Before Prince Harry had even proposed, the world’s eyes were on Meghan Markle’s style.
There are blogs dedicated to documenting every outfit she wears, details of who she’s wearing appear within seconds of her being seen in public, and brands vying to be the next sell-out label she wears.
With all this documentation of her style, it’s pretty obvious when Meghan starts wearing more of one thing or less of another. Her messy bun for example has become, a staple, everyone knows about her favourite shoe designer Sarah Flint, and now she’s been wearing a whole lot of blue.
When Meghan went to Kensington Palace yesterday for the launch of a cookbook with recipes from a group of women affected by the Grenfell Tower fire, she picked a blue Smthye Coat.
On a trip to the theatre to see Hamilton with Prince Harry, Meghan wore a royal blue Jason Wu dress with matching Aquazzura shoes – another firm favourite for Meghan.
Here are some potential sources of inspiration for Meghan’s blue streak.
