The Duchess of Sussex made a glamorous return to the spotlight this month, joining her husband Prince Harry at the 2023 Invictus Games in Düsseldorf and bringing a fleet of stunning sartorial ensembles with her. 

Meghan, 42, was a style muse long before she met her husband, namely thanks to her major role in legal drama, Suits. From gracing red carpets to rocking a business babe aesthetic on and off screen, the Californian-born star's paralegal persona Rachel Zane most definitely influenced her immaculate style.

The Duchess' Suits co-star Patrick J. Adams took to Instagram on Monday to share a heartfelt message directed at Meghan and another co-star, Sarah Rafferty.

 "I miss my friends." wrote the Canadian actor, sharing a photo of Meghan and Sarah from their Suits days.

In the unseen snap, Meghan donned a caramel-toned suede mini skirt and crisp white shirt as she reclined on the floor with her legs in the air. 

The mother-of-two, who was just 29-years-old when the first episode of Suits aired, let her glossy raven hair fall into a pool of curls as she looked up at the camera. 

Patrick's photo was later followed by a gallery of headshots of his co-stars, including one of the Duchess of Sussex. "Don’t give us hopes. Is Suits coming back? After The Office announced, this feels like a legitimate possibility…" questioned a fan in the comments.
