Duchess Sophie wore a simply stunning dress on Wednesday afternoon as she was spotted at Buckingham Palace for the King's Garden Party.
The royal, who turned 60 earlier this year, wore a fabulous pencil dress that was adorned with a charming floral print. The stylish number by Erdem had a high neckline and was cut with a body-skimming fabric that gave her a wonderfully streamlined silhouette.
Sophie normally wears florals in a plethora of pastel colours, so some may say that the bold flowers in the dark tone almost gave her a feminine, slightly gothic look. Wow!

His Majesty the King's garden parties are quite the soiree. Specially selected members of the public can enjoy the regal surroundings, and this is quite the occasion as the palace gardens are not usually open to members of the public.
The royal ladies love Erdem
Canadian-Turkish designer Erdem is a firm favourite of the royal family.
As well as Sophie, the Duchess of Sussex has always been a huge fan, donning the label on many public occasions when she was a working royal, and the high-end fashion designer has fast become a favourite of the Princess of Wales, too.

Almost a full house!

The dazzling, bold berry tone of the dress made her stand out as she joined Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Prince and Princess of Wales and King Charles. At the time, Sophie accessorised with high-heeled, navy pumps, a burgundy clutch bag and a subtle yet chic hat.
