Along with the hype for Meghan’s new series, fans have also hoped that her return to the screen will extend to the new Suits spinoff which premiered in February 2025 on NBC. Many viewers have expressed their desire to see the Duchess of Sussex reprise her role as Rachel Zane. However, Meghan has made it clear and stated she has no intention of returning to acting. The iconic paralegal-turned-lawyer quickly became a fan favorite from the original series, being tenacious, unapologetic, and ever-so-chic. With the Suits and Meghan renaissance, it’s the perfect time to channel your Zane vibes within your wardrobe.

Bodying Geek Chic Eyewear 

Ah, Rachel Zane’s specs, the fans will never forget you. The popular character only donned her geek-chic glasses in one episode, but they made their mark as a visual step in her narrative arc. This can be emulated with various luxury brands and price points, from the Ray-Ban RB5387 under $200 to the mid-range Prada PR 17ZV and the more expensive Burberry BE2419. These frames share the same rectangle frames in acetate, with subtle variations in their Havana coloring.

Season 4 saw Zane struggle with the anxiety of wanting to become a lawyer before getting work as an associate. In the process, she embodied the studious yet effortlessly stylish aesthetic of a woman on a mission with these glasses. The impact on fans is undeniable, with the glasses remaining a topic of discussion on Twitter and Reddit. If you’re looking to enter your accomplishment arc, what better way than with a pair of chic glasses with a purpose? 

Setting the Tone in Neutrals

If there’s one thing Rachel will do when making fashion choices, it’s rocking a neutral tone in a way that feels crisp, sophisticated, feminine, and powerful. By mixing different necklines, textures, materials, and silhouettes, her looks never feel boring and instead establish her refined taste. Tell the world you’re the cream of the crop with a well-fitted cream top, and you’ll have Rachel Zane’s blessings.

As seen in the recent never-before-seen BTS photo of Meghan in character, you can’t go wrong with a flattering blouse with a curved neckline and a neutral palette you can maximize by color blocking. Contrasting whites, beiges, taupes, and mochas with black and light grays can give you that essence of quiet luxury that establishes you the minute you enter any room. Embody Rachel’s workwear with a cotton poplin shirt from Éterne, a light gray twill skirt from Proenza Schouler, and a sensible suede pump from Ann Taylor. 

Drawing on the Power of a Pencil Skirt 

Who says pencil skirts are a thing of the past? With proper styling and seamless undergarments, it can become one of your core essentials for power dressing. As Rachel has shown in her myriad of pencil skirts, you can pair these with fitted and looser tops in various colors. 

The narrow cut shows you mean business while accentuating your natural curves. Go for knee and mid-length cuts, and feel free to experiment with added features like small slits, subtle flares, and little pleats. You can wear classic wool from Tory Burch or add flair with a sequined variant from J. Crew’s collection. Combine all these elements, and you’ll fully channel the Zane essence.
