The Duchess of Edinburgh looked radiant in a never-before-seen dress at Royal Ascot and it seems she chose the bright white hue of her look for a special reason.
Duchess Sophie, 59, was seen on Wednesday at the famous horse race event on the day of her silver wedding anniversary to Prince Edward. She wowed in a bridal white Suzannah London dress which featured a high neckline, sheer sleeves, and an ankle-grazing skirt.

The elegant long-sleeved dress featured a sheer overlayer which was covered in intricate white daisies which, though in a neutral hue, made a loud statement.

The floral adornments felt reminiscent of an unexpected star - Girls Aloud's Cheryl who rocked a similar mini dress to the 2009 Brit Awards.
