Is Meghan Markle taking style cues from Princess Mary? As the Duchess of Sussex sports a VERY similar look to the Danish royal - a look at their matching fashion
- Meghan Markle wore a one-shouldered Grecian gown by her wedding dress designer, Givenchy, on Monday
- The dress was similar to something worn by Crown Princess Mary on a state visit to Germany in 2010
- This isn't the first time the Duchess of Sussex has worn something that is similar to the Australian-born royal
- From similar puffer jackets to matching geometric print skirts, FEMAIL looks at the pair's very similar style
Meghan Markle might cite Audrey Hepburn and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy as her top style references.
But recent outfits - and the Duchess of Sussex's chic look at the British Fashion Awards on Monday night - might just be proof that Meghan could also be taking style cues from Australia's own Princess Mary.
The Duchess plumped for a one-shouldered black gown by Givenchy for the event, which called to mind a similar outfit worn by Princess Mary on a state visit to Germany with her husband, Crown Prince Frederik, in 2010.
And not only this, but both paired the Grecian gown with chunky gold jewellery and a slicked-back, centre-parted bun.
Of course, this isn't the first time the pair have dressed alike. Since Meghan married Prince Harry in May, she has been thrust into the spotlight in a similar way as Princess Mary - and so has had to adapt her wardrobe accordingly.
Here, FEMAIL takes a look at the royals' similar wardrobes.
Meghan (left) wore a black Givenchy dress by her wedding dress designer Clare Waight Keller to the British Fashion Awards on Monday and paired it with a chic bun and chunky gold jewellery. Crown Princess Mary (right) wore a similar outfit nearly ten years ago when she visited Germany on a state visit with her husband, Crown Prince Frederik, in 2010
While both royals' dresses clearly featured different hemlines, this is not the first time the Duchess of Sussex (left) has channelled Denmark's Crown Princess Mary (right) with her outfits
Exude elegance like the Duchess of Sussex in a dress by Givenchy
Just when we thought the 2018 Fashion Awards couldn’t contain any more famous faces, out stepped the Duchess of Sussex!
Speaking to an audience of the greatest fashion designers, stylists and models, she presented the Womenswear Designer of the Year award to Claire Waight Keller. It was a lovely gesture, seeing as Claire created her iconic wedding gown earlier this year.
For the event, the Duchess opted for a bespoke one-shoulder dress by the French fashion house, teamed with gold jewellery by Pippa Small and heels by Tamara Mellon.
You can’t go wrong with a black dress for an evening out and this version is proving that, sometimes, less is definitely more.
Although it isn’t available to purchase, you can treat yourself to something from the current collection at NET-A-PORTER by clicking (right).
Alternatively, recreate the look in one of the variations lined up below. With sleek options ranging from Boohoo to Diane von Furstenberg, there’s something to suit every budget.
The Duchess of Sussex's chic wedding dress (left), also by Givenchy, was a global sartorial hit and featured a chic boatneck. Crown Princess Mary (right) wore a similar style when she wed Crown Prince Frederik fourteen years earlier in 2004 - and her dress was by the designer, Uffe Frank
Princess Mary (left) wore a custom skirt made with recyclable materials by Designers Remix to the Copenhagen Fashion Summit in May 2018. The Duchess of Sussex (right) later wore an extremely similar skirt by Club Monaco to the society wedding of Charlie Van Staubenzee - one of Prince Harry's best friends - in August 2018
Princess Mary (left) attended the Roskilde Festival in 2014 wearing a chic puffer jacket and jeans. Meghan Markle (right) also wore a similar look when she sported Prince Harry's puffer on the Redwoods Tree Walk in Rotorua in New Zealand in October
Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik attended the wedding of Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Countess Stephanie de Lannoy in Luxembourg in 2012 (left) and she wore a maroon peplum jacket. Meghan Markle (right) plumped for a similar style by Scanlan Theodore for the basketball final during the Invictus Games in Sydney in 2018.
Crown Princess Mary (left) wore a cream belted dress to attend A Luncheon At The Governor Macquarie Tower in Australia in 2005. Meghan Markle (right) wore a similar mid-length dress with a thin black belt on one of her first royal engagements following the wedding when she attended a ceremony to open the new Mersey Gateway Bridge in 2018 with the Queen
It's possible the Duchess of Sussex took inspiration from Princess Mary's chic two-toned belted shirt dress (left) - which the royal wore to meet the President and First Lady of Mexico in 2016. Meghan Markle wore a stylish Givenchy look for the 2018 Royal Ascot, and won plenty of style plaudits for her choice (right)
