The Duchess of Edinburgh attended a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace alongisde her husband and the Prince and Princess of Wales. For the occasion, she wore a blue lace dress from Suzannah London.
Sophie’s dress is in a beautiful cornflower blue and is not new in her wardrobe, in fact, she debuted it last summer for Royal Ascot.
It is unusual that she chose this dress considering how close in colour it is to Kates – it is merely a few shades darker than the Princess’ – and according to Meghan Markle in her Netflix docuseries, female royals aren’t supposed to wear the same colours for public engagements.
Nevertheless, Sophie’s dress is made from 100 percent cotton lace with a 100 percent silk lining, and is still available to buy today for £1,290.
The product descriotion for the dress reads: “Beautiful blue Italian cotton Guipure lace shirt dress with separate bias cut silk inner slip dress and a detachable lace belt.
“A gathered frill cuts diagonally through the bodice and is echoed in the shirred cuffs of the 3/4 length sleeves.
“The dress can be styled beautifully with elegant millinery for race meet or wedding.”
Today, Sophie had styled it almost the same as when she wore it last year, with the same blue hat and clutch bag.
She had, however, chosen nude heels instead of blue today.
