Though the Invictus Games is about the participants, Meghan always ensures she makes the effort to dress up for the occasion.

In 2022, the mother of two attended the sitting volleyball event during the Invictus Games at Zuiderpark in the Netherlands where she rocked blue skinny jeans with heels and a cinched wraparound blazer by Brandon Maxwell.

One of Meghan's best daytime looks to date also fell during the 2022 games – which were held in lieu of 2020. She styled a cropped Celine jacket with rolled-up Moussy mom jeans and classic Chanel ballet flats.
