Meghan offered fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at her whirlwind 24 hours in Washington, D.C., with a new Instagram Reel posted today on @Meghan.
Set to Dolly Parton’s empowering anthem “9 to 5,” the short film captured Meghan in the cockpit of the plane that presumably brought her to the nation’s capital, raising a glass of champagne with a friend, and later chatting warmly with Fortune’s Editor-in-Chief, Alyson Shontell, during the high-profile Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit.
The Duchess captioned the post:
Love being surrounded by strong women supporting each other! Thanks to @fortunempw, my team, DC, and my sweet friends for the 24 hours of impact (and fun!)”
The video perfectly encapsulated Meghan’s signature blend of purpose and joy — celebrating women who are driving change, while exuding the modern polish and poise she’s known for.
My breakdown of what Meghan wore in the Reel —
Her jacket is from Anine Bing — Luca Padded Jacket in deep brown, $400 (available for pre-order).
Get the look!
Quilted Barn Jacket – Exclusive, $198 / Lauren Ralph Lauren Women’s Corduroy-Collar Diamond Quilted Jacket, $180 / H&M Quilted Jacket with Corduroy Collar, $50 / Everlane The Quilted Ranch Jacket, $70
UPDATE 11/2: Meghan’s sweater very likely the Veronica Beard Pippen Brushed Cashmere Pullover, $498. The fuzzy texture matches that of the one seen around her neck below.
The monogrammed tote likely belongs to Meghan’s team member. It is from Longchamp—’My Pilage Signature’ customizable tote, $380—with ‘DS’ for Duchess of Sussex.
BONUS! Meghan’s staff member was wearing the Brunello Cucinelli Herbarium Paillette Embroidered Belted Trench Coat, $14 000, no longer available.
The luggage she is rolling behind her is from Tumi — Alpha 3 Short Trip Expandable 4-Wheel Packing Case, $1,195 now $954.
I looked extensively at her cognac leather tote bag and I it’s from Polène from the few details i can see.
I believe it’s the ‘Cyme’ bag in camel – available in the full size, $560, and the mini, $490. My understanding is that Meghan has the full size tote.
The bag folds in and snaps on either end.
Meghan had included the Cyme bag in her former ShopMy collection back in March. You can find my post on her curated collection here.
The Duchess added a fuzzy cashmere sweater draped casually around her shoulders. Without additional detail, it’s difficult to identify the exact brand.
Let me know if you think I missed something from the clips.
A Winning Week for Archewell Audio
The post comes on the heels of exciting news for Archewell Audio, as Meghan’s latest podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder,” just won a Signal Award in the Business: People Shaping Culture category.
The recognition follows the success of her earlier series, Archetypes, which earned the People’s Choice Award in 2022 and a Gracie Award in 2023. Each of Meghan’s audio projects continues to highlight the stories of women breaking barriers and redefining what leadership looks like today.
Finally, from People magazine —-
In keeping with her approachable yet refined style, Meghan is said to have done her own makeup while in New York earlier this week — a glowing “no-makeup makeup” look that perfectly aligns with the beauty aesthetic I covered in my post on Monday.
The Duchess kept her complexion natural, dewy, and radiant, letting her confidence shine through rather than relying on heavy glam using products from No Makeup Makeup—the brand that I identified in my post that we saw in her Instagram Reel on Sunday.

I spoke with the brand as I think she may have been wearing one of the pink lipstick shades. Pink 01 is a rosy pink and Pink 02 a subdued mauve pink, $44 ea—she could’ve worn either one of these shades.
It’s another example of how Meghan continues to embody understated sophistication, whether she’s on stage at a major summit or sharing a quiet, candid moment on social media.
Can you check out the floral trench coat seen in the pic with the Longchamp tote? Thanks.
Helen, It’s the Brunello Cucinelli Herbarium Paillette Embroidered Belted Trench Coat, no longer available. thanks, Susan
Thank you. I don’t know how you find these items. Genius H.
Meghan is great at casual wear. She looks very pretty.
Any idea what the suitcase under the DS tote is? I know Meghan used to be a big fan of the Away luggage but this is definitely not that.
Hi Shannon – I haven’t looked for that one. That sort of threw me off because I also recall her using a lot of Away luggage. It could be her staff member’s luggage. Thanks, Susan
Thank you Susan! I always find myself curious about the non-clothing items!
Shannon, I updated the post with some options for the polish. There are a lot from CND that are similar. I received the other mauve polish that she wore on Monday and I’m going to post photos in that post. Thanks, Susan
I am pretty sure that carryon is a Tumi Alpha suitcase, but not from the current season as that colour does not appear on the current website. But the shape and markings match perfectly.
Shannon, That is the Tumi Alpha 3 Short Trip Expandable 4-Wheel Packing Case in Anthracite – available here: https://go.shopmy.us/p-28471813. I’ve added it to the post. Thanks, Susan
