The Countess of Wessex has revealed Angelina Jolie is one of her fashion icons – along with Queen Rania of Jordan.
Sophie chatted about her fashion inspirations during an online ceremony where she presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design to Priya Ahluwalia on Tuesday 23 February.
The 56-year-old, who is married to the Queen’s youngest son Prince Edward, said her own style was developing and revealed she looked to a royal abroad for inspiration.
When asked whose style she admired, the countess said: “I think Angelina Jolie always looks amazing and Queen Rania of Jordan always looks stunning.”
Answering the same question, The Telegraph reported Ahluwalia said: “I always love the Queen’s fashion, she is a fashion icon.”
Asked about her own style, Sophie said: “It’s developed over time, I think it’s probably reasonably classic, but I like things with a bit of a twist.”

Sophie wore a £595 Victoria, Victoria Beckham dress for the event, which featured cabaret dancers in an abstract scribble print.
The countess’s confession came as she spoke to Ahluwalia and the British Fashion Council’s chief executive Caroline Rush in a Zoom webinar after presenting the award to the winner.
The Queen Elizabeth II award was set up in 2018 and it has become tradition for a senior royal woman to attend to give the award to its winner. Last year the event was attended by Princess Anne.
In the last year, Sophie has seen an increase in her public facing engagements, carrying out more and more high profile royal work.
During the webinar, Sophie said: “On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I am honoured to announce the 2021 winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design to Priya Ahluwalia for Ahluwalia.
“Congratulations, it’s so exciting.”
