Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, recently took a trip to New York, where one of her stops included a visit to the JP Morgan building on Madison Avenue for the 100 Women in Finance’s (100WF) Next Generation Initiative. However, as the countess made her way into the building, a giant gust of wind almost caused a major wardrobe malfunction, but luckily, the royal had her hand at the ready, holding her skirt down as the breeze blew it up.
A video of the near-malfunction can be seen here, courtesy of Hello! magazine. In the clip, the countess sports a navy blue wrap dress that attaches at one side with long, brown leather straps. To match the leather detailing, Countess Sophie opted for caramel-colored stiletto heels and a light brown clutch.
But while the royal had a good save, there's a certain trick used by Kate Middleton that we think would've come in handy.
