The Duchess of Edinburgh has long been an under-the-radar style icon, and recently, she's been impressing us even more than usual. Her latest public outing is yet another fashion victory. For a visit to the Imperial War Museum, Sophie wore a sleek maxi shirt dress in pale pink - and it's now top of our summer wishlist.
Sophie's long sleeve dress has a classic shirt collar, and a dual-layered, A-line skirt with a cinching waist tie. But it's the details that give this dress the extra gloss; from the textured silk fabric to the expertly placed pleats of the skirt and the statement stitching around the perimeter of the waist-tie.
The designer dress is the 'Andy silk maxi dress' by Gabriela Hearst and is nearly sold out online. It is currently available at Net-A-Porter reduced to £1,275 from £2,550 - but rest assured! There are plenty of high street pieces to emulate Sophie's look for a fraction of the cost.
These are some of our favourites at a range of price points, from Kate Spade, Phase 8, Wallis and Aspiga - a favourite brand of Sophie herself.
The Duchess of Edinburgh was visiting the Imperial War Museum to see the UK's first major exhibition dedicated to sexual violence against women in conflict zones, 'Unsilenced: Sexual Violence in Conflict.' The topic is one which is close to the Duchess' heart, as she has worked with survivors and a number of initiatives including the United Nation's Women, Peace and Security agenda and the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative in the UK.
Sharing photographs of Sophie's visit to social media, the Royal Family added that the Duchess has visited a number of global locations to discuss the issue, including 'Kosovo, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ukraine and Chad.'
'Unsilenced: Sexual Violence in Conflict' is a free exhibition which will run at the International War Museum in London until November.
