The former flight attendant accessorized her ensemble sparingly, carrying a coordinating bright blue clutch in an oval shape with silver hardware and dainty bow detailing paired with a chunky floral headband and shiny silver, diamond and sapphire-encrusted jewelry worn on her neck and ears.

Classically flattering her feet, Carole opted for a pair of nude pointed-toe pumps. Her footwear was crafted out of neutral leather uppers and comprised of sharp triangular pointed toes and a sleek construction all sat atop thin 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels. Pointed pumps, in a multitude of shades and styles, have been seen on many famous feet including Kate Middleton, Queen Camilla and Meghan Markle among others. The pumps offered Carole a neutral base.
