Prince Edward's wife attended a moving exhibition in London. Hello!
On Wednesday, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, attended a significant event at the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office in London. She was there to view the traveling photo exhibition titled The Women Who Beat ISIS, which highlights the courage and resilience of women who have fought against ISIS.
For this solemn occasion, the 59-year-old Duchess chose a rare, understated outfit. She wore a white A-line dress that featured a flowing skirt and a high neck, giving off an elegant yet simple appearance. This look was paired with a tailored, single-breasted tweed blazer, worn buttoned-up, and white Jimmy Choo heels with black straps and tiny pearl details that gave them a vintage touch.

It’s not often that Sophie wears all-white, as she typically opts for more neutral or darker tones for public appearances. The last time she wore an entirely white dress was during Royal Ascot in June 2024, when she made an appearance on the second day of the event. On that occasion, she wore a stunning ankle-length white dress from Suzannah London, adorned with daisies, which she paired with elegant accessories including a white leather bag and a beautiful Jane Taylor hat.

The Duchess’ choice to wear white for such a poignant occasion was a reflection of the event’s gravity. The Women Who Beat ISIS exhibition honors the bravery of women who have been central to fighting back against the extremist group, and it was an opportunity for the Duchess to show her support for the resilience and strength of these women. Her elegant yet thoughtful ensemble underscored the significance of the exhibition, bringing attention to the ongoing struggles faced by these women.
