Sophie, Countess of Wessex: The Royal Fashion Icon You Need to Know
When it comes to royal fashion, we often think of the likes of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.
However, there is one royal fashion icon that should not be overlooked – Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
Married to Prince Edward in 1999, Sophie has developed a signature style that is both chic and timeless.
Sophie's go-to look for events like weddings, services, and Royal Ascot involves high-neck dresses with modest hemlines from designers such as Amelia Wickstead and Susannah.
She also has milliner Jane Taylor on speed dial, just like Kate.
Sophie's style is a combination of all your favorite royals, and she has truly written the book on how to rock a code dress or team a chic hat with a modest day dress.
