Duchess Sophie always displays her incredible style credentials week after week, and we always notice there is one dress in particular she can't be without.

Prince Edward's wife has a fleet of floral dresses in her wardrobe, and they are all a similar, super-flattering cut.

Her most-worn frock is a striking green style by Suzannah London, known as the 'Monique' dress, which is designed with imprints of Iris flowers embaloned over the fabric.

Because the shape is so right on! It famously has a defined waist, a loose, flowing skirt, and the hem is often knee or midi length. The slightly close-fitting shape of the torso streamlines that area, and the wide skirt covers areas of the lower body you may not be comfortable with.

Sophie's style inspirations

Although we all think the 60-year-old royal is totally chic at all times, the mother-of-two is pretty modest when it comes to her wardrobe. At an event in 2018, the royal made a rare comment on her sense of style, playfully remarking: "I can't claim that my track record in fashion has always been as good as it is today, but you know, we learn in time."

When asked whose style she most admires, she quipped: "Angelina Jolie - I always think she looks amazing - and also Queen Rania of Jordan always looks stunning."

Looking like elegance personified, Sophie once again donned a Suzannah London gown. Based on the brand's best-selling 'Delphine' dress, it was cut from the most incredible white sequin cloth.
