Royal Dresses of the Day: June 13

Sophie may have more interesting gowns in her wardrobe, but the basic shape of this Bruce Oldfield dress is so flattering on her. And it's purple. (Okay, it looks periwinkle or maybe even a bit blue in other shots, but you color pedants are just going to have to give me this one.)

I was also opining yesterday that I'd be perfectly happy if Kate stuck to modern cuts in bold colors, and HELLO, this is what I'm talking about. The race for her Best of 2016 just got interesting.
