Meghan Markle dons £2,000 Luna Skye studs with £620 Hermès trainers as she attends her first afternoon of events at the Invictus Games

Meghan Markle stepped out in sporty chic style at the Invictus Games in Germany today.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, joined the Duke in Dusseldorf yesterday, and since then, has attended several events at the Games.     

She was snapped during the Swimming Finals at Rheinbad this afternoon, beaming as she high-fived the Games’ mascot Buddy (who is modelled on the German Hovawart dog breed).

Mother-of-two Meghan opted for minimalist style, donning a fitted black cigarette-style trousers, and a sleeveless black top.  

She finished the simple ensemble with a pair of £620 cream Hermès Get sneakers, made from canvas and calfskin, and emblazoned with an ‘H’ motif.

And she added some bling to the outfit with a pair of £2,000 Luna Skye earrings, shaped like leaves, and boasting baguette diamonds.

Earlier today, Meghan put on a leggy display as she headed to the Games with Harry.

The Duchess  proved she can mix high street and high end in $98 J Crew linen shorts and a black tank top which she paired with a £177 J Crew blazer, Givenchy belt and £910 Chanel shoes.

Adding even more glamour to the look as she headed into the arena to watch the wheelchair basketball, the royal wore Princess Diana’s  £17,800 Cartier watch and a $62,000 Lorraine Schwartz pinky ring made with ‘diamonds gifted from the Middle East’.

She added her £5,000 Cartier love bracelet to the look as she walked hand-in-hand with her husband.

Meghan has opted for a mix of high street and high end looks on her trip so far.

The former royal has worn the £910 goatskin cap toe slingbacks and £450 Givenchy belt on many occasions, including on one her first ever royal engagements.

She sported the shoes recently while walking in California with an anti-stress patch on her wrist.

A further touch of glitz was brought to the outfit by her mysterious pinky ring, which was made by celebrity jeweller Lorraine Schwartz and is reportedly worth an estimated $62,000. 

There have long been questions about the origin of the pinky ring, which Meghan has worn on a number of occasions.

In 2021, Prince Harry and Meghan denied claims that the band was fashioned with diamonds gifted to the couple by a mystery donor in the Middle East – before clarifying that they were referring to a different ring.

They initially said the piece was sourced by a stylist on the shoot directly from the designer and that there was no link to a mystery donor in the Middle East.

But in a spectacular U-turn, they later rolled back the denial, and clarified that they were referring to a different ring.

There was no further mention made of the Lorraine Schwartz ring in question on her right hand, begging the question of whether Meghan has something to hide about the provenance of the diamond, which was first seen on her finger in October 2020.

If the diamonds did indeed come from the Middle East, it’s not clear if Meghan received the gift while she was still a working royal, or after she performed her final official duties in early March 2020. 

Yesterday, the Duchess of Sussex looked radiant in a black shirt dress from Banana Republic, costing £112, as she joined Prince Harry on stage.

Meghan stunned in the simple yet chic black frock with button detailing down the front and belted at the waist as she joined her husband on stage at an event on the second evening of the 2023 tournament.

She paired her dress with black pumps and wore her thick brunette locks down and brushed behind one shoulder.

As she delivered a speech onstage just hours after landing in Dusseldorf, Meghan had Harry by her side, who looked equally smart in a black suit and dark blue shirt.

The pair looked relaxed as they attended the private Invictus event, which is hosting competitors and their family and friends, and is sponsored by Amazon.

Meghan’s evening glamour look follows her travel chic outfit as she flew from LAX to Dusseldorf, with a brief stopover at London Heathrow.

Spotted boarding her first flight in LA, the Duchess looked effortlessly stylish in her $770 ivory Valentino mules, black baggy three-quarter-length trousers, a V-necked long-sleeved top and oversized $500 Celine sunglasses on her head while carrying a trademark hat.

She was clutching a $2,650 Goyard tote bag while her solo bodyguard was lugging a rucksack and dark suit carrier that may have contained one of Meghan’s dresses.

Known for her quiet-luxury outfits, often monochrome, dazzling red-carpet dresses and sharp suits, Meghan’s wardrobe combines designer royalty from Valentino and Celine to Manolo Blahnik, Chanel and Cartier with some affordable finds from Self Portrait and Aritzia.

Many of her big style moments have been at the Invictus Games where she famously made her debut back in 2017 wearing ‘The Husband’ shirt by Misha Nonoo just months before the pair’s royal engagement.
