Meghan Markle's Best Repeated Outfits, From a Bold Purple Dress to a Bespoke Fascinator

For most people, re-wearing an outfit is a pretty standard part of life. But when a member of the Queen's family does it, royal fans take notice. "Any time a royal re-wears something, there’s usually a reason," Christine Ross, the editor of Meghan's Mirror, previously told Town & Country. "They want to redirect the conversation, and it shifts that conversation from fashion to substance."

Since marrying Prince Harry in May of 2018, the Duchess of Sussex has slowly been building up a working wardrobe, and hasn't repeated too many looks at official engagements. That is, until her visit to South Africa in September 2019, when she made a habit of showing up to events in ensembles she had previously worn. It was clear that her intention was to keep the focus on the causes she hoping to champion.

"Every normal person wears their clothing more than once, but these are people who have access to any designer and any style on the planet," journalist and royals commentator Elizabeth Holmes says. "When they choose to re-wear something, it's significant."

With that in mind, here are Meghan's best repeated outfits.
