Looks lovely in orange. The black coat is a good accent to it. :flowers::lol:
 
I love the combo of black and orange but I don't think the jacket does anything for her.
I love the cream suit though
 
I like the polished white outifit but I think that the high-neck sweather underneath the cape clashes a bit. I definitely prefer the sporty look
 
Agree very chic in cream sporty is really lovely
 
Diamond challenge, in honor of the DOE awards 60th anniversary. The tshirt is part of the package people receive who sign up to take part in the event. Great to see her supporting her FIL/husband's charity.

Yes, Sophie is a Global Ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh Award and she’s taking part in the Diamond challenge.

A bit off topic, but worth noting, anyone, anywhere can participate and in more than a bike ride. A 60 pound donation is the qualifier, and you can join in on adventure, personal or skill goal.

Or, say you were coming off surgery/injury and had a bit of physical therapy to do. You could set up a JustGiving account and dedicate your rehab efforts to the challenge. I think it would be splendid to think of the DofE to add a bit of spark to the effort.
Here is the COW JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Countess-of-Wessex.
 
The Alice Reed dress looks lovely on Sophie, The Countess of Wessex. The look is simple and unfussy. As many European royal ladies, Sophie tends to wear too many pieces of jewellery.

the neckline is interesting, but overall not her best look, imo. The non color isn't great and the knit is too tight, showing every lump, very unforgiving.
 
I like the top Sophie wore on May 12, but am not a fan of the skirt with it as to me it seems like there's a little too much going on. The colours overall are great and Sophie looks quite elegant.
 
Yes, I've thought her to be a "spring" since for quite awhile. She looks so beautiful in cream colours.:flowers:

In the parlance, she is a true spring, even though she can pull off black and some winter colours. Pretty in pastels!
 
The blue coat is very elegant.

One of Kate's go to designers and something you could see her wearing.

The dress looks nice on Sophie, though I may have gone with a bit of color for a garden party. But she still looks very appropriate.

I don't really like those 2 pieces together.. the outfit does nothing for her IMO
 
I usually love her style but this is a miss :sad:

The proportions seem off. The skirt seems to be sitting at an odd place on her. And I find the skirt too long for the volume of the skirt. That skirt in a pencil, or an A-line but shorter would have looked much better. I like the print on it.

The top just looks bad with it. Nice top, but think the odd rise of the skirt, just makes the top frumpy. Not a good combination.
 
Is the gentleman with her in the first picture wearing spats? Perhaps they're making a comeback.
