Meghan Markle Slips on Versatile Heels to Speak at World Mental Health Day With Prince Harry

Meghan Markle brought sharp style to the stage while speaking during the Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in the Digital Age. In New York City, Markle spoke on the topic of mental health in the era of social media with her husband, Prince Harry, as well as Carson Daly and Dr. Vivek H. Murthy.

For the occasion, the Duchess of Sussex wore a set of sharply pointed pumps. Her smooth, nude-toned leather style featured triangular toes and closed counters for a formal silhouette.

Markle’s neutral footwear was complete with thin stiletto heels, which totaled at least 4 inches in height for a sleek, dressy height boost.

A closer look at Markle’s pumps.

The royal’s pumps — which leaned into her penchant for pointed-toe silhouettes, which she frequently wears both on and off-duty — provided a clean complement to her outfit for the occasion: a cream off-the-shoulder top and long pleated trousers in the same hue. For a modern gleam, Markle minimally completed her outfit with a gold chain pendant necklace set with a deep green gemstone, as well as black crystal-topped huggie earrings and several rings.

However, this wasn’t Markle’s only sharp pair of heels for World Mental Health Day. On the same day, the “Suits” star also stepped out in a black iteration of designer Jennifer Chamandi’s pointed-toe Lorenzo pumps to visit the Marcy Lab School, as well.

As previously stated, one of Markle’s go-to shoe styles is pointed-toe pumps, which she wears in neutral and tonal hues from Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Aquazzura and more top labels. When off-duty, her streamlined, versatile style also incorporates Valentino flats, Nike sneakers and Hunter boots.
