Meghan Markle Has Been Trying to Show You Her Power Colour — Are You Paying Attention?

17/07/2018 - 06:35 PM

At this point in her royal career, Meghan Markle [1] has kicked some style rules to the curb [2] — including wearing black [3] for everyday events instead of reserving the shade [4] for more somber occasions. So, if she's been wearing something repeatedly, we have a feeling it's just because she likes it. Thank goodness for that! Shouldn't it always be so?

The Duchess of Sussex seems to favour a dusty rose colour that is so light, we almost mistake it for ivory every time she steps out. She wore it in the form of a Nonie trench dress [5] to visit the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition in London, and her most famous example might be the off-the-shoulder Carolina Herrera number [6] she chose for Trooping the Colour, when her manicure [7] matched to a T.

But Meghan has opted for this tricky hue at public events that date back to 2012, way before she even met Prince Harry [8]! Even if Meghan wouldn't say she feels most confident in ballet slipper pink, all of the appearances ahead confirm it's absolutely her power colour. She just glows a little brighter when she's wearing it. Read on to see what we mean, then dig out your credit card for some inspired shopping.

The Nonie Trench

Meghan opted for Canadian label Nonie [10] for her appearance at The Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibit in London on July 17, 2018. She accessorised with a Mulberry clutch in the exact same shade, along with neutral Dior pumps and Birks diamond earrings.

The Prada Dress

Meghan wore a double-breasted Prada dress [11] with an asymmetrical hemline to the Queen's Young Leaders Awards Ceremony on June 26, 2018. She accessorised with a Prada leather clutch and Aquazzura bow heels [12].

The Carolina Herrera Off-the-Shoulder Dress

Meghan selected a surprising silhouette [13] for Trooping the Colour on June 9, 2018: an off-the-shoulder Carolina Herrera design that she completed with a Philip Treacy hat, Birks rings, and a blush manicure that matched her design perfectly in shade.

The Peachy Goat Dress

Meghan selected one of Kate Middleton's go-to brands, Goat, to attend Prince Charles's 70th birthday party at Buckingham Palace. It was her accessories — a Philip Treacy hat, Tamara Mellon pumps, and a Wilbur & Gussie clutch with a sheen — that brought out the pink in her outfit. She completed her elegant ensemble [14] with Vanessa Tugendhaft Idylle earrings.

The Tulle-Wrapped Jumpsuit

When Meghan attended the NBC Universal Cable Entertainment Upfront in 2015, she wore this feminine-infused jumpsuit with plain black pumps. The bodice was wrapped in lovely pink tulle that drew attention to some floral appliqué.

The Satin Slouch Tank

Meghan worked a neutral-toned ruched skirt with a lightweight ivory-pink tank at the 2012 USA Network Upfront in NYC. She finished her outfit with camel-coloured sandals, interworking various shades of blush into her look.
