Duchess Meghan has a wardrobe that would be enviable to fashionistas the world over, what with her Givenchy dresses, J Crew coats and more pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes than even Carrie Bradshaw could fathom.
But despite the extravagant, and seemingly unattainable list of glamorous items donned by Markle since she married Prince Harry, all is not necessarily lost for those hoping to dress like royalty.
Indeed, Meghan’s stunning Givenchy one shoulder dress worn as she made a surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards earlier in December looked every bit as regal as the royal herself, but it was the striking accessories paired with her look that really had our heads turning.
The Duchess of Sussex looked stunning as she took the stage at the British Fashion Awards.
Indeed, Markle’s statement gold jewellery made by jeweller Pippa Small is surprisingly affordable – her stud earrings cost AUD$87 while her bangles are priced from AUD$200 – time for a Christmas splurge anyone?
But that’s not even the best part – the jewellery comes from a very special collection made by artisans in Afghanistan, and Prince Charles is behind it all.
That’s right, the collection, named the ‘Turquoise Mountain Collection’ came from the Turquoise Mountain Foundation which was started by Prince Charles in 2006.
The Foundation works in Afghanistan, Myanmar and the Middle East to help create meaningful creative jobs for young people in the area.
With this in mind, Meghan choosing to wear these special pieces is a particularly sweet gesture towards her father-in-law’s passionate charity efforts.
