As a member of the Royal Family and a former actress, Meghan Markle has carved out a style aesthetic all of her own. After moving back to California with husband Prince Harry to raise their children—Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet—Meghan has been able to incorporate elements of her relaxed American style into her closet, after following a more formal royal dress code. And in her latest Montecito snap, the Duchess of Sussex showed her diverse style influences, seemingly including Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Gossip Girl icon Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester).
Shared to her Instagram Stories, Duchess Meghan was seen shopping for plants and flowers, pulling along a huge cart filled with both. Notably, Meghan's chic California style was on full display, with the royal pairing classic jeans and loafers with a J. Crew favorite. Paired with Anine Bing Kate Jeans in a classic silhouette, Veronica Beard Suede Penny Loafers, Ariel Gordon Royal Signet Stud Earrings, and a wide headband, it's easy to see a Bessette-Kennedy influence in Meghan's outfit.
