Meghan Markle uses four tricks to flatter her figure - including cap sleeves, V-neck and midi length - Daily Mail

Meghan Markle has used four wardrobe tricks to flatter her figure during her royal Africa tour, a stylist has claimed. 

The Duchess of Sussex, 38, stepped out in yet another shirt dress as she visited a Johannesburg art studio on day eight of the Africa tour today.  

The royal, who arrived without son Archie, four months, or husband Prince Harry, opted for a $148 (£120) button-front midi dress in indigo by designer, Aritzia.  

The mother-of-one paired the shirt dress with red suede slingbacks, which retail at £129 by Everlane, and accessorised with a distinctive pair of studded black earrings she picked up in Cape Town from a local 'ethical' designer, Pichulik, for just £46.  

Speaking exclusively to FEMAIL, a host of stylists have revealed the royal's wardrobe tricks - including a shirt dress to show off her hourglass figure, midi length to hide unwanted attention, v-neck to show off a nipped-in waist and cap sleeves to add femininity.

'The best thing about these shirt dresses is that they are very flattering to many people's figures,' explained expert Rochelle White. 'They have a good fit and with Meghan she is making smart choices on the tailoring and fit of each of her dresses.'

SHIRT DRESS

Meghan donned a vintage-style ensemble, inspired by a traditional house dress, made from drapey fabric with a pebbled texture, for the visit to a Johannesburg art studio today. 

And it's not the first time she's opted for a shirt dress during the 10-day royal Africa tour - as she wore a floor-length olive outfit during a visit to Auwal Mosque on Heritage Day on September 24.

She also donned the same loose-fitting £525 Veronica Beard 'Cary' dress when she arrived at District 6 museum in Cape Town on 23 September, as she did in Tonga while pregnant with Archie last year. 

According to stylist Susie Halser, who runs Styled By Susie, the shirt dress is the perfect option for an hourglass silhouette because it shows off their 'perfect proportions.'

'Meghan wore a blue belted shirt dress which accentuated her tiny waist. This is also a nod to her chic style and personality,' she said.  

'It's feminine with just the right amount of masculinity to make it a powerful piece to wear. It ensures she looks slick and timeless without too many frills or fuss.' 

V-NECK

During the royal Africa tour, the mother-of-one has also opted for several ensembles with a V-neck finish - be it a dress or classic jumpsuit.

She styled a chic £100 jumpsuit by Everlane when she visited the African not-for-profit organisation 'mothers2mothers' during day three of the royal tour on September 25 in Cape Town.  

'She has beautiful curves and a nipped-in waist and should choose cuts that show this off,' explained Susie. 

'A V-neck is flattering for her shape because high necklines on an hourglass can add bulk to the bust and upper body.'

She added: 'It shows off her beautiful décolletage and balances out a conservative midi-length dress beautifully.'

MIDI LENGTH 

The royal also opted for a $148 (£120) button-front midi dress in indigo by designer, Aritzia as she arrived at an art studio in Johannesburg last week

Another style loved by Meghan in recent days is the midi length dress or skirt, which stylists suggest help to hide any unwanted attention.

The Duchess attended an engagement in Cape Town wearing an eye-catching monochrome ensemble, which comprised a £145 J.Crew midi -skirt and £66 tank top by Misha Nonoo, at the weekend.

The minimal yet chic knit was characterised by an elasticated waistband, A-line silhouette and contrasting stripes that created the illusion of pleats. 

'A midi length is practical and conservative, while still being bang on trend,' explained Susie. 

'This allows Meghan to wear flat pumps or wedges as it works with any shoe. It also conforms to the royal dress code of modest hemlines.'

CAP SLEEVES 

Meghan Markle opted for a £370 wrap dress featuring cap sleeve detail by Canadian brand Club Monaco to meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu in Cape Town on September 25 (pictured together with Archie)

Meanwhile, the Duchess wore a £370 wrap dress featuring cap sleeve detail by Canadian brand Club Monaco to meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu at the Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation, on day three of the tour in Cape Town.

And according to stylist Susie, a cap sleeve is one of the most flattering sleeve lengths on a woman. 

'It shows off Meghan's toned arms without exposing too much flesh, and it was an appropriate choice for when she had tea with Archbishop Desmond Tutu recently,' noted Susie. 

'A cap sleeve flatters the arm more than a T-shirt sleeve as it's looser fitting and adds femininity.'

