The Duchess of Edinburgh stunned in an effortlessly chic look as she visited St. Anne's Parish Hall for the W.I Christmas celebrations last week.

The royal is no stranger to recycling her favourite garments, with the Gala Stretch-Twill Blazer from Helmut Lang being a capsule item in her wardrobe. The sophisticated black number featured structured shoulder pads and a deep neckline with a one-button closure. Sophie layered the blazer over a simple black roll-neck top.
The modern blazer was unusually paired with a Navy Lotus Flower skirt by Spanish label Matelier. The black skirt, which was cut elegantly on the ankle, was adorned with a stunning multi-coloured paisley pattern giving it a retro-chic look.

The 59-year-old royal paired the bold dress with a pristine white blazer jacket embroidered with lace detail and a pair of camel suede boots with a chunky heel.

However, Sophie deviated her fashion essentials on Wednesday evening when she attended a Christmas party to celebrate a charity's record-breaking achievement. The Duchess amped up the glamour in an elegant midi dress by Burberry for the occasion which was held at The Foundling Museum in West London. The garment was embroidered with intricate purple stitching.
Sophie paired her look with a purple snakeskin clutch bag, pointed-toe black kitten heels, and a pair of golden drop earrings. Her ashy blonde locks were swept back in a low bun fastened with a velvet black scrunchie.

Sophie donned the Wessex Aquamarine Necklace Tiara which is frosted with shimmering aquamarine diamonds.
