This weekend, the Duchess of Edinburgh once again demonstrated why her style is so well-suited to equestrian events.
Sophie attended the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury Racecourse, a classic event on the British calendar. After the race, she presented the trophy to owner Bryan Drew and jockey Tristan Durrell, but she had already captured everyone’s attention with her practical outfit that works so well for her.
What the duchess was wearing
Claire Mischevani’s khaki coat was the centerpiece of the look. The Duchess paired it with a plum-colored Roksanda midi dress, a combination that adds depth without sacrificing elegance.
It’s the kind of combination Sophie frequently wears: solid colors, defined cuts, and a well-thought-out base that allows her to move through a crowd without losing her presence.
The accessories that completed the duchess’s outfit.
Here, Sophie experimented with textures and finishes. She chose Penelope Chilvers’ Sinatra boots in a biscuit suede tone that perfectly complements the coat. She also carried a Noble Macmillan clutch with a tassel, a small but distinctive detail.
The jewelry was equally well-chosen: diamond earrings from Adore Jewels and the Woodland bracelet from Asprey London, a yellow gold piece with oak leaves that always draws attention with its delicate design.