Meanwhile, fashion expert commentator Karine Laudort told how a cap sleeve works the same way as a V-neck. 

'V-necks will make you look slimmer and derive the attention away from the face, the same way cap sleeves will flatter the upper part of the body,' she said. 'This is demonstrated in almost all of Meghan's looks.' 

Lady Kitty Spencer stuns in a Tudor-style custom made Dolce and Gabbana gown - Daily Mail

Posted: 22 Sep 2019 12:00 AM PDT

Lady Kitty Spencer looked stunning in a custom made Dolce and Gabbana Tudor-inspired gown as she arrived at the amFar gala in Milan on Saturday night.

Princess Diana's niece, 28, made a bold fashion statement in the strapless black gown, which had gold detailing on the corset and leopard print patches on the skirt. 

The floor-length dress also included intricate gold patterns and white lace, while she accessorized it with a gold snake necklace.

AmfAR galas are attended by A-listers across the globe and usually coincide with Fashion Week. Last night Kitty was joined by singer Rita Ora and model Lottie Moss.

Lady Kitty Spencer is always top of the fashion game, especially if we're talking luxury! But it feels as though she's really on a roll at the minute, popping up at events left, right and center in a whole host of stunning looks. And last night was no exception, pictured arriving at the AmfAR gala in Milan, Lady Kitty stood out in a custom gown by Dolce & Gabbana.

Modeled on a traditional Tudor silhouette, the gown features a fitted, sweetheart-neckline bodice and bustle-style exaggerated hips flaring out into a full skirt. In true Dolce style, the heavy cloth is embroidered in a baroque style, around patches of the brand's signature leopard print. Don't miss the button detailing down the center front too, atop the heavy gold threadwork.

With this much drama, we love how Lady Kitty has kept her accessories and styling minimal, adding a singular snake necklace and tying her hair back in a low chignon. If you want to get the look, then you'll be dismayed to hear that Lady Kitty's dress is for her and for her only. But, fear not, embroidered gowns are aplenty on the high street and within the designer brands, we've rounded up our pick of the best, which you can shop in the carousel below.

The model finished her look with a pair of diamond stud earrings, and she styled her blonde locks into a sleek sweptback hairdo.  

Showing her keen eye for detail, Lady Kitty's dress also had oversized purple buttons on top of the black, white and gold corset which emphasised her hourglass figure.

Letting the bold number speak for itself, the cousin of Prince William and Harry kept her arms bare, showing off her statement snake necklace and sparkling earrings.

Highlighting her natural beauty, Lady Kitty - who is the daughter of the 9th Earl of Spencer and Victoria Aitken - wore a silver smokey eye but opted for a natural lip.

Kitty, who is a spokesperson for the luxury jewellery brand Bulgari, also auctioned off a pair of earring for £50,000 for amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, on Saturday night. 

Kitty joined other A-listers including super models, singer Rita Ora and also Lottie Moss. 

Rita Ora, 28, made a stunning style statement in a jewel-encrusted white gown with dramatic chiffon detailing on the arms and hem before changing into a racy red sequinned number.

Like her aunt, Lady Kitty is an advocate for awareness of HIV and AIDs and has previously raised £140,000 for Elton John's AIDs foundation.

The fashionista touched down in Milan earlier this week sporting a  stunning double-breasted baby pink suit which was fitted on the leg and flared towards the bottom, which showed off her chunky maroon boots. 

It comes fresh from her appearance in the front row of many shows at London Fashion Week.  

Her boyfriend - Michael Lewis, a fashion tycoon 32 years her senior, has been nowhere to be seen as she stormed the fashion shows and galas solo.

Lady Kitty Spencer has been dating fashion tycoon Michael Lewis, who is six years older than her father, Earl Spencer, since the spring.

The couple went public with their relationship during a stroll through New York City in May and were seen kissing Lewis after leaving Club 55 in St Tropez in August.

The model last week told people to 'work on their own self-esteem' rather than knocking social media.

Lady Kitty, who has 491,000 followers on Instagram, defended social media against naysayers who blame it for a rise in children's low self-esteem.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Lady Spencer said: 'Social media doesn't have a conscience - it's how you use it. You give it the power.

'I think rather than being overwhelmed and knocking social media, maybe people should be working on their own self-esteem. Maybe the problem started before that - if you are so easily made to feel bad, what's that about, where did that start?
