Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has once again proven her penchant for luxury fashion, showcasing a wardrobe worth over $86,000 in 2023.
This figure marks an increase of $4,121.48 from the previous year, continuing her upward trend of fashion expenses since her departure from the Royal Family in 2020.
A Royal History of High Fashion
During her tenure as a working royal, Meghan’s fashion choices were a subject of international interest. Prince Charles covered the cost of her designer ensembles and fine jewelry from the budget of the Duchy of Cornwall. In 2018, her clothing bill totaled almost half a million pounds at $406,662.55. With her departure from royal duties in 2020 and subsequent financial independence, the source of funding for her wardrobe remains a topic of speculation.
Iconic Fashion Moments of 2023
Throughout 2023, Meghan’s public appearances were marked by her immaculate style and high-end brands. Her most notable outfits included a $2,000 Altuzarra ensemble showcased at the Archewell Foundation Parents Summit and a stunning combination of a Max Mara Lilia coat and Chanel 19 Flap bag, totaling over $7,000 during International Women’s Day.
These fashion moments are indicative of Meghan’s commitment to maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic.
Designer Ensembles and Recycled Accessories
Whether attending events like the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany, or casual outings in Montecito, California, Meghan consistently paired new garments from brands like Carolina Herrera with both fresh and recycled accessories.
Her 2023 fashion journey was a blend of luxury, sustainability, and personal style, further solidifying her position in the fashion sphere.
