Meghan Markle may have attained the title of Duchess of Sussex when she married into the Royal family, but she has long been a royal when it came to fashion. Therefore, when the Suits actress forayed into the Royal Alley after being a Hollywood elite, her amazing fashion sense was one of the first things that gained attention. So much so that it was reported that her wardrobe burned a hole in the Royal treasury without citing any legitimate sources. Whether that is true or not will always be up for question until King Charles decides to give his own Oprah interview. But we know for a fact that Markle is a fashion inspiration.

Meghan Markle may have only gotten to speak her heart and mind once she had left the Royal family, however, she has long been using her outfits to send a message. However, it was when the face of Maybelline wore almost the same outfit as Markle that her fashion sense gained a blue tick.

Gigi Hadid is a face not only known on the runway but also on the streets. She and her younger sister, Bella Hadid, have been the minds behind some of the most followed trends in fashion currently.

Hadid, much like Markle, is known for her minimalism when she is out and about. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that the two have an outfit in common. Almost. Hadid was spotted grabbing an ice cream this week in a striped button-down. She gave everyone a masterclass in layering as she paired it with similar faded blue mid-shorts.

Meghan Markle turns fashion inspiration for Gigi Hadid

The only difference between Hadid’s and Markle’s outfits was the color difference and the way they paired them. While the Next in Fashion host stunned in light blue vertical stripes, the Duchess opted for a dark blue striped shirt with her jeans.

However, Gigi Hadid wore a black crop top layered with a cotton shirt. Her shirt inspiration has a rich lineage, as it was not only worn by Meghan Markle but also by Oprah Winfrey.
