On the evening of January 23, 2025, the Duchess of Edinburgh attended the Royal Corps of Army Music dinner at Gibraltar Barracks in Camberley. The Duchess is the Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Corps of Army Music (RCAM). The Royal Corps of Army Music serves as a Corps of the British Army, dedicated to providing and promoting military music. For the occasion, the Duchess chose to wear a stunning pleated lace gown designed by Erdem.
ERDEM Lindsay pleated lace gown






She's obviously a beautiful woman, but I don't like this dress.
ردحذفThe shape, the colour, even the length... In my opinion, there's something wrong with it.
Nevertheless, I find her just as beautiful with her hair loose. She has a beautiful smile.

Ah beautiful Sophie, I don’t think this is the dress for you. Because it’s so voluminous yet tied at the waist I think it’s only destined for tall very slim models. The colour and the glitter do her well, but the dress requires more structure to work as well as it should for its price and the event. Nevertheless, she’s lovely.
ردحذفThese are exactly my thoughts too. It's a very pretty dress but not for Sophie. The light frothiness adds bulk to her figure. It is meant for a very tall and very slim person. But still, she looks lovely.

Is that a badge or a citrine brooch?
ردحذفIt is her Colonel's badge. Janet
حذفThis is a clear no from me. Lace, transparency, pleats, glitz&sparkle are all fine features. But please, not all of them applied from the jawline down to the floor in the horizontal, interrupted only by a self-belt that makes it look like a morning gown. Give us just a bit of skin somewhere - or a skirt like this, but with a *very* simple black top and a necklace.
ردحذفShe looks always very stylish and ‘très royale’, she is a hard working woman and a ‘treasure’ for the family, especially in difficult times is Sophie stand by, great respect!
ردحذفShe looks lovely — soft and feminine from head to toe. The pictures suggest that the dress moves beautifully. — Jane
ردحذفHer hair looks strange. Sophie seems to look better in the dress by ERDEM now than on the last picture (next to the model).
ردحذفTotally agree about the hair. She tried to make it look fuller but it looks like it needs a good brushing..
حذفAgreed. The hairstyle is special.

The hairstyle is home made.
حذفI wonder if round necks and tie waist belts are flattering on Sophie. A V or square neck and maybe not wear anything that requires a tie waist.
ردحذفSophie’s has a gorgeous figure,I just wish she would seek the help of a stylists to figure out what works and doesn’t work on her.
Lowri.

حذفI agree with you entirely about the neckline and the tie waist--it's not a flattering look overall. I also think that the colour is far too pale. She really suits strong colours but seems to wear a lot of cream and beige.
حذفFar from the best choice this Erdem dress for the DoE; colour, fit as well as model are not so good. Maybe if the hair would have been in an updo the overall picture may have looked better
ردحذفSophie looks beautiful at this engagement. Her dress is soft, flowing, and quite regal looking. Love how she styled her hair and her makeup is just right. She is such a beautiful, hard working, loyal part of the English royal family.

I don't like it on the model either. Looks like a (depending on the fabric) very luxurious, or very cheap nightgown.
ردحذفThe dress is okay, perhaps in person it looks better. She would of needed a pop,of colour like gems along the collar. I think that if it was mid calf in length or 3/4 sleeve , wouldn’t look like the dress swallows her up.
ردحذفSophie looks so radiant 🥰 fantastic smile but unfortunately big NO to this dress; it’s looking more like a nightgown
ردحذفJolie robe mais qui n'est pas faite pour la silhouette de Sophie surtout au niveau de sa longueur mais peut-être qu'une ceinture fine en cuir aurait équilibré son look !
ردحذفHer hair looks unkempt and the dress like a nightgown. Lovely smile, though.
ردحذفNot bad, but way too long.

There is footage on YouTube, this gown moves beautifully, falls well, she looked stunning. I like this gown and its nice to see a rewear of it. I'm not sure what the brooch is, but I can make out a necklace and earrings, its nice to see her usage of jewelry. Lovely!
ردحذفSuperbe Sophie
ردحذفFroufrou
Sophie looks so attractive in these photos. Her hairstyle is so soft and it compliments her dress perfectly., very soft.
ردحذفI think Sophie has a very pretty, romantic look here. Erdem is not always my favorite, but I like the flowy, simple look of this dress. Sophie’s hair looks quite nice worn down and with some volume. She looks much younger than 60 to me.

Sophie is such a beautiful woman in a soft and demure way. I have mixed feelings about this gown but I like it better this time out because I think it is more flattering with her hair down. The hairstyle is a bit too sprayed and teased but I think the dress needs fuller hair than the sleek up-do the first time.

This is a rare miss for me.
