots. Also a no-no for someone Carole’s age.
    Both of them look so self consciously styled, sort of like “I’m ready for my close-up, Mr DeMille.”—it’s off-putting.

  10. nemera34 says:

    I think she looks great. I hope my figure is like that when I get her age. The tan is too dark for my taste, but I like her outfit. and the wedges are cute. I would so wear those for work or just a casual day out.

  11. minx says:

    The dress is so simple, I have no problem with it. The bag seems odd to me…looks too small and dressy. I would think she would carry more of a satchel to Wimbledon. The shoes look like they don’t fit.

  12. perplexed says:

    The mother doesn’t look that bad to me here. But, I don’t know, she’s older, so maybe my standards for her are lower.

    Maybe she’s dressed “trendier” for Roger.

  13. Maria says:

    She looks okay to me. She keeps it simple.

  14. AB says:

    Wow these comments are so harsh. Cute dress, cute shoes, very fit older woman. I think she looks great and I hope to be as fit as she is when I’m her age.

    • Stacey Dresden says:

      Agree. If this was my mother I would think she looks nice.

      • molly8047 says:

        Thank you — I think she looks great for her age and I would be thrilled if I look like this at this age!

    • Harla Jodet says:

      I’m a bit older and love these types of dresses that skim the surface without clinging 🙂 hides all the wobbly bits and bobs.

    • spidey says:

      @ AB. They usually are about this family.

    • Isabelle says:

      The comments are harsh bet half the people making them won’t look so hot either when they hit their 50s.

      • JustBitchy says:

        Actually we will look better. We won’t have leather skin (sunscreen) we won’t wear see through clothes, we will wear proper under garments and we won’t flash Anyone

      • martina says:

        Actually, she is 62

  15. NeoCleo says:

    The sunglasses are the best. They hide her evil little eyes.

  16. Jenb says:

    All I can see are nips honestly. But seems to be an appropriate outfit otherwise. Maybe just the lighting causing the nipplage.

  17. She looks nice enough and he does too.Looking at her I can totally see Kate in 25 years-normal I guess since they are mom and daughter.Middleton ladies are just very underwhelming to me.

  18. Andrea says:

    She looks great. Dress is simple but flattering. I don’t mind the wedge. The nude colour matches the white nicely. The wedge is not chunky, which i like. Wedges are a comfortable option when you want the height of heel but the comfort of a flat.

  19. Joannie says:

    I think she looks good for her age. I dont know why this couple gets such a hard time. They’ve worked hard for their money all of their lives and raised their daughters well. They aren’t druggies or losers.

    • SoulSPA says:

      They may have tried to raise their daughters well but it does not show except for huge drive, cold hearts and ambition to marry very well.

      The only “significant” things their daughters managed to do were getting university degrees they don’t use, and marrying very well for status and money. Pips has a lot more to show of what she’d done prior to getting married but no career to speak of other than being a socialite. All the time by riding on the royal connection.

      Their first born is also known as Waity Katie. Another offspring with very expensive private education, who managed to hold a job only for a few months, and then hid behind the very close walls of her family’s business seemingly pretending to work by taking pictures of their merchandise while being at the beck and call of her then royal boyfriend. After getting married, she was criticized for lack of work, lack of respect to the British people and flashing her legs and buttocks. None of it perceived, but real in the public opinion.

      So no, IMHO they did not raise their daughters well. Especially because these two women live in the public eye in the 2000s. Standards are a lot different now. Their daughters benefited from opportunities most of us only dream of and see them on tv/internet. And all they managed to do was to bag rich husbands while living off their wealthy parents/family for years and years.

    • Kristi says:

      Erm. Actually, Gary Goldsmith WAS involved in drugs… lots of money borrowed from him by the Middletons…

      Google Maison de Bang Bang

    • Addie says:

      Though Uncle Gary was behind the Middleton wealth, that is, a money laundering fee.

      It seems, by all appearances, that the female children were groomed to do nothing but climb into the richest man’s bed. How is that good parenting? No point in providing expensive educations to university level if the ‘children’, close to middle-age now, have done nothing with it to earn a living and make a life for themselves. How is that good parenting? Kate and Pippa have absolutely no work ethic. How is that good parenting?

      • SoulSPA says:

        The only reason for providing them withe expensive private education to university level was to be around the offsprings of the elite, be able to get to know “important” people and network. It happens all the time in the elitist circles. They did not study to make a career in their chosen fields. They went there to improve their marriage prospects. See the sisters falling in love with/marrying a student from a less privileged background on a scholarship or with a study loan, studying and working at the same time to be able to afford such education? And working hard to make a career while paying off a student loan and trying to buy small property, eventually? No. I am still wondering as to how the RF agreed to the Middletons entering the RF, given the shady background of the uncle and lack of demeanor of Kate (the fashion event at uni, falling out drunk from clubs, the hunt for Billnot). And I am wondering if Harry will have the same leverage as his brother to choose the wife of his own desire.

    • JustBitchy says:

      Uncle Gar$ worked hard. Now TMW James will have to pick up some slack

  20. Amelie says:

    I really don’t see anything wrong with the outfit, apart from the side swept bangs that awkwardly get into her face. I get the Middleton women don’t always wear great outfits but this is appropriate for a tennis match.

  21. Lainey says:

    Kate does that ‘thing’ with her hair too. As far as I can tell it’s purely fir aesthetics. Gives a bit of height to the hair when photographed from the front. The really need a stylist who’ll style them for their shape.

