£360k ...oh baby, THAT was a pregnancy wardrobe!

-

Since announcing her pregnancy, the Duchess of Sussex has been photograph­ed in at least 75 outfits.

But not for her the stretchy dresses or comfy leggings most of us would favour when expecting. instead, Meghan has brilliantl­y navigated a pregnancy in the spotlight without forfeiting her impeccable fashion credential­s. Avoiding most of the usual maternity brands, she’s stuck to bespoke, custom-made outfits by her favourite designers — some of the biggest fashion names in the world, including Dior, Givenchy and Valentino. coming in at £361,070, her maternity wardrobe is rumoured to have cost almost seven times more than the Duchess of cambridge’s. Her choices have been eclectic as well as expensive. With an extraordin­ary mix of styles, shapes, lengths, details and accessorie­s, nothing has been predictabl­e. The one consistent factor has been Meghan’s signature colour palette — navy, cream, white and black, with the occasional splash of a block colour such as the red Sentaler coat, matching heels and purple Aritzia dress for a royal visit to Birkenhead. Here, DINAH VAN TULLEKEN casts an eye over Meghan’s maternity wardrobe and puts a value on each outfit, including shoes, accessorie­s and jewellery . . .
