Meghan Markle Puts A Chic Spin On Classic Neutrals

The Royal Family stepped out to the cenotaph at Whitehall in London to mark Remembrance Sunday services on Nov. 10. The annual event commemorates those who lost their lives in World Wars I and II and other conflicts since, such as the Korean War, Afghanistan War and Iraq War. Remembrance Day marks the signing of the Armistice that ended the First World War. The Queen was joined by Duchess Kate, Duchess Camilla, Duchess Meghan, the Countess of Wessex, Princess Anne’s husband Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Charles, Prince Harry and Prince William.

Sophie, Meghan and Timothy stood together on a balcony. Everyone was wearing black due to the somber nature of the event, and all had poppies on. Sophie wore a special brooch.

Meghan and Sophie also had a quick conversation before the event started. If you’re wondering why Meghan and Kate were standing on separate balconies, it has to do with the order of precedence.—Hello!

On Nov. 9, the Royal Family stepped out to London’s Royal Albert Hall for the annual Festival of Remembrance. The evening event honours and commemorates the sacrifices made by the UK during World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Afghanistan War and Iraq War and other conflicts since 1914.

This year also marks the 75th anniversary of a number of crucial battles of 1944 – Monte Cassino, Kohima and Imphal, and D-Day – with a particular emphasis on the role of the Commonwealth and Allied Forces.

This is also the first time since we’ve seen Prince William and Duchess Kate with Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan since July.

Duchess Meghan chose an entirely black outfit, as is customary for Remembrance Day, wearing a black brocade dress with a v-neckline. Those are black Aquazzura pumps on her feet. She came wearing the customary Remembrance Day poppy.—Hello!

Duchess Meghan was wearing one of her favourite Canadian designers when she and Prince Harry stepped out to the Field of Remembrance at London’s Westminster Abbey on November 7.

The Duchess of Sussex chose a gorgeous blue Sentaler teddy coat for her appearance, which she paired with a Philip Treacy fascinator and black Tamara Mellon boots. Meghan wore her hair wavy and minimal makeup for the event.

The Sentaler coat is their Boucle Alpaca Long Wide Collar Wrap Coat with square pockets and is midnight navy in colour. It’s from the brand’s fall/winter 2015 collection, and she styled it with her own belt. The coat retails for $1,995 through Sentaler, and can be pre-ordered through the brand’s website. —Zach Harper, Hello! 

Meghan Markle made a surprise visit to London’s Luminary Bakery earlier this week to help the organization open a new franchise. The Duchess of Sussex first worked with the bakery earlier this year, when she featured them in the pages of British Vogue as part of the September issue she guest-edited. The bakery helps women who have faced issues such as abuse, sexual assault, neglect, mental health issues, trafficking, poverty or other forms of marginalization find work.

Luminary’s first location was so successful that they’re opening another, which, according to an Instagram post by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s team, will enable the organization to “provide services, support and mentoring for four times the number of women.”

Meghan arrived at Luminary for a special celebration that involved cutting one of their delicious cakes. She sported skinny jeans, a striped top from With Nothing Underneath, a brown leather Madewell belt and J. Crew collarless blazer, along with a very classic pair of Stan Smith Adidas sneakers. She accessorized with Adina Reyter earrings and wore an apron over her outfit as she helped cut the cake. —Zach Harper, Hello! 

Duchess Meghan arrived at a gender equality forum at Windsor Castle on October 25 wearing the exact same skirt Queen Letizia of Spain wore the day before.

Meghan attended a One Young World roundtable on gender equality in the red leather Hugo Boss pencil skirt, which she teamed with a burgundy crew-neck top by Joseph and red heels. She had her hair tied back in a chignon that resembled a beehive—not a hairstyle we’ve seen her wear much in the past.—Zach Harper, Hello! 

Duchess Meghan was all smiles, looking happy and relaxed as she stepped out to the One Young World Summit in London on Oct. 22–and she was wearing a Canadian designer. The Duchess of Sussex sported the beautiful purple Maxwell midi dress by Aritzia’s brand Babaton for the event at Royal Albert Hall. She wore blue heels on her feet and had her hair down in loose waves. This also isn’t the first time we’ve seen her in this dress—we previously saw it in Birkenhead in January, when she was pregnant with Archie Harrison. Then, the mother-to-be wore it underneath a cherry red coat by another Canadian label, Sentaler.—Zach Harper, Hello! 

