Duchess Sophie’s stylish outfit is straight from Kate’s style book | Royal | News

Her look was completed by a sleek pair of Gianvito Rossi Foster 45 ankle boots in a trendy greige shade.

Royal fans were quick to praise Sophie’s look and flocked to Instagram. “HRH looking very stylish,” one wrote. 

While another gushed, “HRH looks autumn-ready!”. A third chimed in and admired how the warm brown tones complemented her blonde hair and sun-kissed complexion: “Love her suit with her blonde hair and tan.”

With her mix of investment pieces and effortless polish, Sophie’s look showed exactly why her style resonates with royal watchers.

Timeless yet quietly on-trend, with a nod to the brands she genuinely loves, and a subtle reminder of the heritage names that have shaped Princess Kate’s own wardrobe too.

It comes as no surprise that Sophie carved out time in her busy schedule to pop into the boutique and with meet with Penelope Chilvers herself. The heritage brand is one of her favourites, with its classic boots and wedge espadrilles serving as a staple in her off-duty wardrobe. 

Over the years we have seen her rock their tassel boots at the Royal Windsor Horse Show to cork wedges on summer walkabouts. 

Princess Kate has been just as loyal, first stepping out in Chilvers’s knee-high leather boots during her university days at St Andrews and still relying on them for country weekends, polo matches and Norfolk engagements nearly two decades later.

Both women also reach for other heritage heavyweights: Sophie in Barbour quilted jackets and bespoke Emilia Wickstead tailoring for public engagements. 

And Kate in her long-standing favourites from Alexander McQueen, Burberry and Self-Portrait silhouettes. 

 Together they’ve cemented British heritage labels as the backbone of modern royal dressing, blending classic craftsmanship with a fresher, contemporary feel.
