The Duchess of Edinburgh stunned in an effortlessly chic look as she visited St. Anne's Parish Hall for the W.I Christmas celebrations last week.
Sophie mastered an unexpected pairing as she donned an elegant, figure-hugging blazer with a retro-style skirt. The royal is no stranger to recycling her favourite garments, with the Gala Stretch-Twill Blazer from Helmut Lang being a capsule item in her wardrobe. The sophisticated black number featured structured shoulder pads and a deep neckline with a one-button closure.
Sophie layered the blazer over a simple black roll-neck top. The modern blazer was unusually paired with a Navy Lotus Flower skirt by Spanish label Matelier. The black skirt, which was cut elegantly on the ankle, was adorned with a stunning multi-coloured paisley pattern giving it a retro-chic look.
The Duchess recycled her favourite black suede Manzoni 85 Ankle Boots from luxury footwear label Aquazzura. Sophie accessorised her look with the Love the Life Quote Pendant from British fine jewellery brand Cassandra Goad. It seems Sophie is partial to a boho pattern as she donned a similar long dress adorned with a purple paisley print for the ‘ Together at Christmas’ 2024 carol concert .
The 59-year-old royal paired the bold dress with a pristine white blazer jacket embroidered with lace detail and a pair of camel suede boots with a chunky heel. When it comes to winter dressing, the Dutchess clearly has a stylish rule book – elegant blazers, long patterned ski.