Keen royal watchers may have recognized the dress Duchess Meghan was wearing when she stepped out to the WellChild Awards with Prince Harry on Oct. 15. We last saw the Duchess of Sussex in this look back in 2017, when she and Harry announced their engagement! This time, Meghan paired the dress by Italian designer P.A.R.O.S.H. with brown suede Manolo Blahnik heels and a Montunas tortoiseshell bag with a scarf handle. She was also wearing a tan coat by Canada’s Sentaler, a label that has fast become a favourite with the royals, with Duchess Kate also being pictured wearing its looks several times since 2011. – Zach Harper, Hello!

On her final day of touring South Africa, Duchess Meghan pulled off another sensational royal re-wear while meeting the late Nelson Mandela’s wife, Graça Machel. The look consisted of a pink wrap dress by Canadian label House of Nonie, nude heels and her trademark messy bun. The last time we saw the 38-year-old in the dress was during a visit to London’s Southbank Centre in July 2018. The royal visited the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition at the centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. What a sweet, subtle gesture to bring the dress out again for Graça! – Sarah Walker, Hello!

As the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry wrapped up their royal tour of southern Africa hand-in-hand, Meghan stepped out to her first engagement of the day in her now go-to look: a shirt dress. She and Harry wore colour-coordinated outfits as they toured YES (Youth Employment Service), an organization that seeks to create jobs to keep young people from being “shut out of the economy.” They beamed as they spoke about their time on the continent. While Meghan wore a white shirt dress featuring a belt and front-facing slit, Harry wore a white shirt and khaki pants alongside a light blue blazer. The new mom accessorized her outfit with nude heels, red tassel statement earrings and a beaded bracelet she received during a visit to The Teddy Bear Clinic on Oct. 1. The pair looked perfectly polished and relaxed. – Sarah Walker, Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex has made a number of important appearances during her time in South Africa, and at each she’s made bold political and sartorial statements — and October 1 was no exception.

After attending an event at the University of Johannesburg in the morning, the 38-year-old dropped in to ActionAid, to talk about tackling sexual violence and gender-based violence in schools. She wore a perfect-for-fall green shirt dress by American brand Room 502. The new mom paired the dress with funky statement earrings and black high heels, and kept her long locks loose.

—Sarah Walker, Hello!

The 38-year-old stepped out to the University of Johannesburg in a beautiful camel tuxedo dress by Banana Republic, which she paired with nude Stuart Weitzman suede high heels. Her hair was down and her makeup was minimal as she met with officials at the school in a round-table discussion with the Association of Commonwealth Universities, one of her patronages.

Meghan has been wearing tons of affordable style in South Africa, and the Banana Republic look is no exception. The double-breasted trench dress retails for US$139, though it’s currently sold out.

The duchess helped announce three new Gender Grants at the University of Johannesburg, which will be given to students there, at Stellenbosch University in the Western Cape province, and at the University of the Western Cape in the Cape Town suburb of Bellville. She made a speech on women’s education while there.

—Zach Harper, Hello!

Meghan, who was spotted in Cape Town’s airport on September 28, boarding a flight to Johannesburg with Archie in her arms, took some time to visit the Victoria Yards creative hub after she’d spent a few days in the city. The new mom looked gorgeous in orange slingbacks by Everlane and a navy blue button-up midi dress by Canadian label Aritzia as she walked with through the space.

Meghan, who lived in Canada while she was filming Suits, loves Aritzia and it has long been one of her go-to Canadian brands.

Victoria Yards is a hub home to a dozen artists including painter, printmaker and sculptor James Delaney, who shared some images of Meghan’s visit on Twitter on September 30. James won a Business Arts South Africa Award for unique sculptures he and his team created for The Wilds, an inner city park and municipal nature reserve in Johannesburg that had fallen into decline in the early 2000s due to an increase in crime there. James decided to change this in 2012 and worked with a group of people to de-weed and clear brush. The team also made a series of metal owl sculptures for The Wilds and he is also one of the artists who has turned Victoria Yards into hotspot for creativity and innovation.

—Zach Harper, Hello!

Meghan Markle’s royal tour wardrobe has been nothing short of extraordinary so far. Since arriving in South Africa on September 23, the 38-year-old has wowed royal watchers by bringing out old favourites and new pieces, and showcased her keen sense of style while putting a mindful emphasis on sustainable fashion.xFor her second event of the day on September 25, the Duchess of Sussex stepped out to Cape Town’s Woodstock Exchange for Work in Progress, where she met with inspiring women entrepreneurs in the tech industry. She followed that up with a trip in to charity mothers2mothers, which trains HIV-positive women as frontline health workers in eight different African countries. While there, she made an incredible gesture by donating some of Archie Harrison’s old clothing, along with some baby items her friends’ children no longer fit.

