Black-and-White Photo of Duchess Sophie Alone at Vineyard Is So Stunning I Almost Missed Her Surprising Nail Choice

Keep it up, Sophie

When it comes to monochrome fashion, Duchess Sophie doesn’t miss a beat—even if she must change her nail color to match her outfit. 

Last week, the Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, attended the opening of the Domaine Evremond Winery in Canterbury, England. While there, photographers captured a stunning black-and-white photo of the royal standing alone in the vineyard.

Duchess Sophie strayed away from her typical dress and blazer wardrobe and opted for a modern pantsuit that complemented her figure. She wore a plaid double-breasted blazer by luxury brand Vince and paired it with coordinating wide-leg trousers that were an ideal mix of cool and casual. 

I was so distracted by how regal she looked, I almost missed that her nails matched her outfit and accessories. The royal opted for a gray color, which abided by the royal family’s rule about no bright nail polish.

Duchess Sophie accessorized with the Ixia 80 pumps by Jimmy Choo ($975), the Minuit clutch by Sophie Habsburg ($316), the Mini Swank Bracelet by Roxanne Assoulin (from $120) and the Corda Fine Chain Friendship Bracelet by Monica Vinader ($160).

She completed her look with a necklace that holds a special meaning because she previously wore it back in 1999 during her engagement photocall with Prince Edward.

Gray nails for fall? Groundbreaking.
