Meghan Markle Wore a Butter Yellow Suit and Chic Suede Heels

While Meghan Markle, tends to keep her styling simple and sophisticated, the , Duchess of Sussex is not entirely immune to the temptation of a new trend. However, she does have a particularly strong knack for making even the season’s most directional pieces feel impressively timeless.

Stepping out in New York, Markle emerged in a summer-ready outfit that championed three of the season’s most pertinent trends with the ease of a seasoned stylist. Her look began with a draped linen suit in the softest shade of butter yellow. With one elegant sweep, she nodded to the colour that dominated the spring/summer 2025 runways—and has quickly taken off in real life, too—while keeping the rest of the palette harmoniously pared-back, creating a tonal moment that felt fresh, easy to wear and entirely current.

While the butter yellow shade caught my eye instantly, it was the textured linen fabrication that made it linger. Linen, summer’s perennial favourite, adds a relaxed polish to even the most tailored of pieces. Its breezy structure makes it the perfect companion for humid city days, offering breathability without compromising on elegance.
