Duchess Sophie Stuns in Black & White Florals—and It’s the Perfect Spring Occasion Wear

Sophie’s look is called the Violetta draped gathered crepe midi dress and it’s just the kind of dress you could see yourself wearing to a daytime event like a baby shower or brunch. As displayed by the duchess, this is a style that is both sophisticated and fun—yes, it’s black and white, but the floral variety as it’s laid out help the dress make a statement but one that doesn’t overwhelm.

In the case of Sophie, we also love her choice to add a clutch (like the green “moneypenny” design she carried from designer Sophie Habsburg) in a color that pops. It adds to the playfulness of the overall look. (Bonus points if the occasion you wear the dress to requires a hat.)

We pulled a couple of similar styles that will allow you to accomplish a similar spring aesthetic. Still, let’s give credit to Duchess Sophie, who keeps upping the ante when it comes to dressing impeccably. (Don’t even get us started on her stunning pink gingham suit, worn earlier this week.)