Meghan looked completely stunning in a black Everlane jumpsuit, which she paired with black suede Manolo Blahnik pumps. She accessorized with beautiful gold earrings from GAS Bijoux.

—Zach Harper, Hello!

Duchess Meghan’s love of Canadian style is well-documented, and she showed it off again on September 25 when she chose the gorgeous Dremah printed silk midi dress by Club Monaco while she and Archie Harrison met Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter, Thandeka.

The Duchess of Sussex was beaming as she arrived at Desmond’s foundation headquarters in Cape Town, South Africa and introduced the anti-apartheid activist to her four-month-old son. She paired the dress with navy heels from Manolo Blahnik and a sleek bun.

As for her little boy, he looked nothing short of adorable, dressed in blue-and-white striped overalls from H&M that very strongly resemble a similar look his father wore around the same age. —Zach Harper, Hello!

Some dresses you can wear anywhere, whether it be at the beach or a reception at the British High Commissioner’s residence—and that’s the case with Duchess Meghan’s sleeveless maxi dress by Martin Grant.

We last saw the Duchess of Sussex in the dress while she and Prince Harry were on tour in Australia in October 2018. The then-37-year-old paired it with espadrille wedges and accessorized with Karen Walker earrings, wearing her hair up. This time, her hair was down and Meghan wore minimal jewellery.

During the reception at the British High Commissioner’s residence, Harry and Meghan presented Jade Bothma and Hunter Mitchell with Commonwealth Points of Light prizes. The awards recognize “inspirational volunteers” in the Commonwealth, and recognize those who have given their time to improve society and make the world a better place. —Zach Harper, Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex once again showed off her stunning style in South Africa on September 24 during her trip to the Auwal Mosque — the oldest mosque in South Africa.

The 38-year-old began the day at Monwabisi Beach in a casual denim outfit, and slipped into a relaxed khaki dress, cream headscarf and Sam Edelman flats for her trip to the masjid.

The look was perfectly on point and showed Meghan’s respect for the religious customs of Islam. She and Prince Harry took a look at the first known manuscript of the Qu’ran in South Africa, and then met with different faith groups. —Sarah Walker, Hello!

Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry arrived at Cape Town, South Africa’s Monwabisi Beach for their first two engagements of the day looking relaxed and happy on September 24. Meghan’s jean jacket surprised royal watchers since no royal has ever worn this wardrobe staple at an official engagement before. Meghan paired her Madewell denim jacket with black jeans, a crisp white shirt, brown flats, a brown tote and sunglasses.

Meghan and Harry were visiting the beach to hear about the work done by an NGO called Waves for Change. The organization works with vulnerable children and youth in Cape Town and beyond, providing them with “surf mentors” who use surfing to improve their mental health and wellbeing. They also dropped in to see The Lunchbox Fund, which is run out of the Waves for Change kitchen. —Zach Harper, Hello!

One of the Duchess of Sussex’s favourite tour dresses made a royal reappearance in South Africa on Sept. 23, a year after she wore the perfectly-fitted ensemble in Tonga while she was pregnant with Archie Harrison.

The 38-year-old donned the bright sky blue Veronica Beard dress for her second stop of the day at the District 6 Museum alongside Prince Harry. Located in the inner-city residential area of Cape Town, the museum highlights the forced relocation of 60,000 inhabitants of various ethnicities during Apartheid in the 1960s.

Meghan paired the tailored calf-length dress featuring pockets and on-trend side slits, with her favoured black Castañer Carina Espadrilles. The dress is no longer available online, but the shoes retail for US$120 on Net-a-Porter. —Sarah Walker, Hello!

Duchess Meghan stepped out with Prince Harry in a beautiful black-and-white leopard-print dress for her first engagement in Cape Town. The royal couple arrived in Nyanga township to visit a project by Justice Desk, an NGO that teaches children about their rights and provides self-defence classes and female empowerment training to young girls in the community.

Meghan’s wrap dress is by Mayamiko, a sustainable and ethical label based in Malawi, where Harry will visit later this week. The unique frock features several strands of DNA up its front. Her wedges are by Castañer, a brand also much loved by Duchess Kate. Mayamiko has obviously already benefitted in a massive way, since the dress is already sold out. If you want to get your hands on the espadrilles, you can buy them over at Net-a-Porter for US$120. —Zach Harper, Hello!

Duchess Meghan looked so happy when she stepped out to the launch of The Smart Set, her new capsule collection that’s been put together for her patronage Smart Works in collaboration with designer Misha Nonoo, John Lewis, Marks & Spencer and Jigsaw.

