Duchess Sophie upholds her own royal fashion tradition with dusty blue Garden Party outfit and her maxi dress is divine

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh greets guests wearing a blue dress and hat during the Sovereign's Garden Party held at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Duchess Sophie has upheld her own royal fashion tradition with her stunning dusty blue outfit at a Garden Party in Scotland.

Sometimes there are occasions when we don’t want to wear our best jumpsuit or midi dresses and it’s at times like those that a maxi dress can be a brilliant alternative. Maxi dresses can often be a beautiful choice for day-wear if you style them more casually and for special events, they can be show-stopping. This was how we felt after seeing Duchess Sophie’s dusty blue maxi dress for a Garden Party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on 2nd July. She braved the rain in this pastel number from Roland Mouret. We often see the Duchess of Edinburgh in pink and floral prints in summer but this blue dress was a style switch-up that really paid off.
