While the Princess of Wales is famous for repeat wearing, her sister-in-law the Duchess of Sussex often recycles her wardrobe, too. Before she joined the royal family, Meghan – naturally – would rewear key staples, from her green J Crew jacket to her trusty Kamik snow boots, which were essential during her time in Toronto.
After marrying Prince Harry, the Duchess continued to repeat looks at high-profile events, using her platform to send a powerful message on the importance of sustainability (it’s worth noting that Meghan has championed a series of eco-friendly brands over the years as well).
Memorable looks include a blue shirt dress from Veronica Beard, which she wore during a visit to Toga and then South Africa, as well as purple midi-dress from Aritzia, which she debuted while pregnant with Archie.
Every Time The Princess Of Wales Has Reworn A Dress On The Red Carpet
More recently, Meghan rewore a yellow Carolina Herrera dress during a tour of Nigeria, which she was previously pictured in when announcing her pregnancy with Lilibet in 2021, as well as a white Altuzarra blazer that she debuted during her visit to Sydney back in 2018. Meanwhile, at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala, the Duchess revisited a red Valentino gown that she first wore at the Salute To Freedom Gala in New York – this time wearing it without the overskirt.
Below, see Meghan’s best repeat looks to date.
