Duchess Sophie wows fans in £1,300 designer dress – buy similar under £119 at Phase Eight | Royal | News
Duchess Sophie sparked a royal frenzy after stepping out in an elegant and flattering look today. Both Sophie and her husband Prince Edward are currently on a tour of Nepal.
The 60-year-old beamed from ear to ear as focused on her key causes in Kathmandu. Engagements highlighted maternal care, supporting victims of sexual violence and championing women’s rights.
The mother-of-two headed to Bhaktapur Hospital’s maternity wing first, where she visited mothers and their newborns. She cooed over the infants and told one new mother: “I want to hold them all.”
Following this she proceeded to meet with patients and doctors of Kirtipur Eye Hospital in Kirtipur. For the occasions, Sophie wore a stunning floral print dress by Etro, which cost a whopping £1,300.
This was paired with a clutch from Sophie Habsburg Minuit Clutch in fuchsia satin and pumps from Jimmy Choo. If you want to recreate her look on a budget then take a look at our top alternative looks.
The Sandra Floral Maxi Dress by Phase Eight is timeless and this versatile staple can be worn year after year.
It is a perfect transitional floral dress that can be worn from day to night. It is designed on a darker base and features “watercolour-inspired florals” on an effortless silhouette.

You can buy it here for £119 after it was reduced from £139 – it also comes in a regular and petite fit.
Customers raved about this design with one sharing: “The length is perfect for me, about 3 inches from the floor. The fit is lovely and the fabric floaty, just right for an early spring wedding.”
Royal onlookers praised Sophie over the outfit and wrote on X: “This is how florals should be worn, I love everything about this dress.” While another agreed: “The florals look gorgeous.”
