What should mother of the bride wear if she’s walking bride down the aisle?

What should mother of the bride wear if she’s walking bride down the aisle? I will be walking my daughter down the aisle. Her dress is white and red, bridesmaids are in red. I was thinking I should wear a black gown to match the groom with the same red as the bride for a wrap and shoes. I am just not sure if it’s ok to wear black. Thank you for any advice you can give.
