The Duchess of Edinburgh was a picture of elegance on Friday as she stepped out alongside her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, to attend a performance of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2025 at Edinburgh Castle.
Duchess Sophie, 60, was seen wearing the ‘Bamboo Amoeba Dress’ by Spanish fashion label, Matelier Design. The frilly chiffon number featured a red and black print, capped sleeves, and a high neck.
It teamed perfectly with her ‘Black Lunatic Caviar Clutch’ by Sophie Habsburg. Meanwhile, and debuted a new pair of Penelope Chilvers heels, the Gamine 75′ style, featuring bejwelled bows on the toe.
She tied the look together by hanging a black blazer over her shoulders and tying her sandy blonde hair back into a low bun.
Sophie, who attended alongside her husband in his role of Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, earned the praise of celebrity fashion stylist, Oriona Robb, for her latest outfit choice.

“At Edinburgh Castle, Duchess Sophie’s look felt perfectly attuned to the spirit of the Tattoo. The long printed dress brought warmth and movement, avoiding stiffness while still looking polished,” Oriona tells us.
“Layering it with the deep green velvet jacket added richness and formality, a quiet echo of the military regalia and the grandeur of the setting. The velvet also gave her outfit evening weight, ideal for an outdoor performance.”
Oriona adds: “By choosing practical block-heeled shoes and a simple clutch, she kept the silhouette clean and steady on the cobbled ground. The result was a blend of ceremony and ease regal without being ostentatious, respectful yet relaxed enough to share in the atmosphere of music, tradition, and spectacle.”
