Duchess Sophie perfects floral dressing with multi-tonal pink accessories and coral lipstick for Ascot
The Duchess of Edinburgh looked radiant in florals and pinks for the third day of Ascot
Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh looked gorgeously radiant as she combined florals with pink in a silk shirt dress with multi-tonal accessories, adding a pop of coral lipstick to top off the look for day 3 of Ascot.
When you think of spring/summer fashion trends, florals usually spring to mind and while a classic frock with a flower print is timeless, it can be easy to overdo it if you begin to clash prints or add too many pops of colour in the form of accessories.
But if you're after inspiration for sporting florals with elegance and style, look to the Duchess of Edinburgh's outfit for the third day of Ascot 2024.
Duchess Sophie has been amongst various royal women stepping out at the famous racing event this week and wowing us with their sartorial choices. What with Zara Tindall's bluebell-toned dress and cool sunnies and Carole Middleton's powder blue number with navy accessories, we've been thoroughly impressed.
And Sophie's flower-focussed look was no different. The Duchess opted for an ultra elegant silk shirt dress by Suzannah London, steering away from fine prints and embracing a bolder, more spaced out floral pattern on a crisp white background.
Tapping into 2024 fashion colour trends, Sophie went pink-toned with her accessories, choosing a rich cherry-toned clutch by Sophie Habsburg and a lighter blossom pink wide-brimmed hat with the two tones perfectly complementing each other as well as the flecks of pink on her floral dress' pattern.
