Duchess Meghan wore an Everlane jumpsuit to a Work In Progress event

Prince Harry has boarded a flight from Cape Town to Botswana. He will undergo several days of touring without Meghan and Archie. Meg and Archie will be staying in Cape Town during Harry’s solo part of the tour. My guess is that Meghan actually did want to go on the other legs of the tour, but she also knew that Archie was too little to do that much traveling. As Harry was on the plane, Meghan stepped out for a solo event with Work In Progress, a work-support organization focused on empowering female entrepreneurs and female-owned businesses.

For this solo event, Meghan wore an Everlane jumpsuit in black, which retails for $120 on Everlane’s site. This is actually a re-wear – Meghan apparently wore this in one of the behind-the-scenes videos for her British Vogue guest-editorship, but this is the first time we’ve seen it at a public event. I like this on her a lot – it’s a simple look but she wears it with an easy sophistication. Plus, I just love the “blank slate” look of a simple black jumpsuit, which makes those Gas Bijoux chandelier earrings really pop.

Last thing: People Magazine wants us to know that Meghan is “so chill and relaxed as a mom.” I believe it. It probably helps that Archie seems like a relaxed and jolly baby too.

    She looks amazing. I love her for glowing in her post baby body. It can’t be easy to face that much scrutiny, but she does it with such grace.

    • MD says:

      Agreed. She looks great and so confident.

    • (TheOG)@Jan90067 says:

      She does look amazing; and that posture…!!! Makes everything look a little better. Her skin just glows. She really has such “Face” !!

      My *only* critique is that she is *so* short-waisted, the thicker belts/sashes she wears just accentuate it and “cut” her. If she left the belt off, or did a skinny belt, it (IMO of course!) would look so much better!

    • PrincessK says:

      Meghan is just gorgeous, she really looks radiant. She is a photographer’s delight. Nobody does casual chic like Meghan, she nails it completely.

    • Redgrl says:

      Wow!!! I love this. Just beautiful and spot on for the type of engagement…

  2. Guest says:

    She looks beautiful! Love the whole outfit/ earrings.

  3. Mtec says:

    Is that a birth mark on her left cheek? I think that’s what people used to criticize her for, “wearing too much bronzer.” But in these pics it looks like it’s actually a birthmark to me.

    • Sarah says:

      Looks like sun damage; I have a similar blotch in the same place. It’s where you never remember to put sunscreen.

    • Beyonce_padthai says:

      Now that you mention it, it does look like a just a more densely populated area of her freckles. If so I love that she doesn’t overcorrect it with makeup. It’s just her face!

    • margedebarge says:

      I never noticed it before but I think you may be right! I kind of hope it’s a birthmark. I have a similarly sized birthmark on my cheek, a bit farther from my ear than hers. I never cover mine up, I love it. In college I used to fill it in with colorful glitter for parties to make it stand out more but I’m a little too old for that now.

    • maxine ducamp says:

      It could be melasma, a form of hyperpigmentation, which I think is more common on olive and darker skin tones. Some women get it during or after pregnancy (it’s sometimes called “the mask od pregnancy), I *think* it might be due to hormones, as I had some small spots during perimenopause. It’s difficult to treat but can go away on its own, but it takes ages.

      • Brandy Alexander says:

        Ugh, I got it during pregnancy too. Only it never went away.

      • Jaded says:

        That’s what I was thinking – I know several women who experienced it during and after pregnancy. It eventually went away with topical retinol and glycolic acid cream.

    • Mego says:

      It’s a discolouration likely due to pregnancy.

    • Le4Frimaire says:

      Some women get dark patches on their face postpartum. Wonder if that’s what that may be. Would love to know what her skin care routine is. She really nails it on the minimalist makeup look. That glow.

  4. Becks1 says:

    this is my favorite look from the tour so far. Classy, chic, simple, with earrings that really pop – she looks fantastic.

  5. MellyMel says:

    She looks great! I have this jumpsuit as well and it’s super comfortable…love Everlane!

    • OriginalLala says:

      I’ve been wanting to try Everlane, whats the quality like? Would you say the sizing runs true to size or on the smaller/larger size?

      • shortycake says:

        The quality is great. I have many pieces and can attest to the brand’s versatility and quality 100%

      • MellyMel says:

        Agreeing with shortycake…the quality is really good! I started with their denim first and have started trying some of the other pieces. Jeans and the jumpsuit I can get my normal size, but I usually go up a size in the t-shirts. Check the comments under their products as well…they’re really helpful.

      • Millenial says:

        Oh I’m going to come in and say the quality is all over the place. I’ve order 4 things from them and returned 2. The shirts are paper thin. The jeans/pants are better, but I still returned one pair of jeans because it had no stretch and gave me diaper butt. I was happy with their wide leg crop pants and I did keep one of their shirts despite the thin material. I would absolutely not recommend buying their white shirts.

        Also, they charge you a lot of money to return items. The jeans I returned were $86 and I only got $77 back. I’m too far away from an Everlane to return in person, so buyer beware. The returns also took 2-3 weeks to process which felt excessive.

  6. Snap Happy says:

    Great look. I know they don’t owe us shots of the baby, but I would love to see just one pic.

    Eta: just saw I missed a post of him!!

  7. M. says:

    I really like this jumpsuit. Meghan is glowing. You can tell that she and Harry are genuinely happy to be in South Africa.

  8. Lisa says:

    Love the jumpsuit. Perfect use of what was already in her wardrobe.

