The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have touched down in Japan for an official four-day visit – and Sophie has wasted no time showcasing her impeccable style. 

So far, she’s stepped out in not one but two designer dresses: first, a paisley print frock by Valentino, followed by a floral silk shirt dress from Gabriela Hearst. 

In a striking shade of turquoise, Sophie’s Maude dress by Gabriela Hearst featured puffed short sleeves, a cinched waist and an elegant midi hemline, all brought to life with an elaborate floral motif. 

With a price tag of £2,930, it’s certainly an investment piece – but one destined to stand the test of time. Click the link below to shop it now. 

Prefer something more affordable? We’ve rounded up a selection of dreamy alternatives from Phase Eight, Lipsy and Whistles that deliver the same wow factor without the designer price tag.