Not only was she sporting a blouse and trousers from the line, but she had an extra sparkle courtesy some jewellery once owned by the late Princess Diana. The bracelet is set with two cabochon stones that are likely sapphires of onyx, and Diana enjoyed wearing it at balls and galas.

Meghan was wearing a blouse and trousers from The Smart Set – the latter was designed by Jigsaw and the former by Misha. She paired it with a Ralph Lauren belt and Manolo Blahnik heels. For every item bought from The Smart Set, a second will be purchased and donated to Smart Works, which helps women who are unemployed land jobs. The Duchess of Sussex wore a gold cuff bracelet and diamond butterfly earrings – treasured pieces from the late People’s Princess’s collection.—Zach Harper, Hello!

The duchess flew to New York last-minute to support her good friend Serena Williams in the final of the U.S. Open against Canada’s Bianca Andreescu. The duchess wore a denim dress—reportedly from J.Crew—and grey coat. Andreescu beat Williams, 6-3, 7-5, in an hour and 40 minutes. (Read our profile of Andreescu here.)

In a very regal appearance, Duchess Meghan stepped out to the European premiere of The Lion King on Sunday (July 14) with Prince Harry at her side (and, she hugged Beyoncé!) The Duchess of Sussex made her red carpet debut as a royal in a partly sheer Jason Wu gown, which she accessorized with Aquazzura heels. She carried a simple black Gucci clutch. Harry looked dapper in a simple suit and black bow tie. Meghan and Harry also spent time with Elton John and David Furnish, who attended the premiere and greeted the duke and duchess with hugs. The European premiere of The Lion King was held “in support of the conservation and communities work of His Royal Highness through The Royal Foundation,” according to the Telegraph. Disney will also pledge US$1.5 million to the Lion Recovery Fund in connection with the film, the publication reports.—Zach Harper, Hello!

Duchess Meghan and Beyoncé were beaming at each other as they met on the red carpet at the European premiere of The Lion King on July 14. They even gave each other a hug. Prince Harry and Jay-Z were also on hand for the screening, which was attended by other stars such as Seth Rogen and more. Queen Bey voices Nala in the film, and earlier this year, she and Jay-Z dedicated their BRIT Award to Meghan by posing in front of a portrait of Meghan in a tiara in place of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. Meghan’s reaction? Totally relatable, and basically what any of us would do if this happened to us: She sent makeup artist and good friend Daniel Martin a bulging eyes emoji in response to his text about it.—Zach Harper, Hello!

Duchess Kate, Duchess Meghan and Pippa Middleton in the royal box on centre court, getting set to watch Serena Williams and Simona Halep compete in the women’s singles final. Duchess Meghan is Williams’ good friend; Williams lost 6-2, 6-2 to Halep.  Meghan wore a simple white button down shirt and a pleated white Hugo Boss skirt with a blue design. This is the second appearance for both Kate and Meghan at this year’s tennis championships. Just before Archie Harrison was christened, Meghan stepped out to Wimbledon to watch Serena with two of her best friends from college in tow. —Hello!

On July 4, Duchess Meghan marked the U.S. Independence Day holiday by stepping out to Wimbledon to watch her good friend Serena Williams take on Slovenia’s Kaja Juvan. The new mom chose a simple and casual outfit for the event. She wore Outland Denim Harriet jeans, a black-and-white pinstriped L’Agence Brea blazer, black shirt and black heels as she took her seat in Centre Court. The Duchess of Sussex, who is set to christen her baby son Archie Harrison this Saturday (July 6), looked like she was having a blast watching Williams compete. Williams is up for her eighth Wimbledon title this year. Meghan also stepped out to watch Williams take on Angelique Kerber in the women’s singles final at Wimbledon last year. Then, she and Duchess Kate shared laughs in the stands. – Hello!

Meghan, Kate, the Cambridge kids and Archie were on hand to see Prince William and Prince Harry compete in the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis weren’t in photos from cousin Archie Harrison’s christening last weekend, but they got the opportunity to see their cousin on July 10, when Duchess Kate brought them along for a playdate to a polo match in Berkshire. Duchess Meghan made sure to bring Archie to take part in the fun. Meghan opted for a breezy, olive green midi dress with short sleeves. Archie slept peacefully in his mom’s arms. Meghan accessorized with sunglasses and left her flowing locks loose.

– Hello! Canada

Meghan looked gorgeous, and her earrings carried a message of their own! The Duchess of Sussex opted for the Cartier diamond baubles she sported during her May 2018 wedding to Harry. Many fans online pointed out that not only was she paying tribute to her nuptials with the $19,600 earrings, but her Dior dress looked very similar to the Clare Waight-Keller Givenchy gown she wore while she said her vows. What a sweet way to honour Harry and Archie at the same time!

