Just a few days after having stunned us in a sequin top [1] at the Royal Variety Performance, Meghan Markle [2] stepped out in London for a solo appearance. On Wednesday, the Duchess of Sussex visited the Hubb Community Kitchen to see how the funds raised by the Together: Our Community Cookbook — which she launched back in September [3] — are making a difference. For the occasion, she wore a preppy burgundy dress from Club Monaco that featured a Peter Pan collar, and she paired it with a matching coat, black tights [4], and black Givenchy ankle boots [5].
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Meghan's ensemble immediately reminded us of a burgundy dress Kate Middleton wore [6] at the same time last year, while she was pregnant with Prince Louis. Could the Duchess of Sussex — who is currently pregnant with her first child [7] — be taking maternity style tips from her royal sister-in-law [8]? We certainly hope so. Read on to get a closer look at how Kate and Meghan both styled their burgundy dresses, and get details on Meghan's relaxed beauty look [9].
