In a stunning display of royal elegance, Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh turned heads in Leeds today, donning a striking navy power suit valued at £1,380.
The 59-year-old royal seemed to channel her inner Princess of Wales during a royal engagement that coincided with International Women’s Day.
Accompanied by her husband, Prince Edward, Sophie radiated confidence as she observed practice sessions ahead of the community sport and recreation awards at Headingley Stadium.
Sophie’s choice of attire was nothing short of impressive.
The Max Mara suit perfectly complemented her figure and showcased her flair for sophisticated fashion.
It was clear that the Princess of Wales’s style had influenced Sophie’s wardrobe, emphasizing the royal’s affinity for power suits.
Adding an extra layer of warmth, she paired the outfit with a cream and black cashmere jumper that she had previously worn earlier this month.
Footwear played a key role in completing her ensemble.
Sophie opted for black leather St. Laurent 95 ankle boots that added a chic touch to her look.
Additionally, she carried a beige-striped Lisa bag from Sophie Habsburg, further enhancing her fashionable appearance.
To top it off, the Duchess wore a pendant featuring “The Golden Thread,” a meaningful piece designed by Cassandra Goad.
In a refreshing move, Sophie chose to wear her blonde locks naturally and opted for minimal makeup, showcasing her effortless beauty.
While the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are often considered among the most beloved royals, their public presence tends to fly under the radar compared to more prominent members of the royal family.
Royal expert Gareth Russell recently shared insights on this phenomenon during an interview with GB News.
He noted that despite receiving less media attention, the Duke and Duchess enjoy high levels of public favor.
Their dedication to royal duties and community engagement has not gone unnoticed, earning them significant support from the public.
Meanwhile, Lady Louise Windsor, the couple’s 20-year-old daughter, is making waves in the fashion world.
Often regarded as the late Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite grandchild, she appears to be following in her mother’s stylish footsteps.
Fashion expert Danielle Rogers-Clark remarked that Lady Louise has the potential to become a royal fashion icon, emphasizing the importance of finding her own confidence and style.
As the royal family continues to evolve, the upcoming Commonwealth Day service in London on March 11 will see Queen Camilla leading the royals.
Other expected attendees include Princess Anne, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
