The Duchess of Edinburgh pulled an elegant ensemble from her wardrobe on Wednesday evening when she headed out for a quiet date night with her husband Prince Edward.
Duchess Sophie, 59, was seen at the Edinburgh International Festival where she looked lovely in an off-white jersey dress with a high neck and three-quarter-length sleeves.
To add a touch of pizzazz to her look, and to create structure, Sophie wore an oversized metallic belt to nip in her waist. Over her shoulders, the royal slung the 'Albero Double-Breasted Wool-Blend Blazer in Ultramarine' from Max Mara and she carried the 'Vintage Indigo Bag' from Matelier
Rounding off the mother of two's look were the dainty 'Rocking' earrings from Giulia Barela which peaked out from her undone updo.

The Duchess loves to dress up her outfits with a chic blazer. In June, Sophie attended The Royal British Legion's 80th Anniversary of D-Day Service of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum where she opted for a cropped white number with gold buttons and a chic collar from Prada.

A touch of structure was added to Sophie's outfit for a visit to the National Cycling Centre in February when she opted for a double-breasted navy style from Alexander McQueen with smart trousers, heeled Prada boots, and a striped knit from Frame.
Sophie's penchant for a belted look

The Duchess also has added structure to her silhouette with a belt on many occasions. Last July she wore a subtle built-in belt for a performance of 'Orb and Sceptre' at Horse Guards Parade.
The Emilia Wickstead dress featured a blue and white floral print with a collar, long sleeves, and a collar.
