Countess Sophie, 57, stepped out in a brown-charcoal checkered overcoat featuring a longline fit, a single-breasted silhouette and sleek lapels, which she paired with an ethereal fern green pleated skirt.
Countess Sophie wore her blonde hair down loose in a relaxed style and showcased a natural beauty blend. She looked radiant in her tonal outfit as she congratulated JCB on their fundraising efforts in aid of the NSPCC, of which she is a patron.
