So far, Ms Markle's public appearances have been in very classic outfits, with sleek tailoring and Kate Middleton-inspired simplicity, so this is a much bolder look for her.

The square neckline of her Altuzarra Audrey Belted Midi dress is very 1920s, while the double-breasted buttons and fine pinstripe detailing is apparently influenced by '1980s corporate culture'.

The asymmetric style and slim straps are pretty fashion forward and unusually daring for a royal appearance. The dress costs £1,450.

She teamed the dress with sky-high Paramour Tamara Mellon suede stilettos (size 39) - on sale for £333.

And she nodded to the military trend with a double-breasted blazer draped over her shoulders, the Dimmer Blazer by Camilla and Marc, £491.

Ms Markle completed the look with a Oroton bag - the Avalon Zip Top Crossbody (£171) - very far from the Mulberry bags and varieties of clutch we normally see the Duchess of Cambridge sporting.
