The pair first started dating in 1987,and Sophie was working at Capitol Radio in London.
In fact, Sophie didn’t find her personal aesthetic until much later in their relationship.
In 1993, they reconnected and quickly became Britain’s new favorite couple.
Her hair was worn in a short style, giving her a tomboyish appearance.
She was still largely out of the public eye, but that would change over the next few years.
Sophie opted to wear a little black dress to the event.
The dress was reminiscent of the time as it was sleeveless and featured both a boatneck and drop waist.
Sophie kept it modest, though, with the hem just above the knee and semi-sheer pantyhose beneath.
As for jewelry, she went minimalist with chunky gold hoops.
It was a simple look, but one that matched nicely with Edward’s sharp black tuxedo.
Her fresh-faced makeup looked stunning, giving her a youthful glow.
It was the first time the family had gathered at the Abbey since Diana’s funeral some months prior.
Sophie wasn’t officially part of the family yet, but she had become a staple at royal events.
She topped off the earthy look with a tall brown hat and pearl jewelry.
This was aninterestingoutfit, to say the least, but this wasn’t Sophie’s best era.
After all, if royal ladies love anything, it’s a good hat!
And unlike Edward’s siblings, the pair continued to remain happily married.
First, their daughter, Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, was born in 2003.
Unlike other members of royalty, Sophie seems to prefer basic jewels over big diamonds.
This look certainly harks back to her ’90s fashion.
However, by the 2010s, there was a noticeable shift in Sophie’s style.
But the cherry on top was arguably her patriotic choice of purse.
The clutch bag featured a Union Jack pattern, which was more than fitting for the event.
This bright white outfit was a taste of what was to come.
As for her outfit, though, Sophie donned a stunning bright red-orange form-fitting dress.
Sophie paired the daring dress with a nude pump by Gianvito Rossi.
Of course, one can’t attend a royal wedding ceremony without a particularly delightful hat.
In this case, Sophie opted for a Jane Taylor feathered fascinator that pulled the entire ensemble together elegantly.
Her purse, a simple grey clutch, provided a pop of color.
However, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, donned a different holiday color palette in 2021.
The small Christmas hat headpiece she wore really said “ho, ho, ho.”
It made sense that Sophie opted to be practically stylish instead of overtly glamorous.
Compared to Sophie’s previous event outfits, this bold color-blocking aesthetic pushed the envelope while still being appropriate.
Long may Sophie’s kaleidoscope of color continue!
They lost their matriarch, their driving force, a mother, grandmother, and friend.
Sophie, though now a dedicated fan of colorful looks, stuck to royal protocol by wearing all black.
The fitted coat dress was still incredibly beautiful while remaining respectful.
By designer Suzannah London, the outfit was embroidered with an elegant floral pattern, giving it some depth.
Perhaps this was her way of honoring the monarch, who often wore brooches.
The duchess finished off her look with high-street designer L.K.
Bennett pumps paired with sheer black tights.
The Duchess of Edinburgh arrives
She started out as a PR girl, living life in London.
In 2022, after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, arrived.
While her style has been steadily elevating over the past decade, Sophie isn’t done blossoming.
The duchess wore the striking outfit to an event at the Horse Guards Parade in July 2023.
The shirt style, pulled in at the waist by a matching belt, suited Sophie perfectly.
If there ever was a full-circle moment, this is it.
Sophie accessorized with a navy blue clutch, blue flower earrings, and a pink manicure.
