Why the red cape dress Meghan Markle wore to Royal Albert Hall looks so familiar

The Duchess of Sussex is farewelling her life as a senior member of the British royal family in serious style.

Meghan, 37, has been turning heads at her final engagements with husband Prince Harry, with whom she will embark on a new 'working model' away from the monarchy from March 31.

On Saturday, the Sussexes attended the Mountbatten Music Festival at Royal Albert Hall, with Meghan wearing a floor-length red gown that perfectly corresponded to Harry's Royal Navy uniform.

If you've been gazing at photos of the royal outing, thinking, 'Hang on... haven't I seen this dress before?', you're very much on the money.

The gorgeous gown is extremely similar to the blue caped dress Meghan wore during the 2018 royal tour of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.

Both dresses are designed by British label Safiyaa, which describes its trademark look as "striking silhouettes in luxe fabrics and rich colours"

Meghan, who was in the early stages of pregnancy at the time, chose the cornflour blue version for a state dinner in Fiji, hosted by the country's president.

The style has proven popular with royal fans and fashion commentators on both occasions — clearly, Meghan knows when she's onto a good thing.

Safiyaa is seemingly becoming a go-to label for Meghan, who wore a long black skirt from the collection to the Royal Variety Performance in November 2018.

On Saturday night, Meghan accessorised the brand's Kalika Long Dress — which retails for £1,295 ($2559) — with heels and a clutch in a corresponding shade of red.

Two days earlier, the Duchess wore an equally striking gown to attend the Endeavour Awards in London.

She opted for a electric blue fitted pencil dress by her designer friend Victoria Beckham, teamed with navy Manolo Blahnik stilettos and a Stella McCartney clutch.

On Friday, Meghan wore a more budget-friendly outfit for her visit to the National Theatre, choosing a blouse from high street retailer Top Shop.

She paired the top, which is quickly (and predictably) selling out, with a sightly more upmarket garment — a white Roland Mouret pencil skirt.

With her departure from royal life imminent, time will tell if we'll see Meghan return to the personal style she showcased during her years as an actress, before the restrictions of dressing like a duchess...
