Inspired by Meghan and Carole’s look? Check out our high-street finds…
The design featured a cinched waist, belted detailing and a flowing skirt. And the cut flattered her figure while showcasing her love for elegant, fuss-free style.
Fans hailed the look, with one writing on Instagram: “Stunning just like her daughter.” A second agreed and penned: “I love her dress. She always looks so put together.”
Months later, Meghan Markle debuted a near-identical silhouette on Netflix, choosing a far pricier £1,958 Carolina Herrera dress for her on-screen appearance during With Love Meghan.
The Duchess of Sussex’s gown echoed Carole’s look with the same belted waist and floaty skirt, cementing the cut as a go-to favourite within royal style circles.
While Meghan’s designer choice carried a steeper price tag, Carole’s more affordable version proved that this effortlessly flattering style can be achieved without breaking the bank.
The similarities between the two have not gone unnoticed, with fashion watchers suggesting Meghan may have taken inspiration from Prince William’s mother-in-law’s standout Wimbledon moment.
Stripes have also emerged as one of the standout trends of the season, with designers embracing bold linear patterns across spring and autumn collections.
The print offers an elongating effect that flatters every figure, making it a favourite among women of all ages.
From high-street brands to luxury labels, striped dresses in both monochrome and vibrant colourways are dominating wardrobes this year.
