Meghan Markle has rewritten her own fashion playbook during her visit to Australia, bringing back a look she once insisted was a thing of the past.
Stepping out at Swinburne University in Melbourne, the Duchess of Sussex paired her elegant ‘Anya’ dress from Australian brand Friends with Frank.
In a 2024 interview with Bloomberg’s Emily Chang, Meghan had been candid about her former royal wardrobe, admitting that wearing nude pantyhose during her time as a royal never quite felt “herself”.
She even joked that she hadn’t seen them “since movies in the 80s”, describing the look as something that felt out of step with her personal style at the time.
The outing itself focused on more serious issues, with Meghan and Prince Harry engaging students in a conversation about the realities of social media and its impact on mental health.
They have both been vocal about online wellbeing, listening to young people share their experiences while encouraging open dialogue around digital pressures.
The Sussexes are set to head to Sydney next, where the Duchess will go on her much-publicised ‘Her Best Life’ retreat.
