Alizee Thevénet made a rare public outing on Thursday as she joined her mother-in-law, Carole Middleton, for a day at Royal Ascot.

The wife of James Middleton, 37, looked fabulous wearing a hat that offered a subtle nod to her nephew, Prince Louis, amid his mother, the Princess of Wales' absence from the cornerstone British racing event. 

Alizee, who married Kate's younger brother in 2021, wore a silver Juliette Millinery hat with a twisted bow adornment and an array of feathers pluming from the top. The headwear was a borrowed item from Carole Middleton's wardrobe, which she wore to Prince Louis' christening in 2018.

Attending the event held in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace, Carole used the statement headpiece to accessorise her Suzannah London wrap dress.

It's Royal Ascot week and over on The HELLO! Royal Club, royal shopper Leanne teamed up with Samantha from the hugely popular Instagram account Royal Fashion Daily (formerly the Royal Fashion Police) to look back on Princess Kate’s Ascot wardrobe and offer some predictions on what the fashionable royal might opt for this week. 

Meanwhile, Alizee wore the hat in a sweet tribute to her seven-year-old nephew, styling the Juliette Millinery number with a gingham Longchamp midi dress with an elasticated waist, floral embroidery, and long sleeves.

The French financial analyst also wore the 'La Baronne Sandals' by the same French brand known for its leather goods. Her killer heels featured a triple strap bow-adorned detailing and teamed nicely with her 'Le Roseau' bag in a ballerina pink hue, again by Longchamp.
