As the long-anticipated sixth and final series of The Crown lands on Netflix Thursday, it marks the debut of a young actress who is surely destined for the bright lights of Hollywood.
The Crown: Who is Meg Bellamy, who’s playing Kate Middleton?
But as 21-year-old Meg Bellamy hits small screens in the role of a student Kate Middleton, she is also hot property for fashion houses around the world who are tripping over themselves to style her.
Since she was announced for the role as the royal fashion icon last year, Meg has been making appearances at fashion shows and glitzy events, showing off her style prowess in statement outfits.
While she may be following in the Princess of Wales’s footsteps as a style icon, Meg is carving out her own sleek image – opting for simplicity with chic black outfits and the occasional pop of colour.
Meet your new face of Dior
It was also revealed this week that the 21-year-old star on the rise has recently signed a deal to become the new face of Dior – a position that was falsely linked earlier this year to Meghan Markle.
That’s not all: Cartier, Valentino and Jaguar are all deeply enamoured with Meg Bellamy. In further signs that her lifestyle has become fit for a princess, she’s been a guest at some of society’s most glittering events.
A Netflix insider told the paper: ‘They have been queuing up for Meg, she is playing the most famous woman in the world in a globally famous television drama, so many labels and brands want some of that.
‘She is a total unknown, but she is being treated like Kate, an A-list princess.’
This year, Meg has been spotted at some very exclusive events wearing show-stopping outfits, as top fashion brands scramble to hang their clothes on Netflix’s new star.
