The Countess of Wessex looked oh so chic on Thursday as she stepped out in a new dress from Max Mara during her royal visit to Northern Ireland.

Sophie was joined by her husband, Prince Edward, as they embarked on a busy day of engagements, including visiting South Lake Leisure Centre, Craigmore Trees, Elmfield Market and the Balmoral Show.

Sophie looked incredible for the occasion at Hillsborough Castle

The couple were guests of honour at Hillsborough Castle for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association's 50th Annual British Isle and Mediterranean Region Conference (BIMR).

Sophie's dress featured a polka dot print complete with puffed sleeves and a flattering flared hem. She paired it with black heels, looking as elegant as ever in the bold number.

The royal let her blonde hair sweep past her shoulders and sported a fresh glowing makeup look, finishing off the ensemble with a pair of statement jewelled earrings – simply stunning!
