Your support makes all the difference.Meghan Markle has been serving up a masterclass in fashion diplomacy while on tour with Prince Harry in Colombia.
From a Veronica Beard navy pantsuit styled with a pair of Manolo Blahnik pumps to a slinky silk shirt by Victoria Beckham paired with La Ligne trousers and Aquazzura sandals, the polished looks have been corporate with trend-led twists.
Her touring wardrobe has spanned buzzy brands, such as Australian label Posse, as well as Colombian designers including Johanna Ortiz.
While most of the Duchess’s covetable looks require the Royal budget to match, Meghan Markle plumped for a British high street brand during her final week on tour.
Speaking at a forum discussion focused on highlighting and uplifting Afro-Colombian women, she styled a sequin skirt from Colombian-born designer Silvia Tcherassi with a Mango white short-sleeve shirt. Costing just £26, some sizes are still in stock – but you’ll want to be quick. Here’s where to shop, plus similar styles.
