Duchess Sophie made a striking solo appearance on Monday at Northampton Bike Park, exuding effortless elegance with a modern twist.
Sophie, 60, pushed royal fashion boundaries in a crisp cropped white Prada jacket, complete with a pointed collar and bold gold buttons. She paired the structured piece with a thick white T-shirt—an unexpected but refreshing choice for a royal outing.
Balancing trend with tradition, the Duchess adhered to royal protocol in a flowing ankle-length skirt. The feminine floral design and cinched waist flattered her figure, while her ‘Rosalia’ pumps by Jimmy Choo added a touch of polished sophistication.
In a subtle beauty shift, Prince Edward’s wife opted for a graceful swept-updo, a departure from her usual voluminous blow-dry. The chic hairstyle showcased her delicate gold flower earrings, adding a soft, romantic finish to her look.
A Go-To Summer Essential
Sophie’s Prada jacket has become a standout staple in her summer wardrobe. Not only is it practical for layering in Britain’s ever-changeable weather, but its clean lines and sharp tailoring elevate any ensemble.
She previously wore the same piece almost a year ago at The Royal British Legion’s 80th Anniversary D-Day Service of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas. Then, she styled it over a vibrant emerald green floral dress from Suzannah London, finishing the look with white stilettos featuring a sleek black trim.
From formal ceremonies to park visits, the Duchess of Edinburgh continues to redefine royal style—merging timeless elegance with contemporary flair.
