It’s time to celebrate. As the mother of the groom, you are representing your family as your son joins yours with another, so you better be dressed to impress. Elegant mother of the groom dresses are standard here at Karen Millen, from flowing, cascading hemlines, to slinky silhouettes, simple and minimal designs to dazzling, sparkling embellishments. There truly is a design for any person with any preference.
Scroll on for our top picks of mother of the groom dresses, broken down into the most popular colours of the moment, as well as statement fascinators certain to stand out in photos.
Champagne Mother of the Groom Dresses
Champagne is a truly elegant yet understated mother of the groom dress colour. With its nude-adjacent tone, it complements most skin tones and can be styled with silver or gold jewellery for an ethereal and well considered ensemble. A fascinator can be a matching nude tone or a contrasting white, or you could even ditch the fascinator all-together and replace it with a sparkling headpiece that matches your accessories.
Luxury fabrics like slinky satin add an extra level of opulence, and sparkling embellishments will catch the light beautifully as you take to the dancefloor.
Silver Gowns for Mother of the Groom
Sticking with the metallic theme, silver mother of the bride dresses are beautifully complementary to any skin tone and are effortlessly elegant.
Metallic fabrics like taffeta, and dazzling diamantes make for occasion-appropriate ensembles that will take you seamlessly from ceremony to reception. Features like cascading capes and three dimensional designs are perfect for creating an opulent, polished mother of the groom outfit.
Some silver dresses can be very pale, so be sure to check in with your future daughter-in-law as to whether your silver mother of the groom's dress looks too close to white.

Pink Mother of the Groom Dresses
Make a true statement in a pop of playful pink. Perfect for summer weddings and outdoor venues, a burst of colour is always a good idea at a wedding. Pastel pink makes a subtle statement and can easily be styled with pastel tones and metallics for a more monochrome take, or with navy blue or emerald green for a striking, contrasting take.
Bold, deep pink styles beautifully with gold or silver, so stack up the jewellery and opt for a matching, glitzy clutch bag and heels to go with it.
