Meghan Markle is the doyenne of colour drenching, the art of wearing the same colour palette from top to toe. She's no stranger to wearing an entire outfit form the same colour, from camel and creams to deep, luxurious emerald. Her latest venture into colour drenching? Burgundy, worn masterfully for her first official appearance since returning to the UK with Prince Harry.
Meghan oozed luxury with her outfit, with every single piece by a British designer. The 45-year-old chose a Joseph Cashmere coat and roll neck, a skirt by The Fold (£175 / $265) and shoes by designer Jennifer Chamandi, all in the deep, red shade of the season.
Proving her style prowess, she added a Joseph bag in a complimentary tone to anchor the look for the visit to Nottingham with Prince Harry.

The Duchess of Sussex wore her hair up in a ponytail and kept her makeup fresh and minimal, marking a stunning return to the UK.
Burgundy is a shade the mum-of-two has turned to before, often choosing to wear the colour entirely; it's no surprise. as burgundy marks its return every autumn and winter as an alternative to navy, black and grey. Flattering in its tone, burgundy is all over the high street with burgundy coats being one of the in demand items - Meghan's clearly onto something.
