I really, really like the way the Countess of Wessex looked at the Gala in Monaco. The dress is soo lovely and flattering for her body and paired with elegant make up and the new jewels that she's wearing (at least new for her) she really looks great.

I will forgive her for committing the crime of wearing that horrible read dress.

Sophie looks great..well..with the exception of those stockings with that suit at the church ceremony. Her evening dresses are delightful...and the tiara...is it from the Queen's collection or a totally new one?

We don't know and they aren't telling.

LOVE the white lace gala dress. She looks so elegant and modern.

Earl And Countess Of Wessex

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW IS EDWARD ALLOWED TO WEAR A MILITARY OUTFIT, WHEN HE DROPED OUT?

 

[zeap]

His Royal Highness holds the following military appointments:
Royal Honorary Colonel Royal Wessex Yeomanry (2003, UK);
Colonel in Chief Saskatchewan Dragoons (2003, Canada);
Colonel in Chief Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment (2002, Canada).

The British Royal family showed class in sending Edward and Sophie. What marvelous representatives of Britain. They looked impeccable. Sophie is stunning--what a treasure for England!

 

[Elspeth]

The Duke of Gloucester also wears uniforms at official events even though he was never part of the military. As zeap says, they can do it because of honourary appointments.

The Gail

WELL DONE COUNTESS, WELL DONE!!!! I WAS LOOKING AT THE GAIL THAT ANGELINA JOLIE HAD ON ALSO AND IT LOOKS A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE COUNTESS, BUT ANGELINA JOLIE HAD ON A GOLD GAIL AND HER RIBBION WAS LONG IN FRONT. YOU CAN GO TO GETTY AND SEARCH FOR ANGELINA JOLIE RECENT SEARCH.

She indeed looks amazing in Monaco, both in day event and night gala, also the dinner a night before.
I'm glad the queen decided to let her wear a new tiara and bigger one too..

What tiara was that purple_platinum?

Re:





I've never really warmed to Sophie but I'm starting to like her more and more. She does look really regal in the above two pics (from Corbis). I agree Claire - thats a brilliant shot of her.

Does anyone have an info on this tiara? Is this from the colleciton or a new one? Sophie looks fantastic!

We assume it is aquamarine and diamonds, but that's it. Speculation has it that Prince Philip received his mother's aquamarine parure; this has been passed to the Earl and Countess of Wessex; the parure is being broken up and reset/remodelled.

But we don't actually know anything apart from the fact Sophie has been photographed wearing a tiara that until now hasn't been seen in public.

Let's not get involved in yet another round of "Baby for Sophie" speculation until we have something more reliable than Spanish newspaper gossip.

I really like Sophie's new tiara. It has an exotic look.

 

[ysbel]

Is Sophie wearing a sash of an order? I don't like where its placed-right under her bosom.

No, it is a black ribbon.
See this pic (third down) for a better look...

Poor thing has matronly upper arms and Edward looks GHOSTLY.

A second on the lips forever on the hips, Sophie!

well, under normal circumstances i would chide you for saying something so mean about dear sophie. but she does bring it on herself by borrowing a dress from Britney Spears.

 

[servingsophie]

I think HRH has a bit more class than Britney Spears. The Countess looks wonderful in the red dress. It was such a brave choice of outfit and she looks stunning! Well done Countess

 

[sm1939]

Must say I thought she looked fab in Monaco,
but I dont like her in the red dress, ( love the colour but not the actual dress on her)

 

[Avalon]

I think the Countess looked wonderful in the dress and tiara she wore for the Gala even. The dress was very elegant and suited her very much. But I just hated the hat she wore for the enthonement ceremony. It was terrible. Looked like a nest, for my taste. And I didn't like the red dress as well. It was too simple and lacked certain elegance.
