On September 26, 2024, The Duchess of Edinburgh attended the opening of the Domaine Evremond winery in Chilham, Kent. The Duchess also revealed a commemorative plaque, which was placed at the vineyard's entrance. The Domaine Evremond vineyard was founded in 2015 and marked the first time a major Champagne House invested in land in the United Kingdom with the ambition of producing top-quality sparkling wine. The Domaine Evremond's Classic Cuvée will be released for sale in spring 2025.

She is looking happy.

I want to like this suit but find the pants are just too wide for her height. Love the colour and the blouse, even the double breasted jacket. Perhaps if the jacket was open like on the model it wouldn’t bunch the pants.
ReplyDeleteTitally agree
DeleteFully agree with your comment. Make-up and hair are spot on here and gives the DoE a beautiful, sweet look.
DeleteAgree
DeleteI have to disagree. Double breasted jackets are meant to wear closed. They never look good worn open. It may work on the model, but only because she has one hand in the pocket and thus pulls one side back. This is only for posing. In real life - do not wear a double breasted blazer open.
DeleteTotally agree

I think the Duchess really looks good in this well fitted suit. Vince is an excellent classic designer. Nice soft color pallet. Please wear more pant suits.
ReplyDeleteShe looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteSophie looks beautiful here--perfect color palette (the soft, pale blue is gorgeous on her). She looks great in this trouser suit with a chic chignon. She also looks like she is really enjoying herself too!

Beautiful light coloured pantsuit !!
ReplyDeleteOh, she looks beautiful, love this pantsuit.
ReplyDeleteGreat suit in a colour quite good for S.
ReplyDeleteBelle allure dans ce tailleur-pantalon ; j'aime la couleur de ses boucles d'oreilles pendantes !
ReplyDeleteI like the jacket, but not the trousers. These are too wide, both for her and for the proportions of the suit. I remember this cut fromt the 80s and don´t necessarily need it to return. A straight cut would have been lots better. Also, I think this outfit needs some colour. The pale green blouse is a totally random choice and doesn´t match at all, the gray purse is lifeless. A crisp white blouse would have improved the overall look a lot, and a contrasting purse (wine red maybe?) would have elevated it further.
ReplyDeleteThe plaid in itself was a good choice for this kind of engagement as it has a country-vibe about it. Also, I agree that she does look happy and engaged, and touring a vineyard in glorious sunshine is a beautiful thing in itself.
You are right Vanessa. The trousers have not a good cut and are too short. A wine red blouse and handbag would have been the perfect color to open a vineyard and to give some contrast on the light grey pant suit. Like I said the other day, she is looking so much better with her hair loose. I don't like the little bun in her neck. It makes her look so much older.
Deleteshe should have worn on her official engagements aboard, for the vineyard her usual floral maxis would be more suitable
DeleteSummer is over. Her usual floral maxis are in her closet waiting until next Summer.
DeleteShe looks great in this suit. The blouse gives a little delicate pop of colour… very lovely. I like her hairstyle too. I find that her hair tied back suits her better than when it’s loose.

Le chemisier (bleu pâle ?) me plaît mais on le voit à peine. Ce costume est trop grand pour elle et trop masculin. Paloma.
ReplyDeleteThis makes her look huge, which she isn’t - there is the oversized look and then there is the ‘just too big’ look. To me this is the later. It just feels like it is too big and too baggy everywhere - and the oversized look (imo) only really works on younger women who are tall and lanky. I am a similar age, height and size to Sophie and I have worked out this look doesn’t work on me. LRB
ReplyDeleteThe DoE looks very nice, again.

The trousers are too bulking with the pleats which then make them too wide, shame. The colour toning's are so lovely on her. Yes I must agree she looks very happy of late. Who is that handsome man with her?
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely. I think the fashion trend now is to have wide leg pants. It might work for someone really tall and thin but not everyone can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteNice suit, though personal preference would be to bring in the width of the pants, and add a few darts in the jacket.
