The Queen’s Platinum
Jubilee weekend may have passed, but the celebrations certainly aren’t
over for the Countess of Wessex, who continues the festivities in
Gibraltar during her royal tour with Prince Edward.
Sophie, 57, stepped out on
Thursday morning for the Queen’s Birthday Parade in Casemates Square in the
most stunning Emilia Wickstead dress. Complete with an elegant square
neckline, midi length, structured skirt and silhouette-enhancing drop
waistline, the Countess’ bold ‘Francis Organza’ dress is easily one of her
most memorable ensembles.
The royal’s sophisticated
frock featured an alluring equestrian print, which may have been a conscious
wardrobe choice for the Countess; a subtle nod to the Queen’s lifelong love of
horses.
Accessorizing to perfection,
the mother-of-two added a wide-brimmed monochrome hat adorned with curling
feathers.

Sophie was a vision of elegance in the monochrome ensemble
Sophie added a stunning pearl
drop necklace, delicate pearl bracelet and chic gold hoop earrings to complete
her fashionable array.
The royal swept her blonde
hair into a chic low bun, adding a lashing of mascara, glowy blush and soft
pink lip to complement her natural features.
Sophie’s stunning Emilia
Wickstead dress is the perfect wardrobe addition for a royal lady. Her exact
frock is a past-season find, so has sadly sold out.
If you’re looking to emulate
Sophie’s effortless glamour, we think this stallion print smock dress from
Karen Millen is a total head-turner.

Thursday marks the royal
couple’s final day in Gibraltar. Throughout their visit, Sophie and Edward
celebrated Her Majesty’s 70 years of service with the people of Gibraltar.
The Earl and Countess last
visited Gibraltar to mark Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
Their time in Gibraltar will also recognize its communities, culture and
history, as well as its links with the UK.
The visit is said to have a
particular focus on promoting opportunities for young people and education.
