Duchess Sophie's Zambia Style: Bold Colors Shine
16 Sep
Summary
- Duchess Sophie visited Zambia in a vibrant lime green dress.
- She paired the silk dress with a contrasting purple sash.
- Sophie's luggage was delayed, affecting her initial outfits.

Duchess Sophie is currently undertaking a five-day visit to Zambia, during which her fashionable choices have drawn attention. Recently, at the Orbis Eye Health reception in Lusaka, she wore a cherished lime green silk midi dress from Amanda Ross x Soler London. The 'Brooke' dress, made of satin, featured a V-neckline and was accented with a deep purple sash for a bold colour-block effect.
Sophie complemented her outfit with delicate gold jewelry and Penelope Chilvers 'Dali' Mary Jane espadrilles. This use of vibrant citrus tones is a departure from the typically more neutral wardrobes of other royal women. The Duchess had previously worn this ensemble in 2024, pairing it with a metallic belt on a different occasion.
Compounding Sophie's engagements, a luggage delay meant she initially wore her 'aeroplane clothes' for her first public appearance. This incident did not, however, diminish her evident enthusiasm during the event.
