The Duchess of Edinburgh's Fashion and Style, Part 2: July 2024 -

[Elly C]

Yes, it’s a better look today mainly because of the pretty colour but not for the deep slit in the dress .

The Duchess of Edinburgh during engagements in Essex today, May 12 - a great dress, but it doesn't combine well with the jacket:

[Elly C]

Yes, it’s another attractive print with colours that suit her, but the jacket spoils it- she’d probably have been better with a cropped style instead. It’s really begun to strike me how many of these patterned dresses she had which rarely get repeated .I have never thought of her as wasteful, but other senior British royal ladies seem frugal by comparison.

 

[An Ard Ri]

It looks much nicer minus the jacket.

 

[MsJulie]

The jacket looks like an after thought…maybe it was chilly and she took it as a last minute idea. The dress is very pretty

Well she has a lovely smile. Otherwise it’s another ‘hotchpot’ outfit.

 

[Snowangel]

I think she looks really nice

 

[PrincessofEurope]

The jacket doesn't work with the dress and the dress is too long. But as these are private engagements and down time and so its casual Sophie dressing

Were we supposed to see the additional pink layer under her dress?

 

[Healthy Sceptic]

Love the hat, the dress is too long and I don't like the gathered cuffs. Hmm, I don't really like the colors of the pattern either. The bling at the neckline is fun.

 

[EllieCat]

Hmmmm... all over a bit of a miss for Sophie..... JIMO of course.

Its a beautiful colour and Sophie really stands out the crowd!

 

[Elly C]

The colour is nice and I like the hat, but there’s a bit too much going on .
I like the length of the second dress - wish she would adopt this more frequently. The fitted style is also attractive but the print, although nice is a little too much on the shoulder section.

I also prefer shorter hemlines on her, she looks better proportioned and livelier with a higher hemline.

I agree, it’s all about proportions. This is a pretty dress in a colour that suits her, and it’s a more fitted style.

 

[PrincessofEurope]

Agree re the length - the cornflower blue is a perfect colour for her and I like the details. It feels appropriate for the nature of the event

Not a great appearance by the Duchess of Edinburgh today ,it could be the hairstyle.

 

[Elly C]

It’s the usual issues of a length that is way too long and a voluptuous blouse and skirt. None of this flatters her figure. The colours are lovely - what a shame.

There's a lot going on with the jacket ,suede and boots and is slightly a mishmash outfit.

 

[Elly C]

I really think she has lost her way fashion- wise, which is a real shame as she’s such a hardworking and seemingly cheerful royal. We know she can look great, but increasingly there are more misses than hits. I wish she’s hone her wardrobe and settle for more staples that she knows work.
