Duchess Sophie has done it again.

First, the 59-year-old royal gave us the summer staple piece we needed after she stepped out wearing a baby blue sleeveless shirt dress with heels to match during the Royal Windsor Cup Final last week. And now, the Duchess of Edinburgh is having another baby blue moment with the latest gorgeous ensemble she wore to the Sovereign’s Garden Party on July 2 (we found a similar look from Ann Taylor for only $74).

Duchess Sophie and her husband, Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, were also joined by King Charles and Queen Camilla, who welcomed around 8,000 Scots to the gardens of Holyroodhouse in Scotland. 

For the festive occasion, the Duchess of Edinburgh rocked a beautiful Roland Mouret baby blue, short-sleeve maxi dress. With her hair pinned in an elegant updo, the mother of two donned a brimmed feather hat that matched her dress perfectly. She paired the effortless ensemble with a pair of diamond earrings and a silver pendant necklace.
