Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle appear to borrow each other’s style on occasion.
For example, Middleton recently wore trousers that looked like something the Duchess of Sussex would wear, while Markle has, at times, seemingly found inspiration in her sister-in-law’s travel attire.
Despite their occasional similarities in fashion, however, as glimpses of their outfits for the Queen’s annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace suggest, the duchesses still seem to have their own sense of style.
On Wednesday, Middleton was photographed arriving at Buckingham Palace wearing a bright pink look, while Markle was pictured wearing a darker, lace ensemble.
The Duchess of Cambridge chose what appears to be a pussy bow top
Middleton has worn nearly every colour of the rainbow during royal outings. The baby-pink top she wore to the Queen’s lunch might be one of her brightest looks yet.
Markle opted for a darker, lacy look with a high neck
Because the royal family was not seen outside of their cars, it’s difficult to tell exactly what the duchesses were wearing.
However, it’s clear that Markle stayed true to her old Hollywood style, wearing what appeared to be a navy blue ensemble.
Unlike Middleton’s flowing look, Markle’s lace top has a sheer, frilled collar.
It looks somewhat similar in style to the outfit Markle wore to the 2017 Christmas lunch: the Self-Portrait Nightshade Midi Dress by Jules B., which sold out almost immediately after she was pictured wearing it.
At last year’s Christmas lunch, Middleton wore a black dress, opting for a very different look to her choice for the 2018 event.
Both Markle and Middleton accessorized with statement earrings
Keeping in line with what are considered to be royal jewellery rules, the two duchesses wore luxurious accessories to the event. Instead of flashy gems, Middleton chose to wear long pearl earrings.
On the other hand, Markle opted for circular diamond studs (they aren’t visible in the photo above) that added a touch of sparkle.
