Happy birthday, Meghan Markle!
The Duchess of Sussex turns 44 today, August 4. And since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we’re always taking style notes from her classically polished wardrobe. From wide-leg linen pants to beach-ready matching sets, Markle has mastered that California-chic vibe we want to copy.
In honor of her special day, we did a little duchess-inspired shopping for lookalike pieces that channel four quiet luxury styles she wore during her most recent trip around the sun. Take a look at our top picks from Nordstrom, Amazon, Quince, and more starting at just $14.

Earlier this summer, Markle’s summer style shined in an airy beach set. This laid-back, cotton gauze button-up looks very similar with its lightweight look and oversized fit. It can easily be worn over a swimsuit or tank top, and don’t forget its matching shorts to capture the whole look.

Linen is the material we want to live in all summer — and the duchess got it right with her wide-leg Ralph Lauren pants. While hers will run you about $2,500, we found this similar style for just $39. With front pleats, a high waist, and an elastic back, they look modern and polished, and as one shopper noted, the cotton-linen blend fabric is “very breathable.”

Back in February, Markle attended the Invictus Games wearing Veronica Beard skinny-flare jeans. While her pair goes for around $300, we found a great deal on these jeans for less than $60. They come in a dark wash, have a comfortable stretch, and the bootcut design does a great job at elongating your legs.

Got somewhere more glamorous to go? Channel Markle’s red carpet look from the Paley Honors Gala, where she wore a gorgeous black gown by Christian Dior. Meghan dazzled in the designer gown paired with diamonds — but you can look just as regal in this dress we found for $65. It has a sweetheart neckline, flirty slit, pleated bodice, and floor-sweeping length that exudes modern elegance.
