Duchess of Edinburgh Shines in Floral A-Line Skirt at Guide Dogs UK Event

The Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, turned heads with her impeccable style during her recent solo appearance at the Buddy Dogs Family Event in Reading on Friday. The 59-year-old royal exuded elegance in a stunning A-line maxi skirt adorned with a beautiful floral print, perfectly encapsulating the essence of autumn fashion.

Sophie, a patron of Guide Dogs UK, paired her flowing Valentino x Undercover skirt with a structured, sculptural navy blazer that featured single-breasted buttons, enhancing her regal silhouette. This chic ensemble showcased her knack for combining classic pieces with contemporary flair.

For accessories, the Duchess opted for a poppy brooch from M&S to complement her look, along with a Lulu Guinness clutch that was also decorated with poppy motifs. On her feet, she sported her go-to Aquazzura ‘Manzoni 85s’ in navy suede, adding a touch of sophistication to her outfit. To complete her look, Sophie adorned herself with Cassandra Goad’s ‘Golden Thread Silver Coat Pendant.’

What stood out in Sophie’s look was her unique hairstyle. She styled her signature bouncy blowout into a relaxed low bun, secured with a velvet scrunchie, and added an unexpected pop of color with electric blue eyeliner, showcasing her playful yet sophisticated side.

This isn’t the first time the Duchess has paired a flowy skirt with a fitted jacket. In June, she made an appearance at the UK National Service of Remembrance, hosted by the Royal British Legion, where she was seen wearing a white cropped blazer from Prada over a stunning emerald floral dress by Suzannah London.

During another event in May, Sophie was spotted at the Keys Ceremony at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where she opted for a more unconventional silhouette by wearing a Suzannah London ‘Remi’ jacket in forest green cloqué fabric, perfectly matched with a voluminous skirt, showcasing her fashion versatility.
