Now you can dress like a royal.
Meghan Markle is a sophisticated style siren and is known to put together chic looks that are as elevated as they are easy to replicate. One of her most recent outfits, for example, could most likely be recreated using things that are probably already in your closet.
On October 2, Markle made an appearance at Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara in a blue button-up with a white collar and buttons tucked into pleated ivory trousers that were cinched with a cognac leather belt with a gold buckle. Suede camel-colored pointed-toe heels peeked out from the boot-cut pant, and the duchess accessorized with a beaded necklace and bracelet, plus stacked gold bracelets.
Her hair was styled in a middle part and shiny loose curls, and she kept her glam simple with fringed lashes and a mauve lip.
During her visit, Markle joined a group of young girls for some games and crafts, in addition to helping out with a new digital wellness initiative called Social Media U. Markle also spoke with the teens about social media, a topic that Markle and her husband Prince Harry have been very vocal about in recent years.
Girls Inc. is also partnering with tech advocacy group #HalfTheStory in order to promote the program nationwide, per Vanity Fair. Markle and Harry’s organization Archewell Foundation, in addition to the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation and Melinda French Gates’s Pivotal Ventures, will help fund the effort. Markle also met up with Girls Inc. CEO Stephanie J. Hull and founder of #HalfTheStory Larissa May.
“We did an activity where we talked through a bunch of scenarios, and Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world,” May told VF. “We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally.”
