Duchess Sophie was the picture of elegance on Tuesday as she stepped out for a solo visit to La Galerie Dior in Paris.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, was spotted wearing a gorgeous white floral dress having enjoyed a day at the Olympics earlier this week.
Sophie rocked the 'Floral-Print Chiffon Midi Dress' by Victoria Beckham with a V-shaped neckline and floaty short sleeves. The waist-accentuating number was teamed with heeled wedges by Penelope Chilvers and a pair of gold drop earrings by Giulia Barela.
