Sophie, Countess of Wessex, is the type of a royal who is not-so-popular as the Cambridges or the Sussexes — yet, she draws much attention at public events. With age, the mother-of-two only improved her fashion choices, and we can’t deny how regal she looks at every royal occasion.

Prince Edward’s wife of 20 years has never had a stylist, who would dress her up to the nines, but she is deemed one of the most fashionable stars and even appeared in Vanity Fair’s international best-dressed list.

Sophie Wessex’s style

On Dec. 25, Prince Edward and his family joined the royal members at Christmas church service following long-dated tradition. While the boys looked dapper in their suits and coats, the Countess of Wessex and Lady Louise Windsor stole the spotlight.

The royal ladies matched each other at such a remarkable event, sporting creme-colored below-knee-length coats, a pair of beige shoes, and heabands. It seems like mother and daughter took a stylish top from Kate Middleton, who is known for wearing gorgeous headgear on various engagements.

In fact, Duchess Catherine’s hatbands are her signature look, and many royal women and royal fans have begun to opt for such an accessory. Kate made a debut of such an elevated headpiece at Prince Louis’ christening in July 2018, and since then, it became the most stylish part of her appearance.

Kate Middleton is Hat’s Person of a Year

Whether it is a Christmas church service, someone’s christening or birthday, or just a royal duty somewhere in spring or fall, Kate Middleton sports a hatband. Maybe, the 37-year-old tries to change her style into more queen-like fashion, but we must admit — she looks even more stunning in these headpieces.

Moreover, in 2012, Kate Middleton was named Hat’s Person of a Year, according to the Headwear Association! Thanks to online pall, the Duchess of Cambridge received 90 votes that made her the queen of hatbands. 2019 is no exception, actually!
