A look at what Meghan wore for today’s engagement.
Meghan wore the Veronica Beard ‘Yves’ Tweed Jacket, $998.
The jacket is an off-white wool blend Italian tweed that features a slim, waist-defining fit with a clean, collarless double-breasted silhouette.
I found a few affordable styles to get the look of her jacket.
Belle & Bloom Princess Polina Textured Weave Blazer in cream, $110 / Ann Taylor The Long Collarless Blazer in Fluid Crepe, $146
The Duchess wore a white tank top under the jacket. Without being able to see clear details it’s almost impossible to identify the brand. She does own one by Co in an ivory/off-white color and it’s possible she is wearing that one.
Her trousers are likely the Veronica Beard ‘Marbeau’ Wide-Leg Pant in Dove White, $498.
They are a stretch-blend high-waisted style.
UPDATE 2/26: Meghan’s shoes are the Zara Ankle Strap Heeled Sandals in black leather, $80.
Meghan is not wearing any jewelry other than her Cartier ‘Love’ bracelet and a gold wedding band.
Please check back for updates. Another post is coming for the second engagement of the day.
I absolutely adore this outfit! Duchess Meghan looks so chic! ♥️♥️♥️
An all-white look that not only suits her perfectly but is also very appropriate for this event. I also appreciate the minimal jewelry. The jacket reminds me of Chanel, I’ll have to find one similar because I love it !
Loved this look and the NBA look, but the ensemble (really the white shirt + wrinkled pants) later in the day were a miss for me. Great to see them highlighting these causes!
