For the snap, Meghan donned the Khaite 'Francine' jersey maxi dress in cream, retailing for £780 / $980. The bridal-inspired, sleeveless garment features a deep V-neckline and an elegant low-cut back. The former Suits actress layered an intricate white lace bra beneath the dress. 

The simple, off-white number is a sold-out piece from Khaite's past season. However, the fashion label has brought out a very similar, newer version of the dress. The Khaite 'Nonya' crepe satin slip dress, retailing for £1,945 / $2,200 is available in all sizes.

The Duchess Of Sussex Returns To Instagram As She Looks Forward To The New Year
The Duchess of Sussex has started 2025 with her first Instagram account since 2020. Posting on January 1 under the username @meghan, Harry’s wife shared a video of herself at the beach, wearing white and drawing 2025 in the sand.

Meghan oozed glamour as she paired her gown with a luxurious Logan Hollowell diamond 'Fortuna' tennis necklace. The $30k diamond necklace is crafted in 18k gold and encrusted with frosted, dainty diamonds. The gleaming accessory stole the show as Prince Harry's wife opted for no earrings, while her dark locks were swept to the side in effortless soft waves. 

Meghan beamed with a large smile in the black-and-white photograph, which was taken outdoors, while opting for her synonymous minimal and natural makeup. The beautiful portrait was captured by her friend, photographer Jake Rosenberg.

It is not uncommon to see the Duchess in a bridal white look as her fashion palette often focuses on neutral hues. In 2022, Meghan donned a custom Louis Vuitton midi dress that featured an off-the-shoulder cut and a draped split skirt for her attendance to the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Gala at the New York Hilton alongside her husband, Harry.

Who could forget the sensational custom Oscar de la Renta white halterneck gown Meghan wore to the ESPY awards  back in July. The elegant silk number featured delicate embroidery and was accessorised with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and black Celine heels. Meghan's luscious tresses were tied back in a sleek bun to reveal a pair of sparkling diamond stud earrings.

Meghan surprised the world on New Year's Day and she posted on her page bearing the handle, @meghan. The Duchess's first video depicted her running across a beach dressed in white jeans and a flowing white shirt before she inscribed '2025' into the sand.
