Today is Prince Louis' christening, and now that she is part of the royal family, Meghan Markle was on hand to help celebrate. She and Prince Harry arrived holding hands (opens in new tab) to St. James's Palace, where Prince Louis will be christened (opens in new tab) by The Archbishop of Canterbury (opens in new tab), the Most Reverend Justin Welby. (He already has six godparents (opens in new tab) named!) For the momentous day, Meghan wore an olive green belted Ralph Lauren dress, green Manolo Blahnik pumps, and a Stephen Jones fascinator of the same color.
The dress hue definitely veered towards neutral-color territory (perhaps she did not want to attract too much attention?), especially compared to the sunshine-yellow Brandon Maxwell dress (opens in new tab) she chose for the 'Your Commonwealth' Youth Challenge Reception last week. Meanwhile, Pippa Middleton wore a blue collared dress (opens in new tab) while Kate Middleton stunned in a cream-colored Alexander McQueen dress (opens in new tab).
The Duchess of Sussex has curated quite the stylish wardrobe, which is paid for by the royal family (opens in new tab), by stocking up on Queen E-approved basics such as clutches, beige pumps, fitted skirt suits, and sleek dresses. While Meghan's christening look was fairly safe, she has taken risks with her fashion choices where she can. For example, she opted to wear an off-the-shoulder look at Trooping the Colour (opens in new tab) and traded in flats and heels for brown sandals (opens in new tab) (that showed her toes!) at Prince Harry's polo match (opens in new tab).
If you're excited to see more of Meghan's royal style this month, you won't have to wait too long. She will visit Ireland tomorrow and Wednesday with Prince Harry, and Lord knows her outfits will definitely be the talk of the town.
