On Wednesday, the Duchess of Edinburgh paid a visit to Moor House School and College in Oxted. For the wholesome outing, the royal relied upon her trusty staple pieces for spring, turning to high street ME+EM for sartorial guidance.
Duchess Sophie stepped out in the brand’s beloved ‘Sheer Crinkle Silk-Blend Maxi Dress in Deep Cobalt Blue,’ which boasted a radiant yet electric shade, long sleeves, an ethereal silhouette, a rounded neckline, and delicate crinkle detailing.
The royal paired the striking garment with a sumptuous overcoat by MaxMara, coined by the brand as the ‘Custodi Double-Breasted Brushed Wool Coat,’ in a serene shade of sand white. The luxurious outerwear piece is one of the duchess’ go-to pieces and looked terrific when teamed with her thrown-on frock.
Of course, Sophie being Sophie, the look wouldn’t be complete without a modest besprinkling of sparkle. The mother-of-two accessorised with Hermes' ‘Constance Amulette Rose Gold Pendant,’ which featured a fine chain and a model of a classic Hermes bag boasting the label’s insignia initial.
The Duchess wore her blonde hair tied back in a classic princess style and opted for a natural makeup blend to highlight her famous features.
