Royals Meghan Markle Recreates Memorable Outfit from Four Years Ago for U.N. Appearance in New York The ensemble also has a connection to the Duchess of Sussex's royal wedding dress By Stephanie Petit Stephanie Petit Stephanie Petit is a Royals Writer and Reporter at PEOPLE. People Editorial Guidelines Published on July 19, 2022 02:57 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Meghan Markle's latest fashion inspiration appears to have come from her own closet! The Duchess of Sussex supported her husband, Prince Harry, on Monday when he gave a speech for Nelson Mandela Day at the United Nations in New York City. Meghan, 40, wore a black pencil skirt by Givenchy (the same brand behind her wedding dress!) with a matching top with elbow-length sleeves. She accessorized with a Mulberry bag and her go-to pinky ring promoting women's empowerment. There's a reason this outfit looks so familiar — it's very similar to a look she wore four years ago during a July 2018 visit to Ireland with Harry. When they touched down at the airport, Meghan stepped off the plane in a chic Ireland-inspired green ensemble. Although she opted for black for the N.Y.C. appearance, she appears to be wearing the same skirt and top combo.

At night, Meghan and Prince Harry got dinner at Locanda Verde in Lower Manhattan. Meghan wore a Gabriela Hearst black strapless jumpsuit with white fold-over trim paired with black heels.

The Duchess of Cambridge's floor-length Roland Mouret gown was also black and featured a white off-the-shoulder neckline. Prince William and Kate Middleton.

During the speech, Prince Harry spoke about his own passion for Africa since his first visit at age 13 — including how it connected him to two important women in his life: his wife, Meghan, and his mother, Princess Diana. "For most of my life, it has been my lifeline, a place where I found peace and healing time and time again," the Duke of Sussex, 37, said. "It's where I felt closest to my mother and sought solace after she died, and where I knew I had found a soulmate in my wife." Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
