The Duchess dazzled in a beautiful coral colored Beulah dress, called the ‘Yahvi’ midi dress. Her sumptuous cream outfit had flared long sleeves that hung open at the ends, a nipped bodice and round neckline. The A-line skirt was decorated with a series of buttons down one side, giving her an air of elegance. Her outfit made a bold statement, while exemplifying her chic style. It also served to show off her ability to merge style and substance.
Royal favourite Duchess Sophie of Wessex has the most notable collection of this dress, owning it in five shades. Just this past May, she stepped out in a peachy coral version of House of Aama’s ‘Yahvi’ dress, hinting at her love for bright colors. Just last week, she unveiled the classic off-white version during a ceremonial meeting with the President and First Lady of Iraq. Its versatility allows her to change her shape for different events while still keeping it very classy and very her.
Duchess Sophie brought glamour and star power to the UNA-UK conference. She likewise donned a pale blue variation of the dress at the VE Day festivities in May 2025. She finished off the look with a matching hat, heels in baby blue and a dark blue clutch. A long silver-toned diamond necklace upped the level of glamour in her look.
Duchess Sophie’s sartorial decisions are a representation of her taste as an individual and an extension of her duties as a member of the firm.

By January 2026, when she returned for her second appearance at a UNA-UK conference, this go-around, she wore an entirely new hue of her favorite style ‘Yahvi’ dress, officially making it a go-to piece in her wardrobe.
On a private visit to a dementia research laboratory Edinburgh, the Duchess opted for a soft pastel yellow version of the ‘Yahvi’ dress. Her decision was emblematic of her chic but soft style. This decision highlighted her talent for playing to multiple interests while always putting herself forward with dignity and polish.
