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

July 11, 2018

A Style Recap of the Royal Visit Ireland

After a whirlwind two day visit to Dublin, Meghan and Harry have returned home and we are left catching our breath and looking back at the style that was for the Royal Visit Ireland. The key themes for this trip? Modern, fresh and bespoke. Royal Reporter Omid Scobie reported that Meghan’s friend and stylist Jessica Mulroney made a quick trip to the UK to help Meghan pick out some of the looks for the tour… And it looks like Jessica’s fresh take knocked it out of the park.

The visit kicked off with the green bang of a bespoke Givenchy skirt and blouse upon arrival to Dublin. We loved that it paid homage to Ireland in the green colour, and also that Meghan returned to a fashion house she’s obviously developed a good, close working relationship with.

Following the couple’s arrival to Dublin, they attended a garden party at the British Ambassador’s residence. Changing into a chic, sleeveless black dress, we were all surprised when it was revealed to be a bespoke design by British designer Emilia Wickstead, who had made comments about Clare Wight Keller possibly “plagiarizing” elements of her design in Meghan’s wedding dress. Controversy aside, we know that Meghan looked very chic for one of her first evening engagements as a royal.

The next morning was an early meeting with the President of Ireland and his wife – and their dogs! Meghan wore a stunning bespoke Roland Mouret dress, the same designer as the Barwick dress from the night before her wedding. The colour of the dress was hotly debated – was it grey? Was it green? But in any event, it was gorgeous… And we’re on team grey.

And as quick as the dress was spotted… It was gone! Meghan changed into a much more versatile pantsuit, bespoke by Givenchy of course, for a day full of culture and athletic events which required something slightly less formal than the morning’s dress. Meghan wears a pantsuit so well, and it really suits her. (See what we did there?)

Our favourite looks? Amanda’s is the green Givenchy outfit from when they stepped off the plane in Dublin.

“I think it set a great style tone for the rest of the trip – and what I love most about it is that the look could be relatable to many women. I could see myself wearing this to a business meeting, for example, and looking great while doing so. The price tag is slightly eyewatering, so I’d definitely MirrorMeg, but I can’t blame Meghan for taking advantage of the fashion opportunities in front of her.”

Christine’s favourite? The Emilia Wickstead from the Garden Party.

“When Meghan stepped out in the black Emilia Wickstread cocktail dress, we really saw her show-stopping powers for the first time – literally, the show stopped to see Meghan in all her elegance. The look was very feminine, simple, and classic but you couldn’t miss the way everyone’s gaze turned towards her. She also sent an incredible message wearing Wickstead again, telling the world that she wasn’t going to fall into tabloid gossip or fodder. The simple dress, the choice of designer, and the elegant ensemble really showed off Meghan’s inner Princess.”

    She looked great but her clothing budget must be high

    My goodness MM how you’re spoiling us with a fashion recap so soon!!! I love it, keep it up!!

    Honestly I don’t know if I could pick a favorite, all these outfits are gorgeous, they fit Meghan and her style to a tee and yet are all so different I just can’t decide. Personally, I rather thrilled about the pantsuit combo simply because I have the same style in my closet and it will probably be worn tomorrow!! Other than that gosh all these dresses are stunning and are so Meghan that I just can’t decide. I can’t wait however to see what everyone else picks.

      I would LOVE IT if you made a poll! But I’ll scroll through answers if you don’t 😉

      For me it’s the green separates. And that bag she carried while wearing them was gorgeous.

    The garden party outfit. Can I also vote for the RAF ceremony outfit even though that wasn’t in Ireland ?.

    I’m with SSM on creating a poll.

    My favourite and standout was absolutely the arrival outfit. That green, the bag, the shoes. Loved it. On the whole a very elegant, classic but modern wardrobe for the trip.

    I’m not fashion maven but I think you mean a black sleeveless dress rather strapless because she definitely has straps on that Wickstead dress. Anyway, I thought Meghan’s entire Ireland wardrobe was great.

      Ditto. That’s not a strapless dress. Perhaps it was just written in haste.

    I would have given her a perfect score if not for that horrible bumpy, lumpy, boob-mangling bodice on the Mouret. Loved the green dress, the Wickstead was a great choice, and I really like how she rocks the chic black pants suit. But, oh, the Mouret, a travesty of fit.

      I agree. It looked like she was wearing a strapless bra that was too small.

    There was a question about how Meghan kept her Ralph Lauren tucked in so well … perhaps it was a bodysuit?
