On August 7, 2024, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh attended a special performance of 'Starlight Express' held in support of The Orpheus Centre, a disability charity and college in Surrey for young disabled adults to learn and develop through the arts. The event took place at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre in London. The Duke is a patron of The Orpheus Centre.
MATELIER Gelato Dress
I really like this dress on the Duchess! However, the Duke looks unwell. Hope all is well with him.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! He looks very happy in my eyes
DeleteI´m not actually sure whether I like this or not.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
Delete@ Vanessa
DeleteBe sure and like this dress on the Duchess. It suits her an it is fashion. I wonder if she bought it in Paris.
Maybe the company has a boutique in Paris.
DeleteI think, MATELIER STUDIO is a Spanish fashion house. ??
This is what they say about the dress…….
“Very elegant midi dress made of printed viscose, with a new quality of silky-touch fabric, in cream and ochre tones.
The cut of the dress is loose, fitted at the chest and with a bias flare at the skirt.
It has maxi butterfly sleeves and a Perkins collar. The back is low-cut and closes with a bow. It can be worn inside out, with the peak in front and closed at the back” - Dress: 100%VI - Lining: 100% PL

DeleteHer earrings are from the Italian jewellery designer, Giulia Barela.
They are known as “Giulia Barela's Arizona earrings (£167).

p.s. please let us know dear Tulipe if you are going off on holiday. We will then know not to go searching for your learned comments. 😀
This is a pretty kaftan stye dress. I love the colour and the fabric print, and it suits Sophie very well because of her blonde hair, her tan/makeup, and that it is loose and flowing. She must be thrilled with the length too :) Only thing I'd have changed is her hand bag. A small gold clutch would have completed the look perfectly.

Sophie looks like a cleaning lady in that awful dress!

DeleteObviously you don't know what is fashion. One of the few times Duchess Sophie is wearing something that is fashionable and new. The cleaning lady is wearing what Sophie wears usually : shirt dresses !
Lol what country do you live in, curious to ser the cleaning ladies?
DeleteHello Anon 14:44
DeleteAny chance we could show some respect for cleaning ladies?
@deadeggs
DeleteThank you Dear.
Finally somebody who is not only reproducing thoughts.
;-))
@ deadeggs
DeleteAny chance we could show some respect for the Duchess instead of comparing her dress with the one cleaning ladies wear. I've never seen a cleaning lady with a dress like that.
Gorgeous dress and the Duchess wears it well. MR
ReplyDeleteSuperbes tous les deux mais peut-être que le duc aurait pu choisir une cravate de couleur unie comme du crème ; son épouse Sophie est vêtue d'une robe qui lui sied à merveille ; les chaussures trop cachées sont-elles à l'unisson ? J'adore ses boucles d'oreilles qu'elle a très bien choisies !
ReplyDeleteHmm. On the one hand, it is lovely but, on the other hand it seems like something you'd throw on while at home receiving guest for a Tupperware party back in the 1970s.
ReplyDeleteMy mum had Tupperware parties in the 1970's and she never dressed like that.
DeleteTo wear a dress like that to a Tupperware party would be quite posh and probably only by written invitation with a RSVP and details for your chauffeur to park the car.
On the upside, the next time there's a special function in Jordan they need to attend she's set. This dress is perfect in terms of being respectfully dressed for that culture. All she has do is throw on a tiara and a sash.
ReplyDeleteSo many negative reactions for the first time Duchess Sophie is wearing a fashionable evening dress. It is up-to-date, it suits her and is finally something different than her so predictable outfits. Other royal ladies have worn already this type of dresses on different occasions and they received a mix of good and bad comments too.
ReplyDeleteLots of negative comments on this site and others about Duchess Sophie’s choice of dress.
DeleteFor the occasion, IMO, she has made a good choice.
If you look at her workload at the moment she wouldn’t have much time for pondering over fashion mags, fashion shows, trends etc.
And in her kindness, she’s given the skirt length police a day off so that they can take a look at the Olympic Games.
You know, in amongst the negatives you can always find a positive. 😁
This dress reminds me of something Princess Margaret would have worn in the 1970’s. It’s not my favorite for Sophie.

Think this is a great choice for Duchess Sophie. It looks fluid and comfortable, and the rich colour really suits her. Very different from her usual look but think it's a great choice.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern of this dress is OK. The dress has no shape, it just hangs on her. css
ReplyDeleteThe Duke must have been proud of his Duchess! FITZHUGH
ReplyDeleteDuchess Sophie looks great. Love the dress!
ReplyDeleteJ'adore la forme des manches. Le tissu léger et fluide doit être très agréable à porter. J'aime moins la couleur, je l'aimerais sûrement mieux dans un autre coloris, un bleu pastel peut-être ou un mauve-rose. C'est le style qu'on appelait "robe d'hôtesse" dans les années 70. Paloma.

ReplyDeleteJe vous remercie pour les précisions que vous avez apportées -- Pour répondre à votre question, il s'avère que je ne prends pas de vacances et je pourrai donc
continuer de trouver des commentaires à votre satisfaction !
I don't mind this dress, but the pattern on the fabric is too much. Regardless she looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is beautiful, the couple handsome/lovely to see.
