While Meghan Markle has been rocking affordable brands from J.Crew to Banana Republic at the Invictus Games 2023 this week, she surprised royal fans by stepping out in a Zara romper Friday after reportedly ditching the brand in her “Suits” era.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, wore the ecru ensemble — which is a past-season item from the fast fashion brand — with a matching oversized blazer to take in the events (and celebrate Prince Harry’s 39th birthday) at the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany.
While she went with a bargain one-piece look, Markle stuck to her Invictus formula of pairing attainable brands with designer accessories, wearing a pair of black YSL sandals ($725) with Bottega Veneta hoops ($305) and a $995 gold Brilliant Earth pendant featuring her astrological sign, Leo.
Her choice of brands is an interesting one, as Markle is famously said to have thrown a “Sayonara, Zara” party after she landed her role in “Suits,” during which she “gave away the lower-priced clothes in her closet to her guests,” per Vanity Fair.
