Meghan Markle mixes it up with non-matching earrings
The American star also wore trousers by a Welsh firm for her visit to Cardiff.
Meghan Markle showed she was already setting her own royal fashion trends when she carried out her third official engagement with Prince Harry.
The American actress-turned-royal-fiancee wore different earrings in each ear for her trip to Cardiff.
MadAboutMeghan, who blogs about Ms Markle’s style, branded it “the fashion surprise of the day”, saying: “Meghan mixed it up by wearing a different earring on each ear.”
In her left ear was a line of three joined gold stars, thought to be Gabriela Artigas’s Triple Shooting Star Earrings, costing around £209 a pair.
Neither the Queen nor the Duchess of Cambridge have been known to “mix it up” by opting for different earrings, keeping it classic instead with matching pairs.
The firm is based in Cardigan in west Wales and was set up in a former denim factory which closed after 35 years, leaving 400 people unemployed.
“To use all that skill on our doorstep and to breathe new life into our town.”
The company, which said it has a confidentiality agreement with its clients, said it had been inundated with calls since Ms Markle’s appearance.
The American star also wore a long, black £1,350 Stella McCartney tie detail coat with peak lapels, a V-neckline and oversized waist tie.
Ms Markle was carrying a £295 DeMellier Mini Venice handbag in green Forest Grain colour, and was wearing Tabitha Simmons Kiki boots.
DeMellier handbags support an initiative called A Bag, A Life.
For every bag purchased, the brand funds lifesaving vaccines and treatments aimed at saving the life of a child in need, in collaboration with orphan charity SOS Children’s Villages.
The funds are administered through the charity’s medical programmes in countries such as Somalia and Zambia, where one in six children do not live to see their sixth birthday.