“I feel the christening was a moment for her to wear items that link the two events together in a subtle but meaningful way,” stylist Rochelle White told the Daily Mail. “I think Meghan wanted something that wouldn’t take the attention from Archie, but match and compliment his christening outfit.”

– Zach Harper, Hello!

Just weeks after giving birth to her first child, Archie Harrison, the Duchess of Sussex is back in the public eye—but just for a day. Meghan took a break from her maternity leave to join Prince Harry for the second time at the Queen’s annual birthday bash, Trooping the Colour. And she wore one of her go-to designers, Givenchy. She paired her gorgeous navy blue bespoke ensemble with a matching cocktail Noelle Stewart hat, and accessorized with a peacock blue quilted clutch and emerald-cut earrings. Her small bag appears to be the mini pocket quilted bag also by Givenchy.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex officially became a new mom to a little boy on Monday (May 6), and now she’ll be able to pass down her fashion savvy! For the bundle of joy’s public debut, the royal wore the most picture-perfect outfit, sided by her dapper husband, Prince Harry, dressed in a grey suit. Meghan looked no further that one of her favourite styles, a trench dress. Dazzling in cream, one of her go-to colours, the Grace Wales Bonner number featured a pretty collar, double-breasted buttoning up the front, pockets and a tie waist. She anchored the look with a pair of beige suede Manolo Blahnik pumps. — Meaghan Wray, Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry stepped out for an unscheduled appearance at London’s New Zealand House on Tuesday (March 19) to sign a book of condolences and pay tribute to the victims of last week’s terror attacks in Christchurch. The visit came as a surprise, since Meghan was not scheduled to make any more public appearances, despite not yet starting her maternity leave.

The duke and duchess were greeted by Sir Jeremiah Mateparae, New Zealand’s High Commissioner to the UK and former New Zealand governor-general, and Deputy High Commissioner to the UK David Evans. Both Meghan and Harry said hello to Jerry with the Hongi, the traditional M?ori greeting.

Meghan and Harry arrived carrying flowers, which they placed outside the building before heading in and signing the condolences book. Fifty people were killed and dozens more were wounded in the attacks last Friday when a gunman opened fire on worshippers at two mosques during Friday prayers. The couple were also scheduled to meet with New Zealand officials to discuss how the country is responding to the violence.

“Our deepest condolences. We are with you,” Meghan wrote in the book, next to Harry’s signature. The duke wrote “Arohanui” next to his signature, which means “best wishes” in M?ori.
– Zach Harper, Hello!

A quick outfit change later and the Duchess of Sussex was out again for the Commonwealth Day Services. After enjoying a fun-filled morning with Prince Harry at Canada House in Trafalgar Square, Meghan switched into a new ensemble. The look harkened back to the colour scheme she chose for the important day in 2018, which was her first time attending as a royal. The pregnant duchess wowed in a print midi dress by one of her go-to British designers, Victoria Beckham. She paired the look with a cream coat, anchoring the ensemble with a pair of dark green satin pumps. Meghan topped it off with a circular white hat, carrying a small green satin clutch to hold her essentials. She brought her favourite Dean Davidson ‘Midi Knockout’ earrings back out for the occasion. They’re the perfect nod to her former honourary home of Toronto, Canada.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex kicked off an action-packed Monday with an appearance at Canada House. The pair saw professionals showcasing the diverse community of young Canadians living in the UK to mark Commonwealth Day. Meghan wore a fabulous green, 50’s style coat by Erdem with a cowl-style neckline and striking black applique detail and shoes by Aquazzura. Canada House is located in London near Trafalgar Square and is home to the Canadian High Commission to the United Kingdom. It’s the place Canadian expats and tourists visit if they’re ever in need of something while travelling.—Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex stepped out in London to celebrate a very important day to her—International Women’s Day. Along with a group of very inspiring women and supported by the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, the mom-to-be took to the panel stage to chat about the importance of women’s empowerment. The 37-year-old wowed in a sweet mod mini dress from affordable British brand REISS. She paired the black-and-white number with a blazer by Alexander McQueen (one of Duchess Kate’s favourite designers!), anchoring the look with her black suede Manolo Blahnik BB pumps and her favourite Stella McCartney clutch—the Shaggy Deer Faux Leather Crossbody. Of particular note was Meghan’s brooch, fixed with the symbol for the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance at WE Day on Tuesday (March 5) alongside her husband, Prince Harry! Looking chic in a navy blue blazer, and black pants and t-shirt, Meghan joined the duke onstage as he gave an impassioned speech to attendees of the event, billed as “an unparalleled event bringing together A-list celebrities, inspiring speakers and world leaders, mixed with uplifting stories of change from real people.” Though the duchess didn’t speak, Harry wrapped up his time onstage by saying “I am with you and we are with you. Now get to work!”
– Sarah Walker, Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex looked beautiful as ever for the 50th anniversary of Prince Charles’s investiture ceremony on Tuesday (March 5, 2019). Meghan went back to some of her favourite hues with one of her go-to coats, and a gold jacquard dress. The pregnant duchess–who’s due to welcome her and Harry’s royal baby in the spring–kept warm in her white ‘Crombie’ coat by Amanda Wakeley (the one she wore for last year’s Commonwealth Day.) She carried her ‘Oyster’ satin clutch by Wilbur and Gussie, and accessorized with a beautiful pair of bar earrings by Canadian jeweller Birks, as well as her Pippa Small ‘Wajiha’ cuff. Anchoring the ensemble were her ‘Pump It Up’ shoes by Paul Andrew.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

