Meghan Markle Just Had Another Middleton Moment in Kate's Go-To Outfit Formula

Today, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are opening the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition at the Southbank Centre, in honour of Mandela's 100th birthday. The Duchess of Cambridge's royal wardrobe revolves around nude pumps and coat dresses, and it seems Meghan is following this outfit formula too.

Markle wore a sleeveless double-breasted trench coat dress that featured a belted waist and a flared skirt by Nonie. This style of coatdress is a modern update on Kate Middleton's look, as she tends to favour classic silhouettes in vibrant colours. However, Markle's is an unexpected update on a classic trench coat. She finished off her outfit with a matching blush clutch bag by Mulberry and neutral, pointed-toed court shoes by Dior. Keep scrolling to see and shop Meghan Markle's latest look.
