Lady Frederick Windsor in the Giorgio Armani Privé cocktail dress in navy blue silk cady, worn with a short coat in silk jacquard fabric with a glossy/opaque checkerboard pattern, and a Phillip Treacy hat
The navy-blue silk dress fitted like a dream, as did the co-ordinating coat, in a gloss/opaque chequerboard silk jacquard, fastened with a diamanté buckle and bow.
The ensemble was a bespoke order from the couturier, Giorgio Armani's Privé collection, made specially for Sophie Windsor, the wife of Lord Frederick of Windsor, for the Royal Wedding.
After two fittings in Los Angeles, where she and her husband have lived since their wedding in 2009, Sophie arrived in London for the final 'try-on' in the milliner, Philip Treacy's atelier in Battersea on Thursday afternoon, less than twenty-four hours before joining the other 1,900 guests at Westminster Abbey.
The hat, called 'The Stealth', a shallow navy oval, with flyaway bows, was the perfect finishing touch.
The only thing left to decide on, was the hair.
