How Much Meghan Markle’s Most Popular Royal Tour Outfits Actually Cost
Meghan Markle‘s first official royal tour is over. The Duchess of Sussex accompanied Prince Harry to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand for their 16-day trip, and while it was filled with momentous events and appearances, Markle’s fashion truly stole the show.
The former “Suits” actress wore more than 40 outfits during the course of her travels. Many looks were truly meant for a princess — including her custom Givenchy pleated dress and that gorgeous fall ’18 Oscar de la Renta tulle gown she wore to the Australian Geographic Society Gala Awards.
However, despite having access to the biggest designers in fashion, many of her Australian tour ensembles were priced fairly reasonably and surprisingly accessible for us commoners. And it was her shoes that made her style so attainable.
Footwear brands Markle sported included J. Crew, Rothy’s, Adidas, Veja and Banana Republic — all of which can easily be purchased online and in stores.
