On Wednesday, the Duchess of Sussex attended the Time100 summit at the Lincoln Center in New York.
In true Meghan Markle style, she oozed understated glamour with her elevated, fashion-forward attire, and one particular accessory she repeated is a timeless wardrobe essential, yet is also so on-trend for spring/summer 2025.
Exuding polished sophistication, Meghan stepped out in a monochromatic moment of elevated businesswear courtesy of American heritage brand Ralph Lauren. She wore the label’s Russell Silk-Linen Twill Jacket and Greer Pleated Pant in a warm tan hue – a modern nod to classic tailoring that perfected understated glamour.

It was her accessories that caught our eye the most with this look. Blending seamlessly with the colour of her suit, she opted for brown accessories from the same colour palette, creating a uniformed ensemble that gave a softer feel, rather than pairing with classic contrasting black.
To match her Ralph Lauren brown and gold belt, Meghan rewore her trusty Manolo Blahnik BB 105 Pumps in the shade ‘Tan Suede’ – her go-to accessory for many occasions, which are perfect for this season.

Showing no signs of slowing down for 2025, from barn jackets and blazers to mini skirts and ballet flats, brands on the high street and the high designer front have released suede iterations of various pieces for this spring/summer.
Proving the versatility of her shoes, last October, Meghan paired them with white, loose-fitting straight-leg trousers and a blue buttoned-down shirt.
