Onlookers were given only a glimpse of her yesterday, on the first day of the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, but today Meghan Markle made her return to the spotlight as a member of the Royal Family – albeit for only a few days.
The Duchess of Sussex made her long-awaited return to royal life to take part in celebrations, and instantly made headlines.
Markle travelled to the UK with her husband, Prince Harry, and the couple's children – three-year-old Archie and almost-one-year-old Lilibet – earlier this week after speculation as to whether the couple will be involved in the Jubilee celebrations.
Although neither were present on the balcony for yesterday's Trooping the Colour, the pair were spotted watching the festivities from a window alongside other members of the Royal Family.
For that event, Meghan wore a feminine off-the-shoulder navy gown and a dramatic large cream hat with an asymmetric brim and a navy ribbon. Her hair was worn down in sleek waves, while her makeup was bronzed and glowy.
For today's event, however – the national Service of Thanksgiving for the Queen at St. Paul's Cathedral – Markle wore a dazzling ivory coat dress and matching accessories, marking a return to the formal style she used to wear as a senior royal.
Markle's dress featured a matching belt at the waist, a subtle cape detail on the back, elongated collar and three-quarter length sleeves. The coat fastened at the top under the dramatic collar, creating a sleek and striking look.
She paired this with matching ivory pointed toed stilettos, a woven-style hat that dipped over one eye and cream gloves. She added a touch of sparkle with her Birks diamond stud earrings.
Her hair was worn in a sleek bun that was gathered at the base of her neck, while her makeup was typically Meghan: a bronzed, glowing complexion that let her freckles show through, a rosy blush, dark smokey eyeshadow and a nude glossy lip.
