On Monday afternoon, the Countess of Wessex joined husband Prince Edward on a visit to Utopia Costumes, Forfar, in Scotland. Edward looked dashing in a tartan kilt, and his wife Sophie looked typically chic in one of her favourite looks, a floral dress, which she teamed with high heels, a smart blazer and carried a blue clutch bag.

The mother-of-two's dress was emblazoned with a bold floral print in pink and yellow and we think you'll agree, it was a truly eye-catching look. She added a pair of her favourite high heels by Penelope Chilvers and carried a blue clutch bag.

Royal ladies love to wear pretty petal patterns, particularly in the summer. There's nothing like a few blooms to raise our mood! It's not just Sophie, the Duchess of Cambridge often steps out in fancy florals and the likes of Queen Letizia and Princess Beatrice and Eugenie are also huge fans of the natural print. Even the Queen has been known to don a floral pattern on occasions.

Seeing Sophie in this new outfit reminds us that the 56-year-old has always been a total fashionista. In 2018, she even hosted an event at Buckingham Palace, which celebrated 10 years of the London College of Fashion's Better Lives project.
