As we welcome October, there’s a distinct shift in the atmosphere. Even the sunniest of fashionistas are swapping their sunny ensembles for sophisticated winter attire in head-to-toe monochrome. A prime example is Meghan Markle—the queen of Montecito’s camel cashmere staples—who traded her signature neutrals for a stunning after-hours ensemble from Armani, rocking a powerful suit at Project Healthy Minds’s World Mental Health Day Festival in New York last night.
It has been an exciting week in fashion for the woman who recently inspired us to make resin flower ornaments and create our own bath salts. Just last week, she electrified the audience, debuting at Balenciaga’s Paris Fashion Week spring 2026 show in a breathtaking custom white cape. In an age dominated by social media, where megastars often feel disengaged with millions of followers, Markle’s appearance in Paris showed us that no one can captivate both online and offline audiences quite like a royal can.
