The Duchess of Edinburgh is currently ruling in the style stakes at Royal Ascot, wowing fellow attendees with her fashion-forward look.
Duchess Sophie paired a gorgeous long-sleeved Suzannah London floral print dress with Prada shoes, but it was her bespoke hat that got royal watchers really excited.
The powder blue headpiece was handmade bespoke for Sophie by hatmakers Jane Taylor Millinery, complete with handmade pansies created by flower-maker specialist Anne Tomlin, who said of the creation: "A triumph and a privilege to make silk pansies for this stunning hat."

Others praised Sophie's style in general, writing: "Love it, she seems to be having more fun than ever with her clothes," and: "I swear, Sophie is aging backwards. She's glowing and looks so beautiful. Seems to have learned the styles that complement her figure."
Another wondered if we might see the pretty gown worn by Sophie's daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, in future as she often rewears her mother's clothes. "Great dress. She can loan it to her daughter as well."
