I remember it as the dress she wore to Prince Albert of Monaco's religious wedding.
But you are right- same dress, styled with a longer jacket.
But Lumutqueen, you are right- that is the same dress at Epsom. Different hat than at the wedding.
Is this the 3rd time Sophie has worn this outfit? If it is, great recycling!

I said it was the same jacket as Epsom. Not the same dress.

Also, Sophie wore this to the religious wedding of Albert, http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/-4G9q...tess+of+Wessex

Sophie has had great wear out of her wedding outfit, which probably cost a packet! If I forked out a lot of money on an oufit i'd make sure to wear it several times.

I loved the dress from Monaco. It was such a flattering fit. I hope she wears it again too. The only bummer is the hats do not tend to be recycled as much as the dresses. The hats from Monaco and Zara's wedding were STUNNING, but both quite different colours, thus they are limited in what they can be paired with. Still, she looked gooooooood.

Sophie looks elegant today. Really like the jacket. Seems to go with a great deal of her outfits.

Good find lumutqueen! The jacket would look really good against a black dress underneath.

I meant to say jacket.... oops!
So she wore a different dress to the wedding? I cannot tell, they look the same!

The dress Sophie wore to Monaco is a lot darker than the dress she wore to William and Catherine's wedding. The British wedding outfit was a golden colour, whereas the Monaco wedding was a dark shade. I am not really sure what colour you would even say it was, but it looked lovely on her.

Sophie's wedding outfits this year (3 so far!) have all been spot on, especially Zara's. It's a shame we only saw that outfit briefly.

Oh, I know the outfit she wore for William and Kate's wedding was a different one than she wore for Albert's wedding, Molly.
I was comparing the one she wore to Albert's wedding to the outfit she wore 2day.
To me they look very similar to each other, if not the same outfit.

but IMO the dress she wore at Albert and Charlene 's concert after civil-wedding is different ( it's gold)

People are mentioning how well Sophie is aging and I agree - but Edward, too - like some men have a tendency to do - also looks pretty unchanged in these pictures. He could be in his late twenties or early thirties IMO.

[Molly2101]

I forgot about that lovely dress from the reception at Monaco; it's lovely! It is different from the wedding outfit, mainly because of the bow at the front. How many dresses does this woman own?! I am jealous. Those nude heels that all the Royal family seem to own are definitely getting good wear - Sophie wore them again yesterday!

I agree Tyger - Edward has aged very well. He's in his late 40's, yet he looks very good for his age. I think he has done well to not put on weight, which I feel Andrew has done thus aging him a lot. Edward has aged the best out of his siblings. Edward was always the better looking of the Queen's children, and we all know the Windsor family are not know for it's handsome looks! Edward got lucky in the sense that he ended up resembling his mother, as Princess Elizabeth was stunningly beautiful in her early years. All the attractive genes have come from the outsiders (Diana, Sophie, Catherine etc.) The next generation are going to be much better looking I feel. The men did well to pick beautiful woman, haha!

I'd call that look "tastefully sexy but with a huge silly bow."

Thanks for posting that link.

I absolutely love the hat she wore for the trooping of the colour.
