The Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, graced the Royal Windsor Flower Show this Saturday, an event held in the historic grounds of Windsor Great Park.
The day-long celebration pays homage to gardening, nature, food, traditional crafts and old-fashioned fun, a show Sophie obviously didn’t want to miss.
Duchess of Edinburgh’s Style at the Royal Windsor Flower Show
Wearing a midi dress with puffed sleeves and ruffled cuffs, Sophie watched a unique puppet show.
The crocheted puppets represented her and her husband, the Earl of Wessex, and even Elton John appeared on the small stage.
The Duchess chose a light and airy dress, perfect for a day in Windsor Gardens.
The design featured a V-neckline and a striking floral print, a mix of bohemian and elegant styles, a common theme in her wardrobe.
Her accessories were subtle: an “S” chain, a delicate bracelet and earrings with blue stones, all gold-plated.
However, one accessory stood out: the belt.
Sophie gave a different touch to her outfit with a brown denim-style belt with a large silver buckle adorned with stones, which cinched the dress at the waist.
On her feet, she opted to wear grey, straw wedges tied with bows, ideal for negotiating the uneven terrain.
Her makeup was as subtle as her accessories, focusing attention on the dress and belt.
This choice proved wise when she later sampled various sweets with culinary writer Mary Berry, avoiding the need to touch up her lipstick.
Sophie was guided by gardener and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh, who also serves as honorary chairman of the event. Later, they enjoyed a ride in a carriage adorned with flowers from the gardens.
