Sophie Wessex had a Marilyn Monroe
moment on Wednesday when a gust of wind blew her navy blue wrap dress up to her
waist.
The British royal was quick to hold the skirt back down, as she exited
her car and made her way into the JP Morgan building on Madison Avenue where
she was a guest at the 100 Women in Finance’s (100WF) Next Generation
Initiative.
Her navy blue wrap dress featured tan tie detailing, and she paired the
look with tan court heels and a clutch bag.
The event aims to inspire and support young women to look at
careers in finance and investment, and at the event, Sophie heard from
women in corporate leadership roles and learned more about their experience in
challenging gender-based stereotypes and bias in the workplace.
The Countess of Wessex also met those aspiring to join the global
finance industry at 100WF’s First Impressions event, during which she joined
roundtable discussions with attendees and senior women in the sector.
The Countess first attended a First Impressions event during a previous
visit to New York in 2019.

The royal looked incredible in an abstract print dress
Sophie has been wowing fans this week as
she made a stylish return to New York, arriving at the Queen Elizabeth II
Garden in Lower Manhattan in a slick cream coat and chic houndstooth scarf.
The 57-year-old royal looked stunning in a cream longline coat that
cascaded to her ankles. Featuring an oversized collar and double-breasted
button detailing, Sophie’s coat was the perfect outerwear for a crisp spring
day in the city.
Later that evening she was dressed to the nines to attend a UN
Commonwealth Day Reception at The Yale Club in New York, opting to wear an ethereal printed dress from
Victoria Beckham’s collection.

We loved Sophie’s stylish emerald green ensemble
The royal’s stunning dress featured flattering long sleeves and pleated
A-line skirt, a ruched waistline and daring abstract print.
On Tuesday she wore a striking emerald suit also by Victoria Beckham for
a series of engagements as she was involved in talks on women’s rights in
Afghanistan and the impact of the Ukrainian conflict on women and girls.
Sophie has always had an impeccable sense of style. With a penchant for
pastels, striking prints and timeless pieces, the royal rarely makes a fashion
faux pas.