For the final engagement in Morocco, the Duchess of Sussex wowed in a gorgeous, floor-length print dress by Carolina Herrera – one of her favourite designers. She paired the look with nude pumps and a small satin clutch, fashioning her hair up in a sleek bun. Her beauty look was a bit more colourful than her classic bronzed cheek – she used a gorgeous coral blush.—Hello!

For their final official engagement in Morocco on Feb. 25 at the Andalusian Gardens in Rabat, Meghan dazzled in a loose-fitting black strapless pleated dress, her white ‘Keith’ jacket by Babaton and her Manolo Blahnik polka dot slingbacks. She accessorized the look with her pair of ‘Gourmette’ GAS Bijoux earrings.

Earlier in the day, the pregnant royal kept things casual in Morocco’s capital city on Feb. 25. For some socializing, food tasting and horse petting, Meghan wore a striped long-sleeved shirt, her J.Crew field jacket (which she previously wore in 2016) and a pair of maternity jeans believed to be HATCH. She anchored the look with Stuart Weitzman ‘Brooks’ booties and accessorized with Ecksand ‘Tresses’ gold earrings.

After keeping things casual during the day on Feb. 24, mom-to-be Meghan amped up the glam for a glitzy reception in Morocco’s capital city of Rabat. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent the day exploring a mountainous region of the North African country, followed by an evening with the British Ambassador, Thomas Reilly – and Meghan’s custom Dior outfit certainly didn’t disappoint. Meghan dressed her blossoming baby bump in a caftan designed just for her by the French fashion house. The flowing cream-hued material – decorated with jewels on the sleeves – looked beautiful on the glowing duchess, who accessorized with a small beige clutch and anchored her elegant ensemble with a pair of silver pumps. Not straying far from the look she loves, the 37-year-old let her natural beauty shine through with a bronzed cheek, a highlighted cheekbone and a swipe of pink on her lips. She fashioned her hair in a sleek bun, which perfectly showed off her stunning earrings, which appear to be her Birks Snowstorm Diamond Earrings (CA$12,000.)—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

Duchess Meghan looked perfectly chic and casual for a visit to Asni, Morocco. While stopping by an “Education for All” boarding house in the Atlas mountains, Meghan wore an Alice + Olivia blazer, HATCH skinny jeans and anchored the look with her favourite pair of flat shoes – her Birdies BLackbird slippers. As for accessories, the pregnant royal chose Boh Runga Discologo gold earrings and a grey frayed-edge scarf (not pictured). She pulled the whole look together with a simple black maternity t-shirt.—Hello!

