Meghan Markle stepped out for a low-key public outing last week in a look that followers of the royal didn’t see coming.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was spotted alongside her husband Prince Harry, 39, looking radiant in the most unexpected black cape by Carolina Herrera. The piece featured sleeves that cut off at the elbow and a round neck, as well as a tiered detail across the chest.
The garment, which was embroidered with delicate white flowers with green stems, was styled with a pair of black wide-leg trousers. She also ditched her go-to suede stilettos for a pair of pointed-toe flats.
The Duchess styled her raven locks in loose waves, while her makeup look was glowing and featured a rosy pink cheek and matching lip colour. Completing her makeup was a pair of fluttery false lashes.
Prince Harry stood next to his wife to host a viewing of The Kinsey Collection showcasing African American Arts and History at the SoFi Stadium in California. The Kinsey African American Art and History Collection and Foundation is an institution dedicated to the research, interpretation, and presentation of the African American experience.
Before Meghan and Harry’s outing last Thursday, Meghan showed off her sartorial prowess while out for dinner in Texas, though her chosen outfit was a far cry from her regal cape. The Duchess wowed in a fitted double denim look with a chic blazer from Heidi Merrick and the ‘Goatskin and Grosgrain Slingbacks’ from Chanel.
It is not the first time that Meghan has rocked a caped look. Take a flick through the best in her collection…
A sombre occasion
For the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, Meghan ensured she pulled the most tasteful black outfit from her wardrobe. She opted for a midi dress which happened to feature an elegant cape.
The former Suits star looked beautiful when she arrived at a reception hosted by the British Ambassador to Morocco in Rabat in this off-white bump-skimming gown with a bold cape adorned with diamanté detailing.
Green with envy
Meghan rocked this emerald green look to the Commonwealth Day Service in 2020 which was styled with nude heels and an incredible netted fascinator.
Lady in red
Meghan’s ultimate cape moment comes from 2020 when the former actress attended the Mountbatten Festival of Music at the Royal Albert Hall in the most stunning red caped floor-length dress from Safiyaa. She styled the piece with a red satin clutch from Manolo Blahnik with a diamanté buckle and scarlet red heels.
