| The Countess of Wessex hosted an Afternoon Tea at Buckingham Palace on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Scar Free Foundation. Scar Free Foundation is focused on advancing medical research in the areas of wound healing, burns and cleft lips. The Countess is the Patron of the Scar Free Foundation since 2002 and she opened the Foundation’s Centre for Conflict Wound Research at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, last November. The Duchess wore a wool knit dress by Azzedine Alaïa. |
Azzedine Alaïa Wool Blend Lace Knit Dress
The dress is lovely and the Countess looks smart and festive in it. Alaia is known for his excellent (and sometimes unusual) shaping. She appears to have 2 different hairstyles as well: a clip and then a pony tail. I love how engaged she is with the dear child and her commitment to such a worthy cause.

This is a beautiful dress on C. Sophie - lovely colour, good fit, and flattering length. I really dislike the plastic clip in her hair though. It’s way too casual. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree.. the clip is way to casual.
DeleteSophie is hardworking, I admire her work ethic. She looks lovely in this festive looking dress. Well done.
ReplyDeleteSophie playing with the little girl is so cute! I love the color of the dress. - Capt. Marvel
ReplyDeletewonderful dress! Sophie looks fab.
ReplyDeleteAnd the foundation seems to be a great thing.
Love, how she plays with the little girl.
Très joli look festif tant dans la couleur que de la bonne coupe ; la longueur flatte sa silhouette !
ReplyDeleteThe Countess of Wessex has the ability to show compassion and respect to other people. She doesn't make a star of herself, yet she is still elegant. If other members of the British royal family (!) act like her, they would not have to complain about the media attacks.
ReplyDeleteWell said! And A compliment for this lovely lady too!
DeleteNice dress I would have opted for reg pumps. I must say she does well with children.
ReplyDeleteFunny how we (I include myself) kind of forgive her for her lack of "nice" hairstyle while we comment more on Maxima's look. Maybe because hers looks like key and Maximas looks disastrous?
ReplyDeleteI find her dress lovely

I totally agree with you Luna.
DeletePinto
I donot understand your comparisson: its mostly the lack of effort we dislike in Maxima’s hair; You cannot say the same thing of D. Sophie
DeleteWhat a precious photo with C. Wessex playing peek-a-boo with the little girl. She is a special lady and the guests as well.