    Smug jug this one, smirk and all.

    • kaiko says:

      yet as smooth as a newborns bottom! she is total filler face…its quite distracting how her face looks 20 years younger than her body, but maybe thats just me…

  24. Coconut says:

    I agree she could wear something that works for her figure more, and she could’ve punched it up more with some texture and statement jewelry. White with matching beige pieces is blah. Mini poofy hair in the back is in right now.

    • Devereaux says:

      The Middletons are rubbish at accessories. I like this dress, nice color, but she has a great little figure. One I’m sure she works hard to keep. I’d love to see her in something that gives her a waist.
      Use it while ya got it, Carole! 😉

      That’s what I’m constantly moaning about with women’s clothing. Ditch the boxy cut!! (I’m looking at you Marks and Spencer! You too COS!)

      Make clothing that gives a woman a waist!

      It’s an easy way to be sexy and feminine without showing of your hoo-ha or exposing all your lady bits.

      • SoulSPA says:

        Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! At some point during the Waiting Years (20xx-2007, 2007-2011), Kannot briefly
        “worked” as a fashion ACCESSORIES buyer for a company called Jigsaw IIRC. Meritocracy at its fullest. Not! Great and appropriate use of arts degree from a prestigious university.

      • kaiko says:

        exposing your lady bits…middleton…hmmm, something sounds familar, i cant put my finger on it…hmm…

    • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

      The dress is sooooooo blahhhhh. Painfully boring as a whole.

  25. Tyrant Destroyed says:

    Carole and Michael seem to have the dynamics in these photos of two business partners going to lunch meeting. I am not surprised if they are living separate lives but I also doubt they will ever divorce. Carole is too conscious of how the high society perceives her to go through a divorce at her age.

  26. KiddVicious says:

    Carole looks good. I think she did the bridal workout/spa/skincare along with Pippa. Her skin and face has been looking much better, it seems a bit fuller, and her legs look great. Muscles on women are not a bad thing. We’re either criticized for being too fat or too muscular, we can’t win.

    I like her dress and she does seem to dress age appropriate, the shoes, however, do not go with the outfit.

    Was it last year that Carole was caught sneaking in her own wine and was a bit tipsy at Wimbledon? I bet she’s on her best behavior this time.

      I think the wine thing was at a rugby match? And that they sold the tiny wine bottles there so it wasn’t like she brought the wine all the way from Bucklebury.

        I thought that was the headline, that she snuck her own in and seemed quite tipsy in the photos. Looked like she was having a great time. LOL

      Her face is fuller because she did the fillers.
      Dress makes her look older than she is. She tries for summery light St.-Tropez-white and she tries to pass herself off as a well-off well-groomed lady. Unfortunately she lacks style and is terribly over-tanned. That is why her fillered face is so much smoother than her over-tanned wrinkled skin. Because despite all summery light St.-Tropez-white style she forgot that in St.-Tropez you don’t JUST wear white. You accessorise. Scarf. Jewelry. Shoes. Handbag. Something interesting where the eye can linger. Well, the authentic white-wearing crowd in St.-Tropez can afford that style. Carole can’t. She is a social climber.

    This is an nice ok look a different bag, a better dye job on her hair and ease up on the tanning it would’ve been great.
    Well at least Kate knows how to dress for her older years since it’s obvious who she got her style from.

    Carole wears a better fitting bra than her daughters do, but it should have a better lining. I would be horrified to be photographed looking so exposed.

    This is a #boot, I can hear Raven’s disgust with the ankle strap ringing inside my head.

  30. Skylark says:

    It’s a low bar but Carole is always infinitely and more consistently stylish than her children.

  31. Tabbygal says:

    I think she looks fine, but a better bra would give her a bit of ‘lift’ and she’d look more streamlined.

    • KiddVicious says:

      I’m betting she has on a Spanx-type slimmer which is great for her stomach and waist, but is smooshing her boobs into something weird. A regular bra would have been better.

    I’m so happy, Austrians Domi Thiem and Sebastian Ofner just made it to the 3rd round!
    Ofner ist World No.217 (!!!) and he beat Jack Sock. WHAAAAA!

  33. miss piggy says:

    wow if you zoom in on her feet you can see how much she has spray-tanned 🙂

  34. Indiana Joanna says:

    She’s wearing an oversized white T-shirt. I think she always looks rough and grasping.

    She is so obsequious with people she considers her social betters, but is a known snob to everyone else.

    And Mike looks like he got botox to diminish the heavy look around his eyes. Yuck, can’t stand this parvenue, coarse, ridiculous family.

  35. Mildred Fierce says:

    Carole has a fantastic figure and she looks good except for the hairstyle and accessories. A sleek bob, navy or red pumps and a matching clutch are what’s needed here.

  36. Joannie says:

    Harsh crowd on here.

  37. Hazel says:

    I wish wedges would go away for a while.

  38. Sorry, no dignity in that says:

    The simple white dress makes Carole look old. Because simple white dresses work well only with perfect slightly tanned and even skin. As soon as you skin is somewhat more wrinkled – stay away from the unstructured and pure-block-coloured stuff. Basically when there are ruffles in your skin then there should be more ruffles in your dress to out-ruffle your skin. Otherwise your skin stands out for all the wrong reasons – its ruffles. Your skin should be sleeker than your dress – at least in comparison.

    Carole’s styling is absolutely boring. Boring hair. Boring accessories. Boring dress.
