Meghan Markle doubles down and copies Zara Tindall in strategic move | Royal | News

From carefully considered diplomatic dressing to greeting crowds outside hospitals and engaging with patients, to meetings with charitable organisations – the blueprint feels strikingly familiar. And fashion watchers will notice a very specific royal influence behind it.

Those paying close attention will have noticed the royal, 44, appears to be taking a page out of Zara Tindall’s book by championing Australian designers throughout the visit.

The choice was particularly notable given Meghan previously wore the designer during her official 2018 royal tour before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit royal life just two years later.

The Byron Bay-based label, founded by Lara and Matt Fells, is known for its minimalist aesthetic and elevated basics – a direction Meghan has increasingly leaned into.

The tonal outfit struck a balance between relaxed and refined, aligning with the understated approach often seen in Zara Tindall’s off-duty Australian looks.

Day two saw Meghan step into a more high-profile setting as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia. For the appearance, she wore a black blouse by Matteau, teamed with a tailored pencil skirt from Camilla and Marc.

Both brands are well-established within the Australian fashion scene, known for their clean lines and contemporary tailoring.

Meghan’s wardrobe choices reflect a clear and consistent strategy. Much like Zara Tindall, she has used fashion as a subtle yet effective way to engage with the host country, spotlighting homegrown brands while maintaining a cohesive, refined aesthetic.
