It's not the first time the Countess of Wessex has turned heads with her enviable style. On Monday afternoon, the royal looked incredibly chic as she joined her husband, Prince Edward, at the very first autumn RHS Chelsea Flower Show, held at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
A formal dress code isn't required at the show, but generally, people tend to go smart, and Sophie was no exception. The royal loves a floral dress or two, but we were delighted to see her rock a fabulous new outfit, which consisted of white textured knitted midi dress by Victoria Beckham and matching wedges from Penelope Chilvers.
