Meghan Markle Masterfully Enhances a $70 Dress with Her Impeccable Style

Meghan Markle graced the stage alongside Prince Harry at the 2023 Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany, in an outfit that’s as accessible as it is chic.

Markle chose to accentuate her waist with a black woven Bottega Veneta belt in lieu of the original dress’s fabric tie and wore a pair of black Aquazarra stiletto heels. Keeping jewelry minimal, she wore a small pair of hoops, a pinky ring, her gold wristwatch, and, endearingly, a beaded bracelet. The personal styling decisions made it all feel more elevated than merely grabbing a black dress off the rack. Plus, they’re all easy to copy, should you be inspired.

For her debut appearance at this year’s “Friends @ Home Event,” a sporting competition celebrating wounded members of the armed services, the Duchess donned a sleek black shirt dress from Banana Republic Factory. While this staple piece typically retails for $140, savvy shoppers can currently snag it for just $70. Markle’s sartorial choice featured a pleated A-line skirt and long sleeves, which she elegantly rolled up to her elbows.
