Carole Middleton channeled Molly Mae at Royal Ascot - so who do YOU think has mastered the butter yellow look?

Carole Middleton channelled her inner Molly-Mae Hague as she stepped out in a £325 lace dress at Royal Ascot yesterday.
The mother of the Princess of Wales, who was also expected to appear at the racecourse on Wednesday but she pulled out at the last minute, looked effortlessly radiant in the vibrant ME+EM gown.
The striking yellow two-tone lace dress combined opaque and sheer textures, crafted from lace with a peach sorbet base and vibrant yellow cord-embroidered detailing.
The 70-year-old was the picture of elegance as she paired the gown with a matching wide-brim hat, minimal jewellery, and a blush-coloured Emmy London clutch.
Butter yellow has undeniably taken centre stage as this season's standout shade, with experts at Google revealing the search term 'butter yellow' has risen 82 percent since the start of 2025.
Yellow lace dresses are especially on trend right now, as former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague recently wore a similar style by House of CB to a wedding in Cannes, promptly sending the product flying off the shelves.
The £199 gown was part of the brand's 'Honey Harvest' Collection, and features delicate detail, as well as a romantic, floral pattern.
Molly-Mae, 26, donned the figure-flattering dress in a slew of Instagram snaps from her friends nuptials.
The influencer completed the look with slicked‑back hair, bold gold earrings, and a tonal Chanel bag.
While Carole oozed elegance and understated glamour in this years colour trend, Molly-Mae went for a very different approach.
The Love Island star opted for a plunging neckline and fitted silhouette for a sexier take on the fashion trend.
It's safe to say both women, despite their 44-year age gap, pulled off the stunning ensembles and added their own unique flair.
Carol delivered timeless elegance fit for the prestigious Royal Ascot, while Molly-Mae oozed glamour for her friends trendy wedding.
As the summer season of 2025 gets underway, the royals are certainly choosing to embrace the pastel shade.
Last month Kate Middleton made her first appearance at the Buckingham Palace garden party since 2023 - having missed last year while she was having cancer treatment.
She wore an Emilia Wickstead butter yellow coat dress with a scoop neckline, structured shoulders and a wrap detail at the waist which she last wore for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee (it's surprisingly still in stock).
She paired the dress with a hat by Phillip Treacy and the Robinson Pelham oak leaf and acorns earrings she wore on her wedding day.
Meanwhile Zara Tindall recently appeared at a charity gala evening wearing a Leo Lin butter yellow mini dress with structured shoulders and a flattering A-line silhouette, which sold soon after.
She paired the look with with a pair of gold pumps from designer Julia Mays, stacked with gold bangles and a silver clutch.

England footie ace Millie Bright sends cryptic four-word message after leaving fiancé for married personal trainer

MILLIE BRIGHT has been soaking up some rays in the summer heatwave - after deciding to sit out the Lionesses' Euro defence. The Chelsea defender, 31, recently split from her fiancé Levi Crew. 4 4 Bright has been a regular feature in the Lionesses' set-up since 2016, helping the team win the Euros in 2023. She recently made herself unavailable for this summer's Euro 2025, saying she was unable to give 100 per cent mentally or physically. Away from the field, Bright has fallen "hook, line, and sinker" for her new personal trainer boyfriend. The Sun exclusively revealed this week Millie's new man was a married dad of seven who has already moved into her home. Dave Zetolofsky, 39, is a martial arts enthusiast and former pro kickboxer. And Bright appeared to be smitten as she soaked up some rays on Thursday afternoon. Millie uploaded a series of snaps for her 450,000 Instagram fans, posing in the sunshine before hitting up a restaurant for dinner. Lionesses centre-back Millie wrote: "Appreciating the little things." Millie met Dave after she began training at the 21st Century Combat gym in Redhill, Surrey. A source told The Sun: "Millie and Dave's relationship is no secret. England football ace Millie Bright leaves fiancé & falls for married personal trainer 'in a big way' "They've been seen out and about, and in the gym together. "You can understand that [Dave's wife] Katie has found the whole thing pretty devastating. "The fallout has been enormous but Millie has fallen hook, line and sinker for this guy." Bright started her career at Doncaster Belles after coming through Sheffield United's youth setup. She was snapped up by Chelsea prior to the 2015 season and has gone on to become one of their greatest ever players. Bright has earned 88 caps for the Lionesses, scoring six goals. The 31-year-old is currently the club captain and is contracted with the Blues until 2026. Bright has told friends her new romance has nothing to do with her withdrawal from international duty this summer. There is also no suggestion that the pair have cheated on their former partners.

