The Duchess of Sussex (41) and the Princess of Wales (41) are two stylish representatives of the monarchy who have inspired millions of women when choosing their wardrobe. Meghan uses tricks to imitate Kate’s figure, and this technique can be replicated by any fashionista. Personal stylist and founder of The Wardrobe Consultant, Halle Abrams, noted that in this way, Prince Harry’s wife imitates the ideal proportions that Kate Middleton naturally has.

“This is a technique that many stylists use to make their clients look slimmer. Megan is slightly shorter than Kate and her shoulders are narrower. He uses amazing tools in his clothes to create an optical illusion,” said Halley.

The Duchess of Sussex has demonstrated the technique at a number of events, including her most recent visit to the UK as a royal and even on her wedding day. “Meghan chooses clothes that cover the width of her shoulders. Even her wedding dress had a boat cut in the neckline, which optically creates width in the upper part. Similarly, Meghan wore a stunning red Safiyaa dress to the Mountbatten Music Festival in March 2020. It creates the desired effect as it has a mock neck and cape. They’re trying to visually create the silhouette that Kate naturally has,” Abrams explained.

The stylist noted other outfits of the former American actress, which optically increased the width of her shoulders. At the Robert F. Kennedy Ripples of Hope human rights gala last December, she wore a white Louis Vuitton dress that drew attention to the vertical line of her shoulders. During Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral, Meghan wore capes with the same optical illusion.

“Meghan Markle is far from the only one using this trick. Stylists often use this technique on pear and apple shapes to make the waist look slimmer,” Express quotes the specialist.

Fashion stylist Miranda Holder celebrated another adoption by Prince Harry’s wife. Meghan often wears cropped trousers and rolled up jacket sleeves. “This little move is very clever as it reveals the thinnest parts of her body, her wrists and ankles. This accentuates her slender figure, no matter how many layers of clothing she is wearing,” said the expert.
