Meghan's Mirror

Chronicling the Chic, Classic and Casual Style Duchess of Sussex (the former Meghan Markle)

April 24, 2018

Meghan Markle Attends Anzac Day Dawn Services

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended services commemorating Anzac Day in London today. Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders “who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations” and “the contribution and suffering of all those who have served”.

The Anzac Day service in London began at dawn (5am BST) at Wellington Arch. An early morning for Meghan and Harry – and the many who gathered to commemorate the day. While today’s events were most certainly not about the clothes, as a fashion blog that is the aspect we’ll cover. You can get lots of great coverage of Anzac Day and the significance of the important day here.

After some criticism about her lack of hat (and coat) at recent events, Meghan’s look today for the memorial event was was markedly different. She paired her slim cut Smythe coat with a “floppy” black hat, and let her hair fall down under it. People are divided over the coat itself, however it perfectly suited the somber occasion. The floppy hat was Meghan’s distinctive style touch – a floppy hat is very different than the standard fascinator!

Coat: Smythe Pagoda Jacket, from the Fall 2018 collection (Currently unavailable, however the shorter version is here)
Hat: Black Hat, TBC
Heels: Sarah Flint Jay Pump 
Dress: Long-Sleeve Black Midi dress, TBC
Clutch: Black Gucci Dionysus Velvet Mini Bag

    Hello, her shoes are the Sarah Flint Jay Pump – I recognize the sole and block heel, as I own a pair.

    Love the look. To my opinion this look fits to the occasion. I really hope that for the church service she will cover her shoulders and if required by the royal protocol her head too.. As much as I really love Meghan and her look most of the time, I think she should try to change the royal dress code at 360 degre but go step by step. she is there for a very long run with Harry she has time to turn whatever she wants in a most modern way . Now she gets too much criticisms on inappropriate dressing to the occasion and i am afraid it will remove the focus on the messages and actions she will understake.

    the old Meghan. It’s her first really royal outfit and while a good try, doesn’t quite hang together.

    I love that she’s chosen a pale shade over a black outfit and not all dark. But the coat seems to pull across the chest and droop at the back and the hat looks too wide and heavy over the whole. Is it meant to reference an Ozzie bush hat perhaps? I love those shoes, but with a much decorated coat, via buttons and pocket flaps, the contrast heel is a detail too many.

    Still, I have to hand it to Meghan at being prepared to attend this sort of thing at 5 o’ clock in the morning. She’s clearly a trooper!

      Oh dear, could I try that first par again? ‘As I feared, without straggling hair, open coat front or tie belt, maybe we are seeing less of the old Meghan. It’s her first really royal outfit and while a good try, doesn’t quite hang together.’ *blushes*

        Hi Bertie
        Think Meghan is still in transition looking for the right balance by staying true to herself and respect the royal dress code, while not turn into a Kate Il. To my opinion she will master it as she goes. Good luck to her.

    Thanks for the info! I loooove those heels everytime she wears them. They’re simple and classic but still have nice flair.

    Not my favorite outfit at all, but with an event like this, I’m not expecting amazing. Playing it safer is key!

    Oh dear, did Meghan borrow one of Kate’s coats? While it’s completely appropriate for this event, I really don’t care for all the buttons and flaps, it’s much to busy. I would have liked to have seen her rewear her black Stella McCartney coat instead.

    I am really liking the hat though, very Meghan. While I don’t care for the coat, Meghan’s overall look this morning was nice and appropriate.

      I wonder if buttons & flaps & all reference a military theme for fallen soldiers, perhaps. Not saying you have to like them, of course, just that they might have been chosen for context!

      This isn’t a Kate coat. If it was, it would be tailored to look more flattering.

        I don’t know about more flattering, but Kate d9n’t actually wear,coats as coats but as dresses, so more fitted and structured. Meghan wears coats as coat, which really serves as a very good contrast with Kate’s style.

    Eek – not my favorite look. That’s a lot of coat – wide lapels, capped shoulder, contrasting buttons, TWO rows of pockets, vertical seaming, a dropped hem and a very long coat. Whew! I like the shoes and hat.

    Thanks for the link to more information about Anzac day!

    The hat is great and I love that the shoes have the interesting detail on the heel…it adds a little something to a basic black pump and saves it from being boring. I am not sold on the coat. I like the idea of it, and the grey color, but it seems pretty big on her…not in a slouchy way, either. There is a LOT of bunching in the sleeves, too. She is so petite, she really needs to avoid piling so much extra fabric on herself.

    Wow you people need to get a life, how would you like you outfits criticizes. In your opinion she is never dress right for any occasion. In reality it dosen’t matter she is still marrying Prince Henry on May 19. If I remember right not all of Princess Diana and Kate outfits were perfect. It must be nice to sit at you computer and pick apart every detail of Meghan outfits.

      Yes indeed, very nice. This is FASHION blog. We are here for the clothes. There are many blogs about cars, and trucks and fiahing rods, or cooking recipes – some of us venture to those other blogs too and nitpick there.

      Hi Willette,

      First of all, thanks for taking the time to come to our blog and read about Meghan’s fashion choices. We’re a blog dedicated to chronicling her fashion selections and offer our readers a place to discuss her choices in an open, free and fun way.

      I’m sorry to hear that you don’t think that our community is something that works fro your interests. While I do agree with your thought that it’s sometimes very easy to forget that Meghan is a real person when you’re commenting behind the anonymity of a computer screen, I believe you may have missed the point of our previous commentators who were simply expressing their opinions about her choices – something we strongly encourage.

      Our readers are lawyers, teachers, stay-at-home moms, academics, bankers and women from all over the world. They most definitely have lives – full, dynamic and fabulous ones – and find a little bit of fun in looking at Meghan’s choice in fashion. We hope that you have some way in your life to blow off a little steam and enjoy yourself, too.

      Have a wonderful day.

      – A

    Is she wearing hose? When I saw these photos in the DM this morning I immediately noticed her legs. Normally they’re shiny and warm, but it looks to me she’s wearing hose, since they tend to photograph a bit lighter in the flash of a camera than they do during warm sun. I swear she’s wearing hosiery. Also, this to me screams, “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.” Not my favorite outfit. I think the hat would work with her hair up in a chignon, and possibly with that little black power dress she wore the other day that was so chic. I have not been impressed with most of her fashion choices, but I think she’s chic and I absolutely adore watching her delve into new styles.

    I love how she looked all day. Chic, solemn, unique. But the lower half of that grey coat had a strange cut/hem – was it longer in the back than the front? I need to see that with a 360 view. Cool floppy hat- very her and also fit for occasion and hour.
