The Earl and Countess of Wessex are making a visit to the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Bahamas in support of the organizations of which they are patron. On the second day of their visit, the Countess visited Blue Haven Marina and received information about the efforts aiming to protect the indigenous wildlife and barrier reef.
The Countess then attended TCI Women’s Leadership and Empowerment event. The event was attended by representatives from the public and private sector. During the event, a youth mentoring scheme – known as the ‘Wessex Scheme’ – was launched, which involves a commitment of community and business leaders to mentor young women.
The Earl and Countess then travelled to the Bahamas, where they attended Governor General’s Youth Awards (GGYA) Gold Award Ceremony. The GGYA is The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award’s name in the Bahamas, which has been awarded on the Islands since 1987. The Earl is Chair of the Board of Trusteess of the International Award.
Both dresses are lovely, and aside from the too dark handbag with the second (Erdem) dress, C. Sophie has made some good choices here. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteAgree. e.
DeleteEn regardant mieux, c'est la robe imprimée Erdem qui a ma préférence mais au niveau du sac à mains, j'aurais opté pour de la toile plus rafraîchissante !
ReplyDeleteI like the first two outfits very much. Sophie looks great in the top and trousers and the Erdem dress fits and suits her so well. Those colours in both outfits look good on her
ReplyDeleteYou too must have seen fashion weeks. She is up to date with a linen like cotton and floral pattern which we'll (those of us paying attn) see a LOT of this season. Picking a pocketbook (hobo....again, another popular style this year) to match the flowers and ribbons in her shoes) she's the best at dressing down to suit the occasion and looking like she's dressed it up.

ReplyDeleteShe's amazing at knowing what suits her and is passing that to Louise.

ReplyDeleteThe McQueen dress needs a brightly coloured accessory to highlight it; nothing big and nothing ON the dress itself, but possibly something like a necklace, a small clutch, or shoes (not the beige ones she's wearing).
Edwards clothes are perpetually loose and baggy. If only they were properly tailored and fitted to his slim build, and were slightly shorter in length (jackets, blazers and trousers) taking a hint from Daniel and Frederik (but not as tight as they sometimes wear their clothes), he would look so much smarter. Wasted potential.

I don't like any of the 2 dresses. In fact I've never liked Erdem dresses. It looks like there is always something wrong or with the color/print or with the shape or both. The A. McQueen dress looks like a very simple white cotton dress, a pity the waistline is too high. For a brand like that I'd expected more interesting details.
ReplyDeleteCountess Sophie looks good and comfortable in her casual wear. The white dress is very good and fits well while the Erdem dress is ugly. Blah colours, a bit tight around the midriff and sloppy sleeves.

DeleteBoth of the dresses are nice and well fitting. I would not want this Lizard are a house Pet. Looking at it from the distance is OK, css
ReplyDeleteSophie ose regarder des iguanes, un adulte et un petit ; même dans un environnement domestique, je ne m'y oserais pas !
DeleteThe Countess looks lovely and excited to be in the Caribbean. Her day dresses are absolutely amazing on her. Hope they enjoy the sweet sunshine!🌞
ReplyDeleteShe looks fantastic in her casual outfit. The dresses both are meh, though I must say that they look better on her than on the models.
ReplyDeleteI like this Erdem dress which is smart with the white sandals. Difficult to judge the white dress from the photos. Looks like there’s a lot of fabric in the skirt of it. Might be okay with the pale heeled shoes. Ounces Sophie herself looks lovely as always.

ReplyDeleteI love both her day dresses, lovely. The white dress is very pretty. This has been a wonderful tour. Someone has already commented on Prince Edwards baggy clothing. It is noticeable. Maybe he has lost some weight and the tailoring required has not been done, who knows why? time factors etc.... I'm sure when he gets around to it all will be fine.
ReplyDeleteDoes she need Alexander McQueen to get her this white dress? …it’s very basic, perhaps special fabric but nothing extraordinary …
ReplyDeleteFair play to Sophie, a very down to earth lady, she focuses on her mission, not a show off of her wardrobe during her trip.
