Meghan Markle Pays Fashion Tribute To Princess Diana At Charity Capsule Collection Launch!
09/12/2019Meghan Markle is back — and she’s used her time out of the spotlight to find the perfect marriage of her flair for fashion and her favorite charitable cause, helping women achieve equality.
Oh, and along the way she paid tribute to hubby Prince Harry‘s late mother as well.
How did the Duchess of Sussex accomplish all this in a single morning? She launched a capsule collection she’s calling The Smart Set!
See, Meghan is a royal patron of Smart Works, a charity service which aims to help unemployed women get jobs by making sure they look and feel their best. Women who have job interviews coming up meet with volunteer stylists who help them pick the perfect outfit — and they get to keep the designer clothes for free!
It’s a very practical charity, but they’re always in need of new stylish clothes. That’s where Meghan — and YOU — come in.
Meghan’s capsule collection is made up of handpicked pieces from Jigsaw, John Lewis & Partners, Marks & Spencer, and Misha Nonoo — and in return all those brands are giving back.
For every piece purchased from The Smart Set, one will be donated to Smart Works, meaning you can help out some women in need while helping yourself look amazing! In a statement Meghan said:
“Since moving to the UK, it has been deeply important to me to meet with communities and organizations on the ground doing meaningful work and to try to do whatever I can to help them amplify their impact.
When you buy any item in the Smart Set Capsule Collection for Smart Works, the same item will be given to a Smart Works client, and with it, the confidence and support she needs to enter the workforce and take an important step in building a career.”
What do the clothes look like? Look no further than the Duchess herself, who wore the collection to the launch!
The white button-down shirt is from Misha Nonoo, the sleek black trousers are from Jigsaw — both part of The Smart Set. The brown belt and pumpkin heels are her own additions.
Oh, there was one more personal touch.
Meghan also wore butterfly earrings which once belonged to Princess Diana. Pics were hard to come by as the Duchess wore her hair down — perhaps purposely trying not to draw attention to the sentimental accessories. However, she has worn them before, during her and Harry’s trip to Australia and Fiji last year:
So sweet!
After her speech, Meghan jetted right out of there. She was overheard explaining to some women present:
“I’ve got to get back to the baby, it’s feed time.”
She may be back to work, but she’s also a working mom!
