The Countess of Wessex always looks immaculate, and her Caribbean tour wardrobe is providing some of her most glamorous looks yet.

LOOK: The Countess of Wessex's new dress will have you doing a double take

The 57-year-old royal touched down in Antigua and Barbuda alongside her husband Prince Edward on Monday, sporting a stunning floral tea dress from Suzannah and elegant pointed-toe heels. The Countess' dress featured a flattering wrap bodice with shirred detailing, a feminine circle skirt and summery capped sleeves, peppered with dainty flowers in a pastel blue hue.

Sophie looked incredible in the elegant floral tea dress

Sophie wore the 'Heart Leaves' classic silk tea dress from Suzannah London, a designer she has worn several times before. The description reads that the pure silk, vintage-inspired dress was: "inspired by the leaves on a Gingko tree."

"Based on our best selling 1930's silk tea dress block, this signature style is beautifully flattering with unique charm and versatility. The print has been digitally printed onto Italian silk crepe de chine, by our expert silk mill in Como, Italy."
