19 Times Meghan Markle Dressed Just Like Princess Diana

The two royals seem to have similar taste

January 17, 2019

Princess Diana was one of the most fashionable women of her time, and Meghan Markle is quickly becoming a royal style icon in her own right. Here, we look back at all the sartorial tributes Meghan has paid her late mother-in-law.

19 Times Meghan Markle Dressed Just Like Princess Diana
FORMAL AND SPARKLING
image

In, 1990, Princess Diana attended a ball at the Royal Lancaster Hotel wearing a flashy Catherine Walker dress. Nearly 30 years later, Meghan Markle stepped out in an eerily similar, glittering Roland Mouret gown.

A BRIGHT COMBO

During a visit to Hong Kong in November 1989, Diana paired red and purple in a vibrant ensemble. Meghan worked with a similar color palette while on a visit to Birkenhead in January of 2019.

A TRIANGULAR PATTERN
image

In 1986, Princess Diana wore this navy blue and white dress while visiting Saudi Arabia. Meghan wore a modern design with a similar pattern while on her first solo engagement as a royal, at the opening of an art exhibition.

PINK COAT DRESSES
image

In 1995, Diana wore a light pink Versace coat dress while visiting a regiment. The Duchess of Sussex wore a modern take on the look while visiting the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition at Southbank Centre in London.

TWINS AT ROYAL ASCOT
image

Both Diana and Meghan looked proper in black-and-white ensembles at Royal Ascot. Meghan chose to wear Givenchy, the same designer she wore on her wedding day, for her first time at the race.

THE PANTSUIT
image

In 1990, Princess Diana stepped out in a blue suit while attending a charity concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Meghan wore a similar power suit by Altuzarra while attending the WellChild Awards with Prince Harry, a ceremony which honors children coping with illness in the United Kingdom.

BLUE AND GREEN
image

In 1987, Princess Diana wore a plaid dress with a lace collar while at the Bute Highland Games in Scotland. Meghan chose a similarly patterned Burberry coat for an official visit to Scotland with Prince Harry during their engagement.

TWINS AT ROYAL ASCOT

Both Diana and Meghan looked proper in black-and-white ensembles at Royal Ascot. Meghan chose to wear Givenchy, the same designer she wore on her wedding day, for her first time at the race.

CASUAL IN JEANS
image

Diana served up some serious ’90s vibes wearing these high-waisted, faded jeans paired with a crisp white button down. Meghan Markle matched the look by wearing a classic white shirt with a pair of her favorite jeans at the Invictus Games last fall.

MATCHING NECKLINES
image

Princess Diana wore her high-necked evening gown to attend a reception at Spencer House in London, while Meghan chose the style as her second dress on her wedding day.

PRETTY IN GLEN PLAID
image

In 1988, Diana picked a sleek glen plaid suit to wear while traveling through Paddington Station in London. Meghan sported an updated version of the look, this off-the-shoulder Theory jacket, during a visit to Wales.

BRIGHT RED DRESSES

While attending the premiere of Julie Walter’s film Just Like a Woman, Diana wore a red silk gown designed by Victor Edelstein. Meghan Markle mirrored the scarlet look during a pre-engagement appearance on the Today show.

TRENDY IN TUXEDOS
image

In 1987, Diana wore a chic tuxedo with hot pink details out to a nightclub. The Duchess of Sussex chose a similar ensemble, a black Givenchy pantsuit, during a visit to Ireland.

GLAMOROUS IN PINK
image

The blush pink Carolina Herrera dress that Meghan wore to Trooping the Colour immediately reminded us of Diana’s off-the-shoulder look for a night out at the Royal Ballet in Germany in 1987.

CLASSIC BERETS
image

Royal women know the value of a good hat. Diana once wore a beret to the Braemar Highland Games, while Meghan wore a white version of the statement accessory at the Commonwealth Day service in London just weeks before her wedding to Prince Harry.

POWDER BLUE PRINT
image

During a trip to Saudi Arabia in 1986, Princess Diana was photographed in a blue-and-white floral Catherine Walker ensemble. This summer, Meghan opted for a very similar Oscar de la Renta dress at a wedding with Prince Harry.

NAVY BLUE BELTED DRESSES
image

Diana wore a sleek navy blue dress while visiting the Tashinkaya Hospital in Moscow in 1995. Meghan chose a similar look while attending a polo match in Windsor.

PINSTRIPES
image

The Princess of Wales once chose a pinstriped blazer over a navy blue shirt for a walkabout in Sheffield. The Duchess of Sussex clearly likes the pattern as well; she wore a pinstriped midi dress from Altuzarra for an appearance at the Commonwealth Youth Forum reception earlier this year.

NAVY LACE
image

In 1996, Princess Diana looked stunning in a sparkly navy blue dress for an evening event. Proving the shade never goes out of style, Meghan wore an equally regal navy lace ensemble years later while promoting her TV show Suits.