After a delayed flight, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have officially touched down in Morocco for their three-day royal tour. The couple – who are gearing up to celebrate Baby Sussex in the spring – are set to enjoy a whirlwind few days, from Feb. 23 to 25, meeting important people and likely connecting with charitable organizations in the country that align with their passions in education, sport and youth empowerment. Harry and Meghan will be in the beautiful country until Monday, Feb. 25. The duchess wore a red bespoke Valentino coat dress, designed based on a 2013 vintage-inspired collection by the fashion house. The pregnant duchess fashioned her raven locks in a chic and sleek bun, accessorizing her ensemble with a pair of beige gloves and a matching clutch, the VRing Smooth Calfskin Crossbody Bag in pink by Valentino. She anchored the look with a bespoke pair of Rockstud pumps by the label, with the studs removed.—Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex officially wrapped up her five-day trip to New York City, and the pregnant royal debuted her chic airport outfit on Feb. 20, 2019, with the perfect mix of Canadian and American brands. Leaving her hotel in the Big Apple, Markle definitely gave us some old Toronto style vibes with the black Rectify baseball cap she wore on her head – a style she often turned to while blending in with the Canadian city. Keeping her outfit simple, she turned to maternity wear brand Ingrid & Isabel, sporting their black activewear hoodie, combined with a pair of Lululemon Align leggings for ultimate comfort. She anchored the look with black Adidas Ultraboost sneakers. Her beauty look boasted a bronzed cheek, a subtle smoky eye and a glossy pink lip for her trip home.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex must be overjoyed to be back in the Big Apple, a city she frequented as a Hollywood star. It’s an especially exciting trip, given she’s getting to see many of her closest friends – like Jessica Mulroney and reportedly Priyanka Chopra – to celebrate the upcoming birth of Baby Sussex with a luxurious baby shower. Naturally, royal watchers were over the moon to catch a glimpse of her New York City street style as she headed out for the affair on Tuesday (Feb. 19, 2018). Leaving her hotel in the city, the pregnant royal looked elegant as ever in a perfectly monochrome outfit featuring some of her favourite designers. She sported a pair of black maternity trousers by the brand Hatch – a brand she’s worn before during her pregnancy. She carried a chic grey shopper purse by Carolina Herrera, accessorizing with her pair of Le Specs ‘Air Heart’ sunglasses to beat the city sun, as well as one of her favourite rings – Love Ring by Solange Azagury Partridge – which she first wore on a visit to The Hub Community Kitchen last year. To keep her baby bump warm, she dazzled in a black textured coat. Meghan kept her beauty look simple, not straying far from what she typically likes to wear – a bit of bronzer, a pink lip and her dark hair down by her shoulders.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

The arrival of Baby Sussex is just around the corner, and the Sussexes aren’t slowing down. Prince Harry and Meghan stepped out for yet another glamorous date night on Tuesday (Feb. 12, 2019), this time for a little bit of theatre — a gala performance of the National History Museum’s new Charles Darwin-inspired production, The Wider Earth. There’s no denying that all eyes were on the show’s impressive handmade puppets… But Duchess Meghan’s crisp white ensemble certainly stole the pre-show. The duchess looked wonderful in white, opting for an elegant knee-length dress by Calvin Klein and a matching Amanda Wakeley coat – the same one she wore in March 2018 for Commonwealth Day with Harry, Prince William and Duchess Kate. Fashioning her hair up in a sleek bun, the 37-year-old accessorized with a pair of green suede pumps and a small matching clutch to hold her necessities. Meghan amped up the glam when it came to her beauty look, taking her natural glow to a whole new level with added bronzer, highlighter, a smoky eye and an overall dewy finish to her skin.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

For the chicest of date nights for a good cause, the mom-to-be dazzled in Givenchy by Clare Waight Keller to hand out awards to scholarship recipients. The mom-to-be looked no further than the designer of her stunning wedding gown – Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy – for her bespoke black-and-white dress. The creation, which boasted a flattering high leg slit on the side, harkened back to her pre-royal days when she frequently wore crisp white button-up tops. Meghan accessorized with her satin Givenchy clutch and a pair of new shoes – the Rendez Vous 105’s by Aquazzura. As for her beauty look, the royal was positively glowing with light bronzer, a subtle smoky eye and a pink lip.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex rang in the first day of February with a snowy trip to Bristol. After back-to-back appearances by the pregnant royal, she joined her husband for packed day – full of adorable encounters with little ones, a tour of the Bristol Old Vic theatre and a visit to Empire Fighting Chance, a boxing gym that helps build confidence in local youth. The couple also stopped by the charity One25, which helps women to break free from street sex work, addiction and other life-controlling issues. A little bit of snowy weather didn’t stop Meghan Markle from bringing out her best in fashion sense. As she arrived, the duchess was bundled up for the cold, a bit of her Oscar de la Renta belted printed silk-chiffon dress peeked out from beneath her elegant black coat. Her boots, by Sarah Flint, were the ultimate accessory to bring some colour to the blustery day. She held a green clutch to match.—Hello!

