The Duchess of Sussex was seen on August 3rd, the eve of her 42nd birthday, leaving a restaurant in Montecito alongside her husband, Prince Harry.
Forty-two candles. It's in an Italian restaurant in Montecito, the city where they reside near Los Angeles, that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle celebrated her birthday a few hours early. For the occasion, the American chose a summery and casual outfit: a strapless striped black and white bodycon dress. The form-fitting and ankle-length design reveals the actress's silhouette. It's a dress from the brand Posse priced at $239, approximately 220 euros. Naturally, it's already out of stock. Meghan Markle chose to pair it with flat black calf leather sandals, a bronze clutch previously seen in her hand from the brand Cult Gaïa, as well as a pair of gold earrings from Tabayer. A simple look for a birthday that promised to be equally uncomplicated.
The discreet comeback wardrobe
For her 40th birthday, Meghan Markle had gone all out. The actress had organized the 40x40, a mentoring program to support women in the workforce after millions of them had lost their jobs during the Covid crisis. In a video call, she had received celebrities like Adele, Melissa McCarthy, or Sophie Trudeau while wearing a beige lounge ensemble - complemented by a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes. Since then, the couple has distanced themselves from the British royal family, and Meghan Markle keeps a lower profile on her birthday.
Although without any flashy displays or outbursts of style, her appearance this year holds a completely different resonance. On August 2nd, amidst rumors of a separation swirling in the tabloids, the couple surprised their critics by presenting a united front in a new video released on the website of their foundation, Archewell. Demonstrating their closeness through a range of smiles and knowing glances, the pair sported coordinated beige outfits that exuded a controlled neutrality. Two days later, as Meghan Markle persists and reaffirms this chic yet understated look in a striped dress, a message of loyalty is read between the lines.
