Duchess Sophie Takes on Spring’s Powder Pink Trend as She Highlights a Groundbreaking Exhibition

The Duchess of Edinburgh wore a pale pink maxi dress by Gabriela Hearst to visit the Imperial War Museum’s Unsilenced: Sexual Violence in Conflict exhibit—the first of its kind in the U.K. The soft, feminine color was especially poignant for the duchess’s outing as she learned more about the history of sexual violence against women from World War I through the present.
She paired the three-quarter sleeve shirt dress with an extra punch of powder pink in the form of two Monica Vinader rose quartz stacking rings, adding a $5,250 Asprey oak leaf bracelet. And while she’s worn her powder pink dress once before, in 2023, her shoes have seen much more royal action. The Duchess of Edinburgh traded the espadrille wedges she wore earlier this week for a pair of nude Jimmy Choo pumps she’s worn more than 25 times in the past two years.

Duchess Sophie has proven to be the Royal Family’s secret weapon, stepping up to take on a greater workload of duties after her beloved mother-in-law Queen Elizabeth’s death. Her work spreading awareness about the use of sexual violence in conflict has become a cause close to her heart—but one that she’d rather not have to highlight.
“It’s a privilege,” she said at the museum, adding, “If we could all do ourselves out of a job…it would be great.”
