Duchess Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, landed in Alderney wearing a gorgeous cold-weather ensemble. She honored the 80th anniversary of Homecoming Day with plenty of flash. The 60-year-old monarch dazzled spectators with her bold appearance. She seamlessly mixed traditional with trendy, a perfect example of her graceful style.
On December 15, Duchess Sophie made headlines by donning raspberry-hued wide-leg trousers, a departure from her usual neutral winter palette. The pants had a wonderful free flowing vibe, which offset beautifully her tailored dark blue military cut jacket by Laurie & Jules. This winning combination helped to showcase her high-end but down-to-earth look.
Duchess Sophie tends to favor bland colors during the fall and winter. Her recent use of bold pink brought a completely new and youthful spirit to her look. She matched the pants with chic tan suede block-heeled boots by Penelope Chilvers. To finish off her stunning outfit, she wore a leather mini handbag by Emilio Perera.

>The Duchess turned heads in a previous engagement where she smiled warmly while wearing an oatmeal rollneck dress, further proving her versatility in winter fashion. She masterfully mixes deep, reddish burgundies with bright, lighter colors. This is a great example of her vintage flair, while keeping warm that fall and winter offer.
On December 18, 2024, Duchess Sophie carried out her royal duties as Patron, visiting The Lighthouse in Woking, England. Her philanthropic engagement and commitment are palpable as she is often on the go attending diplomatic tui events or benefiting events supporting many charitable causes.
“It works as the trousers are anchored with a neutral colour. The warm pink tone also softens the formality of the outfit, making it feel approachable and modern without losing authority.” – Angela Kyte
