The Duchess of Edinburgh marked a royal first on Monday, as she became the first royal to touch down in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion. 

Sophie, 59, travelled to the country to demonstrate solidarity with the women, men and children impacted by the war and in a continuation of her work to champion survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.

It comes as no surprise the Duchess reigned supreme in the style department for her poignant visit.

Dressing in a head-turning ensemble, the wife of Prince Edward chose to wear a cotton midi-dress from royally-loved brand, Etero. The bold number was emblazoned with a striking floral print and contrasting black panels. 

Featuring a collared neckline, a fitted waist and flared skirt that cascaded into a ruffled, tiered hemline, the dress is easily one of the boldest new additions to the Duchess of Edinburgh’s wardrobe in years.

How ‘rebellious’ royal Zara ditched fun fashion for a chic style makeover that surprised us all (though it’s not clear what her very practical mum, Princess

Zara Tindall is fast becoming one of the best dressed members of of the Royal Family, showing off an array of outfits from tailored dresses to fitted coats in trending hot pink hues. 

Where she used to dazzle us with eclectic mini frocks and fun fascinators over the years, she has now refined her style aesthetic towards chic and figure-flattering silhouettes.

Often known as the rebellious royal in the past, Zara still loves vibrant hues. But these days she loves clean lines, using accessories to add personality.

Neither her husband, Mike, nor her mother, the Princess Royal, has ever paid much attention to the whims of fashion but Zara is growing in confidence. 

Not that she’s trying to be a trendsetter. Rather, it seems she wants to concentrate on dressing beautifully.

Australian-born fashion stylist Annie Miall has been credited with helping Zara – notably in the choice of sharply cut, figure-skimming pieces  by designers such as Rebecca Vallance and Laura Green, who spent ten years at Princess Diana’s favourite brand, Catherine Walker.

Zara has definitely found her fashion formula.
