Aspiga London Victoria V-Neck Long Sleeve Stretch Corduroy Dress
HARRIS WHARF Wool Blend Long Wrap Coat In Gingham Print
The dress has a lovely silhouette but is too long. The length on the model is preferable.
ردحذفI agree, though I would prefer it even shorter than on the model. A ruffle of 10cm width would suffice.
حذفBeautiful! I like the coat, the dress, the hairstyle, ... IP
ردحذفI agree. She looks absolutely lovely.
حذفAgree with the usual caveat that I wish the dress was shorter. The lady in the beautiful red dress has got it right; the lady in the black skirt in the last question has gone for far too short, which is not at all flattering. No matter the length of the dress, Sophie looks great these days
حذفJe suis agréablement surprise par Sophie qui porte un manteau près du corps dont la légèreté avantage sa silhouette ; il semble quand même un peu trop long comme d'ailleurs sa robe à l'élégant décolleté en V !
ردحذفAh, how I love a nice corduroy dress! Lovely colour as well.
ردحذفBeautiful blue color. I would be very cold in such a deep v-neck. I find the dress more of a dinner dress, not something for a businesslike occasion as this.
ردحذفEverything she wears is always too long. Is she a short person? And why not have things altered to fit better. I am sure the model is tall but I think the length is better on her. Not so overwhelming.

So pretty! Colour suits her.
ردحذفSo pretty. Coulor suis her.
ردحذفI don't care much for the dress, but my God! that coat is beautiful.
ردحذفT
Agree 100% Love the coat, the dress is way to 1980's and that is a decade that fashion really doesn't need to revisit in my opinion.
حذفLOVE her hair like this!
ردحذفLove Sophie's new hairstyle, it's fun, flirty, youthful & fresh. Looks great on her! Dress is a bit dowdy looking even with the low v-neck, the tailored coat doesn't really match and is shorter than the dress. A no-no in this instance. S.M.
ردحذفI wonder why Prince Edward never accompanies her?
ردحذفMJT
Her husband Prince Edward has his own obligations and meetings - they are just not written about, because: 1. he is a man and men's fashion is not much discussed in social columns, 2. He avoids scandals, does not gossip, does not complain and does not whine. 3. He does his work quietly, without fanfare.
حذفDecent people don't fill the pages of newspapers.
Last year he had more meetings than his wife, although it's no contest.
He goes to DofE (Duke of Edinbourgh Award) committee meetings alone and always prepared. I had the honor of meeting him twice while working on the DofE.
Sophie - in my opinion, this is how a member (married into) of the royal family should behave. Beautiful lady.

That still doesn't address the question about them having joint engagements. It is very rare and I think the reactions would be very positive. I appreciate the fact that you have a lot of personal feelings and opinions that did come through in your response, but I have wondered the same thing.
حذف@MJT : We can wonder the same thing for Princess Mary and Prince Frederik.
حذفOh, and also the King and Queen of the Netherlands.
Countess Sophie looks lovely. The coat is beautiful. Unfortunately it is shorter than the dress which is too long. The dress would have been really beautiful in another fabric .f. ex. "crèpe de laine" (don't know it in English). The blue color suits the Countess very well. Her hair is beautifully done. She looks so young on these photos. Marcella
ردحذف@Marcella : "crèpe de laine" maybe "wool crepe"
حذفThe dress does nothing for me. I am not sure what kind of material is used, but the sleeves and ruffled skirt doesn't go well. I do like the lady 's red dress in the photo , easier on the eye than Sophie's.
ردحذفGreat coat, at the very first photo it looks more purple than the original brown one, don't you think? I'm not so happy with the dress, there is too much going on IMO. And apart of the clothes I'm proud to see my professor (I'm Polish and lawyer as well) as a prezydent of the ICC!
ردحذفNice dresses for her overseas tour. Her hair looked really good. Today's dress was nice, but the black blazer did not match. css
ردحذفI like the dress, but not for the setting. Ruffles at The Hague just seems wrong. A silhouette that's a touch more business like maybe?
ردحذفLove her coat and dress--what a beautiful shade of blue for Sophie. Her hair looks fabulous--great cut and color and plenty of volume.
ردحذفJanet
The checkered coat is beautiful, I like this very much. The blue velvet dress looks lovely, I love the length. Sophie's hair and makeup look exceptionally nice.
ردحذفHair looks so soft and pretty. The colour of her dress is gorgeous on her. The dress a no from me.
ردحذفIt was just brought to my attention that Sophie CoW also met with Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau at this event. There are pictures of the meeting out there. Just saying.
