The Duchess of Edinburgh was a picture of serene elegance on Wednesday evening when she stepped out for an evening at the theatre with her husband Prince Edward.
Duchess Sophie, 59, opted to wear a new Spanish design as she witnessed a special performance of Starlight Express in support of The Orpheus Centre at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre.

A second added: "The dress is so pretty and Sophie is representing classic British style. The look, paired with the sporty footwear, is a bit casual for a private tour by Dior officials."

The Duchess wore shirt dress by Max Mara and platformed espadrilles from Toms as she posed with the diplomat on the steps of L'hôtel De Charost.