Following a starry engagement at The National Theatre as its patron on Wednesday (Jan. 30), the Duchess of Sussex has done it yet again, looking stylish as ever to support a cause very close to her heart. The academic-minded royal was the picture of elegance in an all-black ensemble for a meeting with the Association of Commonwealth Universities on Jan. 31, 2019. The pregnant duchess arrived to cheers from her adoring fans! She looked no further than her wedding gown designer Givenchy, recycling her dark coat by the fashion house which she wore for her first Remembrance Sunday service as a royal. She appeared to be wearing a floaty black dress underneath the piece, anchoring the look with a pair of beige suede heels and styling her hair up in a top knot. As for makeup, the 37-year-old let her natural beauty shine through with minimal products – a nude lip and a simple smoky eye. She appeared to be wearing her ‘Midi Knockout’ earrings by Canadian jewellery designer Dean Davidson.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

Duchess Meghan’s busy week has kicked off with a visit to one of her patronages, the National Theatre, on Jan. 30, 2019. After meeting the theatre’s director, Rufus Norris, in secret last year, the art enthusiast has finally made her official visit. Meghan paired a V-neck Brandon Maxwell dress with a blazer of the same hue by the American designer, accessorizing with a small Carolina Herrera ‘Insignia’ clutch and a simple silver ring on her her pointer finger. She wore her brunette locks in a chic bun. Many may recognize the anchor of her outfit to be the Aquazzura cross-cross suede pumps she wore for her official engagement announcement on Nov. 27, 2017. The pregnant royal kept it simple with bronzed and glowing cheeks, a subtle smoky eye and a swipe of pink across her lips.

Hot on the heels of her second patronage visit on Wednesday (Jan. 16, 2019), Meghan Markle went home for a quick outfit change before joining her husband, Prince Harry, for a performance of Cirque du Soleil’s Totem. The Sentebale fundraiser saw the royal mom-to-be showing that “Markle Sparkle” in a sequinned Roland Mouret gown as she sweetly cradled her bump and held her husband’s hand. The Duchess of Sussex was a vision at the glitzy affair in a $7,400 design by the French designer, a good friend who has dressed her on many occasions. The navy boatneck “Sarandon” dress, with its long sleeves and knee-high slit, perfectly hugged Markle’s growing baby bump as she met Cirque officials and made her way into Royal Albert Hall. She carried a Givenchy clutch, wore a bracelet that belonged to Princess Diana and anchored the look with what appear to be Stuart Weitzman’s black Nudist sandals. The royal wore her shiny locks in a sleek bun and amped up her makeup look from earlier with a bold berry lip. Prince Harry looked perfectly dapper by her side in a navy suit.—Jessica Pollack, Hello!

After announcing her first four patronages last Thursday, Meghan Markle paid a visit to one of them: Mayhew. Looking perfectly chic in monochrome cream, the pregnant royal mingled with dogs and cats and learned about the charity’s work. The Duchess of Sussex mixed high- and low-end pieces to create the ultimate maternity look. Covering her baby bump in H&M’s bump-hugging Mama Fine-Knit Dress, she accessorized with a pair of sling-back Manolo Blahnik ‘Allura 105’ pumps, an Emporio Armani cream cashmere coat and her Stella McCartney Falabella Reversible tote, which is made from vegan leather.

Looking radiant in red, Duchess Meghan delighted her many admirers for a walkabout on Monday, January 14, 2019. And fans didn’t forget to ask some very important questions, including one about her due date. The 37-year-old, who’s around six months pregnant, showed off her style savvy and revealed she’s due at the end of April. One onlooker, Kitty Dudley, 9, of St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, shared a brief moment she shared with the royal beauty: “I asked her if she was having a girl or a boy and she said she didn’t know.” The former Suits star dazzled in bright colours, keeping her blossoming baby bump extra warm in a cherry red coat by Canadian label Sentaler and a purple dress (now, sadly, sold out) by Babaton for Aritzia. (She wore the exact same coat in a camel hue for her first Christmas at Sandringham in 2017, just months after announcing her engagement to Prince Harry.) She anchored the look with a matching pair of red pumps and, of course, styled her hair in her trademark messy bun.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex’s patronages have been revealed eight months after her royal wedding to Prince Harry and the eight organizations are all in line with the mom-to-be’s passions. “The Duchess of Sussex will become Patron of four organisations that reflect the causes and issues with which she has long been associated including the arts, access to education, support for women and animal welfare,” said Kensington Palace in a tweet. Fans have been eager to know Meghan’s official causes and they were surely thrilled with the selection. Smart Works, which the pregnant royal visited on Thursday (Jan. 10, 2019) following the announcement of her patronages, helps unemployed and disadvantaged women to gain confidence and skills to help them find jobs. Stylish Meghan, clad in an Oscar de la Renta coat, Hatch dress (available at Shopbop) and cow-print pumps, hung out in the organization’s closet lending advice to ladies getting dressed ahead of their job interviews.—Jessica Pollack, Hello!
