    The Duchess looks fabulous! Great choices from hair style to dress and shoes. Sophie appears to have great social skills. MR

      This is quite a long tour/visit for Duchess Sophie.
      I’m sure that the Duchess and her wardrobe team have been well informed on weather conditions for this time of the year in Tanzania.
      Tanzania is just south of the equator and has a moderate tropical climate.
      The country enjoys cooling breezes from the Indian Ocean.
      The Duchess is visiting at the end of the dry season which usually finishes in October.
      I imagine there'll be light and colourful fabrics. I’m anxious to see.

      Nice dress, great hair. As usual, the unflattering length spoils the overall look. Doesn’t prevent her being a star!

      Agree and agree with An of 01:18 - the length is the only thing which slightly spoils the look.

    She is a very hard working member of the Royal Family, and seems to have a lovely friendly manner with all the people she meets..... No doubt about that!!.. However I do wish she had a stylist that would pull her look together, to tweak her hair, shoes and dress to make it all work together.

    She is truly King Charles's "Secret weapon" and that is a compliment to behold!

      Thought King Charles secret weapon is Camilla.

      Camilla is amazing at her role. I still marvel at someone taking on a very public royal role so late in life, and with such energy and kindness. Sophie is lovely too, a hard worker, and has had so much more time than Camilla to grow into her role; which she appears to do beautifully. - Grace

    Normally I like Giambattista Valli's design, but this dress it looks like he designed it specially for Duchess Sophie. Shirt dress which is worn too long as usual.

      Anon 10:55. Duchess Sophie's dress seems a bit "tame" to be one of his designs.
      Looking at his work, he seems to be quite heavy with his prices.

    Elégante robe chemise mais à mon humble avis, avec quelques centimètres en moins Sophie aurait encore plus d'allure !

      Hello Achard62. (chère Tulipe)
      I have come to the conclusion that the length of the skirt/dresses of Duchess Sophie is British fashion for women of a certain standing.
      See photos of the royal ladies and others at Liechtenstein's National Day 2024.

      A few years ago, Queen Mathilde and Princess Caroline wore the same dress by this designer. They look both beautiful in the dress. It looked a bit like the botanical dresses, but the cut was different than the botanical dresses in his collection of 2024.

    Sophie looks marvelous in this dress--her whole outfit is wonderful. She's also looking lovely--hair and makeup are perfect. So glad to see her out and about after her summer break.
