It's not the first time the Countess has worn the showstopping ensemble. Royal fans may remember the dress from 2018, when Sophie and Edward joined Latvian President Raimonds Vejonis and Latvia's First Lady Iveta Vejone for an evening dinner at Riga Castle in Latvia.

Fashion-conscious Sophie often recycles her favourite looks, opting to re-wear her best garments several times, often years apart from each other.

It's no secret the royal ladies have access to an unrivalled archive of clothes, jewellery and accessories, but it's always refreshing to see the likes of the Countess opting to support a more sustainable approach to fashion - plus, it just proves that Sophie's immaculate sense of style truly is timeless!
