So, you’ve probably heard it’s one of the trickiest dress codes to figure out—what do you wear for your first Christmas Day with Queen Elizabeth and the entire royal family? If you're Kate Middleton, chances are you're going for a high-neck, lace, navy-blue dress from brands like Reiss or French Connection. But if you're Meghan Markle, well, you go all out with a rich burgundy velvet dress, reportedly from the Canadian brand Club Monaco. Talk about making an entrance!
Now, here’s the scoop: royal sleuths (yes, there’s a whole community of people who live for this stuff) were able to pinpoint the exact dress Meghan wore as she headed to church in Sandringham on Christmas Day. These eagle-eyed fans managed to catch a glimpse of what Meghan was wearing underneath her stunning Sentaler camel coat, paired with sleek knee-high beige boots. By the way, I can’t help but notice that Meghan seems to have a thing for those slouchy knee-high boots, much like how Kate Middleton rocks her signature nude court shoes.

The Club Monaco dress Meghan chose is nothing short of perfect. It features a modest below-the-knee skirt, a belted waist, and those elegant ruched cap sleeves. According to the brand's website, it’s described as the ideal "day to night" dress. And honestly, can you think of anything better than a comfy, flattering velvet dress, especially in a festive shade like burgundy, to make a great first impression on your new in-laws? I think not.
The Brand’s Reaction
The brand behind the dress was clearly thrilled with Meghan’s choice. They took to Instagram to share their excitement, writing, “A very short-term [#FlashbackFriday] to Christmas Day, when we got a peek at the lovely @MeghanMarkle wearing our velvet Tay dress to visit the royal family.” If you're thinking of getting your hands on this iconic piece, it’s still available on their website, retailing at approximately $298 with a 30% discount. Not a bad deal, right?
Meghan’s Love for Canadian Brands
Meghan’s choice of Club Monaco isn’t surprising. The California-born actress, who embraced Toronto as her home while filming seven seasons of her hit legal drama Suits, has always been a champion of Canadian fashion. She’s been spotted in pieces by brands like Aritzia, Mackage, and Line the Label. And just like her future sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, Meghan has this magical ability to make anything she wears an instant hit, often causing websites to crash and items to sell out.
