MEGHAN Markle has raised the fashion stakes for her Dublin tour wearing not one but four striking outfits for her first official royal overseas trip.
But the elegant looks came with eye-watering price tags and in the space 24 hours the Duchess of Sussex has worn an estimated total of £23,000 worth of designer labels.
The former actress arrived in Dublin in an emerald green skirt suit by Givenchy.
For a garden party on Tuesday evening at the British ambassador’s residence, she switched to a black Emilia Wickstead dress.
The 36-year-old kicked off her second day in Dublin at the official residence of President Michael D Higgin in a grey Roland Mouret dress, featuring her favourite boat neckline.
Meghan, who is a friend of Mouret’s, previously wore a £1,350 version of today’s dress on the eve of her wedding, and this style is estimated to have cost £1,500.
Meghan accessorised with a pair of Birks Snowflake diamond and white gold earrings - which cost a cool £9,000.
Within an hour and a half, Meghan ditched her dress as she visited the Gaelic sports festival at Croke Park, which is the home of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
The former Suits actress switched things up, changing into a smart black tailored trouser suit, which she paired with a round-neck white T-shirt, black pointed court shoes and a clutch handbag.
Megan was wearing Givenchy’s Grain de Poudre Slim Fit Trousers, which cost £605, while her cropped jacket appears to be bespoke.
The suit set would have cost an estimated £2,500.
Her black buckled belt, meanwhile, costs £310 - and her clutch is the £1,677 GV3 Frame Bag – and were also from the same designer.
The former Suits actress is no stranger to the office-ready look, having worn an Alexander McQueen tuxe to a black tie event back in February.
Her versatile black leather heels, however, were by US designer Sarah Flint NYC, and cost £425 to buy here in Blighty.
Not content with simply switching up her outfit, Meghan even let her hair down and ditched the .
She wore a slick, tight bun for her presidential visit this morning, but has let her curls hang loose this afternoon.
Newly married Meghan had earlier beamed as Prince Harry let a little boy playfully tug on his beard.
They chatted to a number of small children and looked perfectly at ease messing around with the youngsters.
It once more sparked excited rumours the pair could soon have children of their own, after Meghan's father Thomas Markle spoke out to say he thinks his daughter will be pregnant soon.
Earlier this year it was reported the pair are "desperate" for kids and want to get started as soon as possible.
SUITS GLORY DAYS

WEARING a total of £23,000, Meghan looked gorgeous and elegant in all of her outfits.
But her tailored black Givenchy suit scores highest for me.
It’s reminiscent of her Suits glory days, more on-trend than plain dresses, and where she looks most comfortable.
