Meghan Markle returned to the spotlight in spectacular fashion last night. For the Endeavour Fund Awards, the Duchess chose a turquoise sheath dress by Victoria Beckham, sticking to accessories on the blue spectrum with navy Manolo Blahnik pumps and Stella McCartney’s clutch bag. The £950 dress is now, sadly, sold out.
It might have been a perfect storm of precipitation and flashbulbs, but the Duchess looked radiant. So radiant, if fact, that the only option is to get some blue steel in your wardrobe stat.
There’s plenty on offer in the dress department. Joseph’s crepe de chine dress with a pussy-bow tie sits on the smart end of the scale, while COS’s collarless ticker-striped shirt dress is perfect for layering tunic-style over wide-leg trousers. If you’ve got a hot holiday on the horizon, meanwhile, Zara’s smocked taffeta frock is perfect for after-hours sundowners.
Meghan’s also scheduled to appear at the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow night. Will she continue to be our blue crush? Time will tell.
