The icing on the cake, however, was Sofia's sophisticated Valentino dress that effortlessly balanced elegance and comfort - perfect for the postpartum period.
Proving she's the ultimate cool mom, she wore the 'Cotton Guipure Jardin Plat' loose-fitting maxi dress by the Italian label.
The soft, mauve colourway and garden-themed embroidery adorning the piece made it picture-perfect for her outdoor shower, whilst the gold 'V' symbol underneath the neckline provided an added touch of luxury.

"Just in time for the sizzling hot summer days, there’s an old-school wardrobe classic which is having one hell of a revival, and they’re set to be this season's most notable ensemble," says Hello! Fashion's Orion Scott, "Although we might not be sporting them on the red carpet like Elle Fanning at Cannes Film Festival, we can don them to the beach, the bakery, the backyard BBQ and brunch with the girls - we love a versatile wardrobe statement."
The relaxed fit of Sofia's kaftan-style dress is not only ideal for keeping cool in the summer but it requires little thinking to create an elevated outfit. Throw it on and pair it with sandals or heels, throw on some gold earrings and some sunglasses and you're good to go.
