Duchess Meghan, whose enviable wardrobe would total an eye-watering sum, just stepped out in a dress that looks a million bucks.

It’s a common scene from the stylish royal – and most of the time her dresses are in the triple digit cost category.

But there’s something different about this one – and it’s got us running to the stores.

The pregnant Duchess of Sussex attended an engagement in London on Wednesday, January 16th wearing a gorgeous beige dress and overcoat.

To provide context, whenever the former Suits star steps out in a new outfit like this, fans and followers alike have flocked to find the designs online to lust after.

But you might be doing more than just lusting after this look – in fact, you’ll probably be hitting ‘add to cart’ before you can say Jimmy Choo.

The reason? Her fitted high neck knitted dress is from high street brand H&M, and it’s worth $39.00.

And while she did pair it with an Armani coat worth a cool $3,000, you can’t deny the dress also looked just as chic.

So where can you get your hands on one?

Well, unsurprisingly the exact style worn by Meghan has sold out.

BUT, that doesn’t mean you’ve missed out. H&M and other high street brands are renowned for bringing certain styles back into stock when they’ve sold out in the past.

And in any case, the same dress in another colour is still available on the website – you’d better be quick though!

The elegant off-shoulder dress was in fact from British high street store Marks & Spencer, and would only set you back $94.00.

It didn’t come as a surprise thereafter when the dress almost immediately sold out.

Meghan’s red polka dot dress

While on her royal tour of Australia in October 2018, Markle stepped out in Queensland in a summery red polka dot dress – and it was safe to say we were enamoured.

The design by affordable label, & Other Stories, which is branded under the H&M group, looked comfortable, chic and perfectly practical for us folk in warmer climates down under.
