The 40-year-old looked angelic in the white wool two-piece suit, featuring an oversized blazer with a double-breasted fit and straight-leg trousers. It turns out that the pearlescent hue of the look is especially symbolic during this time of year as the colour is representative of Easter.

The colour white symbolizes purity, light, grace and in a biblical sense, the resurrection of Jesus Christ – the event that Easter celebrates. Not only that, but the bright hue also looks mesmerising on Meghan.
