Meghan Markle Channels Jackie Kennedy in Custom Emilia Wickstead for Anzac Day
Meghan Markle joined her fiancé Prince Harry and soon-to-be brother-in-law, Prince William, for today’s Anzac Day memorial in London at Westminster Abbey. For today’s occasion, which commemorates fallen Australian and New Zealand soldiers during World War I, Markle wore a custom skirt suit from Emilia Wickstead, a favorite designer of her future in law, Kate Middleton.
The retro silhouette featured a cropped, boxy jacket that was sprigged with red poppy, a symbol of remembrance for the servicemen and women who lost their lives in the war. The below-the-knee skirt had an elegant ‘60s vibe, indeed the look was reminiscent of the fashionable American First Lady Jackie Kennedy overall.
This latest turn demonstrates Markle’s growing sense of ease and confidence with her fashion choices for royal engagements. The demure suiting came with just the right directional touch thanks to its textural feel, while ladylike accessories—a Phillip Treacy fascinator and simple stilettos—finished the ensemble with regal polish.
