Duchess Sophie once again proves that staple pieces in your wardrobe can make all the difference

As a longtime follower of all things royal and fashion, I must say that Duchess Sophie‘s latest appearance at the Edinburgh International Festival has truly won my heart! The simplicity and elegance of her outfit are a breath of fresh air in the often extravagant world of royal fashion.


For a period spanning from August 4th to the 25th, the Edinburgh International Festival provides an opportunity for top-tier artists worldwide to display their skills on stage. Ranging from opera singers to dancers, the talent pool appears virtually unlimited among those involved in the festival. It’s also worth mentioning that it’s quite common for members of the royal family to attend some of these enchanting performances.

It appears that the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh attended the event specifically to witness Sir Mark Elder’s final performance as musical director for The Hallé. This occasion drew attention to Duchess Sophie’s selected attire.

It’s hardly surprising, given our coverage of royal fashion, that we looked to the @Remisagoodboy X (formerly Twitter) account for insights into what the duchess wore during this performance. Interestingly, it was discovered that the duchess was selecting items from her own wardrobe to demonstrate how having essential pieces can effortlessly create multiple striking outfits.

What caught our attention about the Duchess’s outfit is making us reconsider our wardrobe essentials. She opted for a combination of an Albero Blazer by Max Mara and a midi dress from Me + Em, both appearing to be in an off-white hue. The simplicity of these solid-colored pieces, without any distracting details, contributes to the outfit’s harmonious look.

Take a look at the break down for this look, as well as the overall fit below:

Essentially, this style focuses on enhancing everyday essentials. With key items like the belt or bag, you can effortlessly amp up the outfit. The standout piece serves to accentuate the Duchess’s look, making it more striking and memorable.

Occasionally, it’s delightful when members of the royal family opt for simpler garments and liven them up with stylish accessories. Additionally, we always appreciate seeing a royal piece being recycled in a new way.
