Duchess Sophie's detailed tunic dress in navy and gold was the perfect regal look as the Duchess side-stepped her typical style.

• Many members of the Royal Family gathered at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, July 18, 2023.
•  Duchess of Edinburgh was among the various members of the Royal Family in attendance at this engagement.
• In other royal news, Queen Rania hops on two major trends in casual t-shirt and cream linen maxi skirt, and the result is summer perfection

On July 18, the Duchess of Edinburgh attended an event in Windsor hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla. The event was hosted to celebrate the work of Shakespeare on the 400th anniversary of the publication of the first Shakespeare Folio.

For this high-class affair, Duchess Sophie's detailed tunic dress was the perfect look as the Duchess stole the show in the navy and gold Paisley-Print V-Neck Woven Midi Dress from Etro. The dress was tunic style and featured unique detailing across the collar, chest, and skirt. It seems that the Duchess may have borrowed a leaf out of Queen Camilla's style book as a tunic dress is a preferred style of Queen Camilla who has often been snapped in this type of dress for engagements.
