Duchess Sophie brought the sunshine on Friday as she was seen at the Sovereign's Parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, in Camberley, Surrey.

The blonde royal looked stunning in her delightful coat dress, which was designed in the most ethereal powder blue. It was a magnificent colour on the mother-of-two, and she accessorised the style perfectly, rocking a matching fascinator and even high heels in the same tone to match.

We couldn't help but be reminded of the Princess of Wales. The wife of Prince William is known for her elite collections of dress coats and has worn a blue combo like this almost three years ago.

Her chic, cerulean blue coat dress had a tailored finish, which was belted at the waist and gave her the sleekest silhouette, just like Sophie's version. Kate teamed it with the most gorgeous sling-back shoes that came complete with a sparkling strap by Aquazzura.

The brunette royal wore her hair in a sleek updo style and subtle makeup highlighted her lovely features. 

We adored her coordinating hat and sparkling jewellery - also in blue, too.

Princess Kate's statement coats

The Princess of Wales and her capsule wardrobe are copied by many women around the world. One of the items she is rarely seen without is a statement coat, and the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis has a plethora of shades.
