Duchess Sophie has stepped out for the state banquet at Buckingham Palace during the South Korea state visit, looking like a vision in a stylish white Suzannah dress.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, 58, arrived at the palace this evening wearing the most beautiful gown, which she accessorised with her favourite dazzling aquamarine tiara. Her gown, which she first wore to King Charles' coronation, was adorned with a blue sash and pendants. The item also featured a lacy neckline, making the royal resemble an elegant bride.
Accessories were key to Sophie's outfit. Although her shoes were obscured by the length of her dress, Sophie looked incredible with a pair of rings and sensational earrings.
Her hair and makeup was kept simple and elegant as usual. She wore her glossy blonde locks back ander makeup was natural and glowy.

The event tonight is part of a three-day-long South Korean state visit where the King and Queen have welcomed President Yoon Suk Yeol to London.
As part of Mr Yoon’s state visit, the UK and South Korea are due to launch talks on a new trade deal and sign a diplomatic accord. They will also announce £21 billion of investments by Korean businesses into green energy and infrastructure projects across the UK.
The Prince and Princess of Wales accompanied the president and his wife from their hotel to Whitehall. Princess Kate looked particularly beautiful in a regal red cape with a matching hat.
Duchess Sophie is no stranger to showing off her sartorial prowess, especially in moments of meaning. The royal paid tribute to the late Queen when she was spotted wearing her silver pendant with a special engraved message that reads: "The golden thread of courage has no end," a line which is special to the royals as it was taken from a poem read by the late Queen Elizabeth II during her 1981 Christmas address.

The Duchess was in good company in terms of royal style as she slipped out for an evening at Rochester Cathedral as other members of the royal family celebrated the King's private 75th birthday party at Clarence House last week.
Sophie wore the 'Larigne' wrap dress from royally-loved brand, Max Mara in black velvet with a pair of black tights and black pointed-toe heels.
