The Duchess of Edinburgh looked effortlessly stunning as she stepped out in a designer, summer-ready ensemble on Thursday. Sophie travelled to Hertfordshire to attend the Groundswell Regenerative Agriculture Festival at Lannock Farm - a celebration of sustainable farming and innovation.
For the outdoor event, the 60-year-old royal appeared to take style inspiration from her niece Zara Tindall, who recently stepped out in a glamorous Polo outfit. The Duchess opted for a crisp and elegant blue and white striped shirt dress by British label Suzannah London, which retails at £690 - a brand favoured for its modern take on timeless silhouettes.
The look quickly sparked a flurry of praise among royal fans, many taking to social media to say she looked "amazing" and praising her growing status as one of the most stylish members of the Royal Family.
With its flattering wrap-style waist, classic collar, and flowing hemline, the dress offered the perfect blend of polish and practicality for a day in the countryside.
She completed the look with espadrille wedges and oversized sunglasses, exuding relaxed sophistication.
Fans rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, and said: "I love the dress so much!! She's looking amazing these days." While another added: "Love the whole look! So summery and effortlessly chic!"
A third fan agreed, commenting: "The blue bag and the stripes are a win. Another great look for summer."
Just a week earlier, her niece Zara Tindall, 46, had turned heads at the Windsor Cup Polo in a striking Ralph Lauren striped shirt dress-showcasing her signature blend of classic tailoring and relaxed elegance.
She styled the monochrome outfit with platform espadrilles and bold sunglasses-details Duchess Sophie appeared to take note of, drawing clear inspiration for her own effortlessly chic ensemble.
Just a day later, Duchess Sophie appeared to sweetly take a style cue from her niece, stepping out in a blue and white striped shirtdress by her go-to British designer, Suzannah London.
Her look echoed Zara's tailored, summery silhouette but with her own distinct twist-featuring a longer length and a softer, pastel palette.
Together, the royal women proved that classic shirting with a modern edge is the season's standout trend within the Firm.
