The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, made a long-awaited public appearance this weekend, sharing moments of friendship with actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley.
Both were seen enjoying an outing at Meghan’s favorite restaurant, Tre Lune, last Sunday, July 21, 2024.
Although the reasons for the meeting were not specified, the media suggests that their social commitments and charitable work might have been the motive. Both Kimberly and Meghan run foundations dedicated to addressing food insecurity during times of crisis.
This outing by Meghan came just a few days after accompanying her husband, Prince Harry, to the ESPY Awards ceremony.
Meghan Markle’s Style in Montecito
For this occasion, the Duchess opted for a comfortable and elegant summer look. She wore her hair up and sported a classic white shirt by Anine Bing, tucked into relaxed light blue denim jeans by La Ligne.
She complemented her outfit with Chanel flats in beige and black, Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses, and several pieces of jewelry, including a yellow gold necklace by Cartier, another by Ariel Gordon, a Cartier bracelet, her Cartier watch, and a Lorraine Schwartz against evil eye bracelet.
As a nod to her mother-in-law, Princess Diana, Meghan carried her black Dior Lady D-Lite bag, which she has used on other occasions.
However, Instagram users noticed that this was not the only tribute to Prince Harry’s mother.
Some on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram mentioned that Meghan dressed exactly like Princess Diana.
“Diana from 1996 and the Lady Dior Bag is overkill . Cosplaying a dead woman is seriously creepy.
And the jean fold up is unnecessary and daggy. Just a sloppy dresser who believes wearing labels is style or will give it”, mentioned one user.
On X (formerly Twitter), images were also shared showing the similarity between both outfits.
