Not many are brave enough to pull off a white suit, yet the Countess of Wessex has shown us time and time again that she knows how to rock a daring two-piece. The mother-of-two looked uber luxurious in cream during an official visit to Congo where she opened a newly refurbished community hub in Kinshasa.

For the overseas occasion, Countess Sophie donned Eleventy's 'Double-Breasted Cashmere-Blend Blazer,' which featured sharp tailoring, a rich white hue, a masculine-inspired cut and pocket detailing. She teamed the set with a pair of tan wedge heels by royally-approved shoe designer Penelope Chilvers.

The royal opted for a radiant beauty blend

The Countess of Wessex is currently overseas on a royal visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She is visiting at the request of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

Buckingham Palace said that the trip will focus on addressing the devastating impact of sexual and gender-based violence in conflict while supporting and empowering survivors and tackling the stigma they face.

She slipped on some luxury wedges to compete her look

Earlier this week, the mother-of-two planted a tree alongside a plaque that features Her Royal Highness’ Congolese name, Umoja Mama Louise, that was given to her by representatives from the Pole Pole Foundation during a visit to Bukavu, South Kivu Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
