Ever since announcing her engagement to Prince Harry, the worlds eyes have been fixed on Meghan Markle — and her style. Well be following the Meghan Markle Effect™ with our column, “Meghan Markle Wore a Thing. ”
The Church of England has blessed us with two (2) official Meghan Markle appearances this week, her most recent occurring on Thursday evening — i. e. , exactly one month away from her royal nuptials to Prince Harry.
“BUT WHOS COUNTING, HAHA? ! ”, we try to ask casually as we stare at an oversized May calendar with the 19th circled in fat red ink.
After wearing Altuzarra for a Commonwealth reception on Wednesday, Markle broke out a new cocktail dress for another reception, this one to celebrate “female empowerment” at the Royal Aeronautical Society.
The structured, asymmetrical LBDcomes courtesy of Los Angeles-based contemporary label Black Halo— its the “Jackie O Belted Dress,” which retails for $375 and, of course, instantly sold out —which she accessorized with a pair of Birks $1,595 “Diamond Swirl Earrings,”Guccis $830 “Dionysus Suede Super Mini Bag”and her go-to “Milano Cutout Suede Pumps,” from Aquazzurra.
Meanwhile, her beauty look: Markles messy-ish bun has polarized certain corners of the fashion and beauty industries. (We like it! Others, who may prefer something more traditionally coiffed, do not. ) But shes clearly going to keep working that updo, haters be damned — and tonight, she wore one with a sleeker middle part and curled tendrils coming down the side.
Do you, Megs!
