Maggie Marilyn white tuxedo dress
Get the Look: White Tortoise button blazer dress, Forever21 faux suede pumps
Since her wedding in May, Meghan Markle has chosen a number of unique looks, including wearing not one, but two different tuxedo dresses. And while we loved her black tuxedo dress that she wore to see a special performance of Hamilton, we were really enamored with her white Maggie Marilyn tuxedo dress that she wore during a visit to Wellington, New Zealand.
While this dress was custom-made for the Duchess of Sussex, there are actually a lot of options out there when it comes to finding the perfect tuxedo dress. Not only are there options like the duchess’ including the V-neck and lack of sleeves that she wore in New Zealand, but there are also long sleeve options, and even a variety of colors and styles (such as a wrap tuxedo and unique necklines).
Although the duchess chose a dress that featured white buttons over the white body of the tuxedo style, the dress we found features tortoise buttons that give an added pop to the look. Much like what Meghan Markle wore, this dress is also quite short, hitting mid-thigh. And at just $50, this is one look we think you will love on a budget.
Plus, if you want to find a heel that is a budget-friendly option over the Manolo Blahnik heels that the duchess paired with this dress, then we have to recommend the faux suede pumps from Forever 21. These shoes cost just $20, which means that for just under $100, you’ll be able to recreate this look from the duchess’ first official royal tour.
