Meghan Markle and Melania Trump are two of the most recognizable women in the world, and despite their vastly different backgrounds, they share an unexpected similarity: their fashion choices. Over the years, both the Duchess of Sussex and the former First Lady have stepped out in outfits that bear a striking resemblance to each other.
Though their roles and public personas differ, their wardrobes share striking similarities. From dramatic gowns to tailored coats, their fashion choices often overlap in ways that are hard to miss. Below, we’ll look at their most memorable overlapping style moments.
Roland Mouret Dresses: Elegant Coincidence?
In July 2018, both Meghan Markle and Melania Trump made waves by stepping out in remarkably similar dresses from designer Roland Mouret—just days apart. Meghan, during her first international tour as Duchess of Sussex, wore a sleek, beige Roland Mouret dress with a boat neckline while visiting Ireland.
Shortly after, Melania arrived in the UK for her first official visit as First Lady, donning a nearly identical dress by the same designer. Her version maintained the same clean, structured lines but included a bold red belt for contrast.
Cape-Sleeve Gowns: A Statement Look
Melania made a statement in June 2019, arriving at a Buckingham Palace state banquet in a striking red gown featuring an elegant, flowing cape. She kept accessories minimal, allowing the bold silhouette to take center stage.
Less than a year later, in March 2020, Meghan opted for a similarly eye-catching look at the Mountbatten Music Festival in London. Her vivid red Safiyaa gown mirrored the cape-like silhouette, creating a coordinated appearance alongside Prince Harry’s military uniform.
Embellished Evening Dresses
During a diplomatic reception in Morocco in February 2019, Meghan shimmered in a silver cape gown adorned with delicate beading along the sleeves—an understated yet glamorous look.
Melania took a similar approach at the White House Congressional Ball in December 2019, selecting a full-length gown with intricate embellishments and a flowing cape, making her presence truly captivating.
