Trench Dresses: Timeless and Tailored
In July 2018, Meghan stepped out in a blush pink, sleeveless trench dress by House of Nonie during a visit to the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition in London. The cinched waist and double-breasted design gave her a polished yet modern look.
Almost two years later, Melania appeared at a National Day of Prayer event in May 2020, wearing a khaki-colored trench dress by Dior. Her outfit, much like Meghan’s, featured a belted waist and a streamlined silhouette, reinforcing their shared preference for structured yet feminine styles.
Double-Breasted Coats: A Cold-Weather Staple
Meghan was seen in April 2018 at an Anzac Day dawn service in London, wearing a custom gray Matthew Williamson coat. The structured fit, wide lapels, and double-breasted buttons added a refined touch to her understated ensemble.
Two years later, Melania showcased a nearly identical aesthetic, choosing a gray Altuzarra coat for a Victory in Europe Day ceremony in May 2020. With its structured shoulders and tailored silhouette, her coat mirrored the same elegant simplicity Meghan had embraced.
Statement Accessories: Hats and Belts
In June 2018, Meghan attended Trooping the Colour in London, pairing her pale pink Carolina Herrera dress with a chic straw slice hat designed by Philip Treacy. The minimalist yet structured design added a modern flair.
One year later, in June 2019, Melania wore a similarly sophisticated Philip Treacy hat in cream during the D-Day 75th-anniversary event in Portsmouth. Like Meghan, she paired it with a sleek, structured coat for a timelessly elegant look.
In November 2019, Meghan continued her love for striking accessories, wearing a wide-brimmed black hat to the Remembrance Sunday event in London. Paired with a cinched-waist coat, the overall look was sharp, refined, and military-inspired.
Melania, too, embraced statement accessories at her husband’s presidential inauguration on January 20, 2025. Wearing a tailored navy coat with military-style buttons, she opted for a sophisticated Eric Javits hat—an elegant yet slightly different take on Meghan’s wide-brimmed style.
