Sophie Wessex dons £735 ‘glamorous’ dress in Caribbean – but fans claim shoes are ‘tacky’

However, many fans were not impressed with the shoes, with @dianaspencercollector72 saying: “No not those tacky shoes again. Dress is lovely.”

In addition, @our.royal.tea wrote: “That dress! Love Zimmermann. As others have noted I’d prefer this with an espadrille wedge, but overall this is lovely.” @midastouch95 said: “Shoes are hideous. “Dress is nice.”

@luxmeagainpreloved added: “This dress is well suited for the occasion. I think one of her espadrilles would have worked well with this dress but maybe she wanted a more formal shoe.”

@birdnerd327 commented: “What a lovely dress ruined by bleh shoes.” @mog1717 wrote: “From this angle this is a no for me… it’s very a Princess Margaret in her kaftan period.”
