Fashion expert Louise Roe secured her place on Royal Ascot’s best dressed list with a tailored red midi dress from Karen Millen – and you can still shop her exact look with 20% off
This year’s Royal Ascot outfits have been some of the best yet, and one celeb to firmly cement her place on the best dressed list is Louise Roe. The fashion journalist and broadcaster showed off her outfit on Instagram, opting for the form-fitting Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress from high street favourite Karen Millen.
The flattering tailored dress is usually priced at £229, but currently shoppers can save 20% on Louise’s exact dress, with the price slashed to £183.20. Everything from its bold red hue to the sharp tailoring and breezy midi skirt made it a hit for the event, looking effortlessly cool whilst still nailing Royal Ascot’s smart occasionwear dress code.

Described on the Karen Millen site as “where power dressing meets feminine charm”, the Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress has a structured bodice with a short sleeved blazer-inspired design. It nips in at the waist and flares out gently over the hips to create an hourglass silhouette, with structured shoulders to balance your figure.
The short sleeves help keep it cool enough to wear even in the high temperatures, with a classic double breasted button fastening and notched lapels that make it formal and smart. The fitted bodice then flows into a pleated midi skirt which has plenty of movement for a breezy, effortless look.
Although Louise’s Karen Millen Tailored Midi Dress is still available to buy, it’s currently selling out quickly with only sizes six, 10 and 14 left in stock. We did however spot another very similar design at Karen Millen, with the Petite Tailored Crepe Asymmetric Pleated Midi Dress slashed by a huge 70% from £289 to £87.
Elsewhere this Friends Like These Red Long Sleeve Belted Wrap Tailored Dress from Next (£49) has a similar spirit to Louise’s Karen Millen dress, albeit with a more simple design. For something more breezy and on the casual side, Finery London’s Penny Red Midi Dress is also £49 and is made from a breezy, flowing cotton material.
However if you want to get your hands on Louise’s Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress and it still has your size available, now is the perfect time to snap it up.
