The Duchess of Edinburgh has been styling up a storm during her trip to Japan, which concluded on Monday, but it is a certain look that flew under the radar until now that tops the lot. Duchess Sophie, 60, swapped her usual floral floaty dresses for ultimate workwear chic – and looked so youthful. The wife of Prince Edward, who was spotted attending a Women, Peace and Security Dinner and a meeting with Japanese stakeholders on 20 September, channeled business Barbie in a soft pink blazer.

The pastel number was the ‘Classic Staple Blazer in Blush’ by Theory, and she teamed the single-breasted number with the brand’s wide-leg trousers. Jazzing up the colour-blocked suit, Sophie added a printed blouse. The chiffon shirt complemented her autumnal shoes. Sophie dressed for the season, swapping her kitten heels and stilettos for a block heel in a rusty brown shade. The ‘Gamine’ pumps by Penelope Chilvers were an unexpected pick for this look, but they did take a pale suit from summer to autumn.
