Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh stepped out in London as the Patron of the OSCAR Foundation for their first ever ball on Tuesday.
The OSCAR Foundation is a non-profit organisation that uses football to encourage education in India, of which Sophie is the Royal Patron.
For this event, Sophie looked incredible in a gown she has not worn since 2013 – her Emilio Pucci Lace Overlay One Shoulder Gown.
Described as a “one-shoulder gown with lace overlay in boysenberry”, the Duchess wore this gown twice in 2013 but not in the last 10 years.
To accessorise, Sophie carried a Sophie Habsburg “Amber” clutch in gold, which has not been seen by royal fans before.

Although no longer available on the Sophie Habsburg website, the Duchess of Edinburgh has not carried this clutch bag in the past, meaning it is likely a new purchase.
Sophie also wore a pair of Swarovski and Paul Andrew Crystal Drop Earrings, which retail for $175, or roughly £141.
Their description says: “These Atelier Swarovski earrings are designed by Paul Andrew and are set with crystals.
“The earrings measure 2.65 inches in length and three inches in width and each weighs 12.5 grams, for a total weight of 25 grams. Offered in brand new condition, this pair of earrings includes the manufacturer’s box.”
Perhaps the most interesting part of Sophie’s outfit was that she wore seven bangles from the same brand worth a collective £906 to the ball on Tuesday.
The Duchess wore seven bangles from Halcyon Days, which currently holds three Royal Warrants for goods supplied to the royal households.
Six of these bangles were repeats, however, Sophie did wear a new Gold Buttercup Salamander Snake Torque bangle which retails for £150.
Its description reads: “Our ever-popular Salamander Torque bangle is amphibian-inspired and crafted from 18ct gold plated brass.
“This sleek accessory is fitted with vibrant buttercup coloured glass cabochons at either end and lends itself beautifully both to stacking with other styles or wearing solo.”
In addition, Sophie wore her Hammered Torque Amethyst and Gold Bangle which costs £125 and her Hammered Torque Pearl and Gold Bangle, which also cost £125.
The Duchess then opted for her £128 Halcyon Days Maya Torque Bracelet in Ruby, which she first wore in November last year and her £110 Halcyon Days Maya Torque Bracelet in Diamond, which she debuted in April 2022.
Finally, Sophie wore her £128 Halcyon Days Maya Torque Bangle in Emerald, which she has worn since 2020, and her £140 Halcyon Days Gold Plated Maya Torque Bangle in Pearl, which she debuted in 2019.