  9. HelloSunshine says:

    She always looks so genuinely happy when she’s doing these events and meetings. She loves what she does and it shows every single time. Love that jumpsuit too and wish I looked that gorgeous and glowing a few months postpartum lol

  10. Lucy says:

    Perfect full look!! Those earrings are magnificent.

  11. HK9 says:

    I want that jumpsuit but I know it’s probably already sold out.

  12. Valiantly Varnished says:

    She looks fabulous in photos from the event on their IG. She’s such a beautiful woman that the simplicity of her hair and makeup with the earrings looks great. I haven’t had an issue with any of her fashion on this trip – mainly because that’s not what the trip is about but also because I feel she has dressed appropriately for every occasion while making sure to not make it about what she is wearing. But she looks great here. I love a good black jumpsuit.

    • Jules2 says:

      Do they use their own private photographer for their IG? I like that the IG focusses more on why they are in South Africa and what they’re doing there v.s. what they’re wearing …

      • Tourmaline says:

        I don’t think so–the other day Tim Rooke one of the royal press photographers said on Twitter they used one of his pictures on their Instagram.

      • Royalwatcher says:

        They’ve also used a pic from Omid Scobie and from PA, so I agree that they don’t bring along their own photographer.

  13. sasha says:

    I love this look. She really suits chic minimalism. Beautiful.

  14. The Original Mia says:

    I love this jumpsuit on her. She looks amazing today.

  15. Jen says:

    It’s a great look on her. It’s inexpensive enough that the haters can’t complain. It’s non-fussy so she can easily work in it. It looks professional.

  16. grumpyterrier says:

    That jumpsuit is amazing- I want it! I have a similar post baby body and this gives me hope. The black is really severe- I would have gone with a navy or dark green but that’s just me.

  17. Lightpurple says:

    Great earrings!

  18. Betsy says:

    She looks great in this but it only serves to remind me that Everlane can’t be bothered to carry plus sizes. They have mens, petites and kids – but only just started going up to 18 recently.

    I wish to be clear that this is a dig at Everlane’s cruddy discrimination and not at Meghan for wearing it. She looks great in it.

    • castletoz says:

      Have you seen that Anthropologie now carries inclusive sizing, I want to say up to size 22, but please don’t quote me

      • Betsy says:

        That’s a great move on their part. Do you know if they still fund forced birther causes? I don’t do business with them, Urban Outfitters or Free People because of their ties to extremist anti choice groups.

    • deezee says:

      I’ve noticed this too. I cannot stand lines that, in this day and age, ignore larger sizes.
      Personally I find it extra annoying as this line pulls together simple, classic deisgns. Finding those items in larger sizes can be difficult. I hate how fashion lines think larger women want blingy cr@p or lacy pieces or whatever “extra” they can add which is either ugly, dated, or suited to the eldery. Ok rant over. 🙂

  19. RoyalBlue says:

    I prefer when she does engagements on her own rather than with Harry as she really looks comfortable and confident in the leadership role.

  20. Flying Fish says:

    She looks great. I am happy to see that she losing the baby weight at her own pace.

  21. DaisySharp says:

    I really want those earrings. But I just bought myself a fancy screen door this morning. I really want them though.

  22. Le4Frimaire says:

    Love this outfit and the one she wore for Bishop Tutu. Both look really good on her and seem more polished than the other looks.

  23. sue denim says:

    I don’t think anyone’s mentioned this yet in these threads, but Kate’s worn fast-fashion problematic clothes like Zara, while Meghan seems to be trying for sustainable and/or locally crafted fashion like this choice. More kudos to her if so…

  24. liriel says:

    Chic! Maybe still a bit not flattering for her frame but a huge improvement.

  25. Bahare says:

    I love her looks when she seems confidant and radiant like here. Although I don’t know in detail what was specifically worn when and there is nothing wrong in repeats if appropriate for the event. I do have a serious question. Is it ever implied by critics that if you wear a lot from previous tours and events that you value the appearance less because it is a repeat ? I am not saying it should or shouldn’t but I have wondered about this.

    • MsIam says:

      Critics will always have something to say whether it’s all new or repeats. And she’s worn new stuff and old so it’s a good mix. When I travel I do the same, mix in some new pieces with my old reliable stuff.

  26. Micki says:

    Oh my!!! I am currently on a business trip and speaking at an informal reception tonight that is “smart casual.” I was planning on wearing this exact jumpsuit!! At least I know I’m in good company.

  27. Katebush says:

    This is her best outfit on this trip so far. She looks polished and professional I love it!

    I also love her glowing skin she really looks so healthy and radiant (I know I’m sounding like a super fan now lol)

  28. Tourmaline says:

    Love the earrings–she usually sticks to really small delicate earrings so this is fun to see.

    • MsIam says:

      Didn’t she wear these in Morocco too? They look like the ones she wore with that blue dress to meet with the king.

  29. SpilldatT says:

    She looks great, it’s hard to hide that lovely smile of hers. But honestly that jumpsuit is just bad and does her body no favours. And no I’m not body shaming her, she is perfectly fine, just the jumpsuit makes her look weirdly boxy. And she definitely is not boxy at all.

  30. MeggyMeg says:

    She’s gorgeous! I love the hair, make-up and cat-suit. So stylish and sophisticated. But most of all I adore her charm and glow in these pics. This tour is going to be another success for the Sussexes.
