All the Times Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton Took Style Notes From Each Other

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are both fans of emerald green. Kate wore her fabulous Catherine Walker above-the-knee dress in January 2018 to have lunch with the king and queen of Sweden. Meghan wore a matching blouse by & Other Stories and Boss-brand green leather skirt during her first visit to Sussex with Harry. 

Even when they're playing sports, both duchesses look picture-perfect. Kate Middleton shot some hoops at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Meghan, who was wearing heels, dazzled as she tossed around a basketball at a sports awards ceremony in September 2018. 

No matter the color, both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle know how to rock a floral dress. Kate wore an ultra-feminine light pink Kate Spade dress in October 2016 to attend World Mental Health Day events. Meghan wore a flirty green Self-Portrait dress in April 2018 for her husband's Invictus Games, which is a competition for disabled members of the military.

Nothing feels more quintessentially British than tartan — and even American-born Meghan knows how to rock it. The Duchess of Sussex wore a tartan coat designed by Burberry in February 2018 while attending her first official royal engagement. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a similar tartan-patterned dress on a visit to St. Andrew's School, her alma mater. 

The royals have a history of wearing zany hats and fascinators, and the duchesses are keeping the tradition alive with their own fashionable headgear choices. At a celebration to mark the centenary of the Royal Air Force, Kate and Meghan wore very different but equally stunning fascinators that perfectly matched each woman's sense of style. 

It's not just the queen who can rock a neon monochromatic look! Kate wore her canary yellow dress while watching tennis at Wimbledon in July 2018. Meghan wore a similar eye-catching design, created by Brandon Maxwell, that same month at a reception in London. 

A little black dress is a closet basic every woman should own — but how do you keep it from looking boring? Kate and Meghan both know how to up the glamour factor on any LBD by adding an eye-catching element. The sheer sleeves on Meghan's Givenchy gown show a tasteful sliver of skin without being risqué, making it the perfect outfit for her first solo royal engagement in September 2018. Kate wore an equally lovely black Jenny Packham dress in 2014 at a reception in New Zealand. 

Meghan is known for her affinity for power suits, but Kate's no style rookie: The Duchess of Cambridge can style a polished blazer and crisp slacks like no one else. The Duchess of Cambridge was steady on her feet in June 2017 at a boating event. Meghan strutted around a field on a visit to a sports organization in July 2018. 

Kate, who's known for recycling outfits, rewore a beautiful pale pink Alexander McQueen to attend an exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in May 2016. Meghan donned a blush-colored sleeveless trench coat dress, designed by Canadian brand House of Nonie, in July 2018. The Duchess of Sussex was attending an exhibit to celebrate what would have been Nelson Mandela's 100th birthday. 

The off-the-shoulder (and royal-protocol-breaking) dress Meghan wore to her 2018 Trooping of the Colour debut seems to have inspired Kate Middleton's latest ensemble. The Duchess of Cambridge's pale blue frock, which she wore in on a casual outing with her kids in June 2018, had a more conservative neckline than Meghan's, but it still ever so slightly showed off Kate's delicate shoulders.

Long before Meghan was a royal, she and Kate showed a similar taste in fashion choices. On the third day of her royal tour of Canada in September 2016, Kate wore a gorgeous red dress reminiscent of the red dress Meghan wore to a few months earlier in July of that year to a taping of the TODAY Show.  

The blue wrap dress Meghan wore to an Instagram dinner in May 2016 reminds us of the fabulous dress Kate wore to show off the engagement ring Prince William gave her in 2010. 

In 2014, Kate attended Plunkett’s Parent’s Group dressed in a print similar to the one Meghan wore to the USA Network’s Upfront event in 2013. 

Kate wore a longer and darker version of the exact same Diane von Furstenberg design Meghan wore to a USA Network event in 2012. 

What pairs best with a geometric skirt? A white blouse, of course. It looks like both Kate and Meghan had the same idea on this occasion. The Duchess of Cambridge strutted her stuff in a Banana Republic below-the-knee skirt in May 2016, while the Duchess of Sussex walked the red carpet in January 2014 wearing an equally stunning knee-skimming skirt.