Lauren Goodger hits back at trolls who mocked her looks after she revealed she's having her 'heavy' breast implants removed for a 'natural look'

hit back at critics on her Instagram Story on Friday after trolls cruelly criticized her looks on a recent lingerie post. The TOWIE legend, 38, who revealed at the time that she is having her 'heavy' breast implants removed for a more 'natural look', was bombarded by hateful comments about her appearance. Lauren then shared a pal's post of lingerie snap and hurtful comments, in which her friend had defended her by writing: 'At this rate I'm disgusted in the human race. 'Not only is this a woman who's carried two baby's it's a woman who's lost one. How on earth could anyone try to hurt her il never know. 'Reading trolls on her posts has made me feel sick! What a horrible world we live in! @laurengoodger you are a supper woman and your beautiful just the way you are (love heart emoji).' Lauren re-sharing the message of support comes after she admitted her breasts were 'perfect' before, although now they simply 'make her look big', as she opened up about her breast-reduction journey on Instagram last month. The TOWIE legend, 38, who revealed at the time that she is having her 'heavy' breast implants removed for a more 'natural look', was bombarded by hateful comments about her appearance (pictured on TOWIE in 2011) Now, her pal has hit back at trolls by reposting the lingerie snap and hurtful comments, saying: 'At this rate I'm disgusted in the human race. Not only is this a woman who's carried two baby's it's a woman who's lost one. How on earth could anyone try to hurt her il never know' The reality star shared on her Instagram page at the time a snap of herself posing in a sheer dusky pink baby doll, which showcased her very ample assets. She wrote in the lengthy caption: '11 years ago I had a breast augmentation, one of the things I regret later in life. 'I had the perfect boobs .. they have been great over the years but since being a mum and breastfeeding for 1 year they have now changed and I've always found they make me look bigger! 'Also they are heavy and I don't like the idea of an implant being in me all these years and I miss my old boob so much.. so after looking around I've found someone that I feel really keen with having my consultation with @marksolomos. 'This is a HUGE step for me I've wanted to have them removed for so long but suffering with serve anxiety surgery is the last thing I can do ! Lauren finished: 'So it's early stages but I am bringing you a long with me! 'I'm terrified but also for health reasons I'm having implants removed and bring back more to my normal self wanting to reverse everything back to natural.' It comes after earlier in March, the TV sensation shared a huge plastic surgery U-turn on finally having her implants removed after previously fearing death if she went under the knife again. The TOWIE star delayed getting her breast and Brazilian bum lift removed because she hated the thought of leaving her daughter Larose behind should anything go wrong. Lauren shares daughter Larose, three, with her ex Charles Drury and tragically gave birth to her stillborn daughter Lorena in 2022 after she was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. After years of desperately wanting to get her cosmetic surgery reversed, Lauren has finally plucked up the courage to put plans in place for later this year. Sharing her plans in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, she said: 'I was terrified [of getting it done] which is what I'm working on, I'm working on that. 'I've delayed it for a year now. I was meant to get the implants out and I want them out because that will transform me. 'It's not even about my weight, it's more my boobs and bum. If I could get rid of them I'd feel and look so much better.' After a breast augmentation surgery in 2013, she transformed her 34D chest size to 34E, yet while Lauren said she loved how her breasts looked at the time, now she feels differently. She added: 'I've got such a big bum and ginormous boobs, that I look so much bigger than I am because If you catch me at an angle I can look a lot bigger and if they were gone I'd look much more in proportion. 'So I don't really think it is altogether my weight, it's more because I need to get rid of the surgically enhanced assets which is my bum and boobs. 'Let's hope I can do it this year because I will feel so much more comfortable.' Lauren previously admitted she wanted to get rid of her BBL after she described it as 'the worst experience' of her life - which sparked her fears of more surgery.
