Thrifty Meghan! Bride-to-be steps out in favourite pair of £550 Aquazzura shoes for her engagement announcement (and she likes them so much she bought them in black, too)

  • Meghan Markle wore an elegant pair of Aquazzura heels for the announcement
  • She previously wore the £550 nude heels to a conference in September 2016
  • The 36-year-old also owns the lace up heels in black, which she wore last year

The Duchess of Cambridge is known for being thrifty when it comes to her fashion choices, and it appears her future sister-in-law is taking a similar approach.

Meghan Markle, 36, stepped out wearing a favourite pair of nude heels as she joined Prince Harry, 33, for the engagement announcement photo call in the grounds of Kensington Palace today. 

The actress looked the picture of elegance in the £550 heels by Aquazzura, which she has previously worn on several occasions. 

She paired the heels with a chic white coat by Canadian designer Line the Label, which she wore over a green knee-length dress.

Step out in style in Aquazzura heels like Meghan

Congratulations to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry!

The couple officially announced their engagement today, with Meghan looking incredibly stylish in a white coat by Line The Label, a bottle green dress by P.A.R.O.S.H and nude strappy heels by Aquazzura.

We've spotted her in these classic 'Matilde' pumps before, so they're clearly a favourite of Meghan's. With their versatile and timeless aesthetic, we're not surprised she turned to them again on this high profile occasion.

Lace up shoes have been a major trend for a few years now and it all began with Aquazzura. We like this particular style for their pointed toe, slinky straps and the touch of gold at the end of each lace.

The best news is these heels are currently in the sale at Neiman Marcus, so click right now to steal a slice of Meghan's style, or get the look for less with even more picks below.

She was previously seen wearing the elegant heels for the One Young World Summit in Ottawa, Canada, in September last year, where she was photographed for Vanity Fair.

Indeed Meghan likes the shoes so much that she even bought them in black. 

She was seen showing them off the darker pair at ELLE's 6th Annual Women In Television Dinner in Los Angeles in January last year. 

On that occasion, she wore the heels with a red brocade dress with a mirrored silver clutch.

Today Meghan looked resplendent in a chic belted white coat dress from Line the Label, which she wore over a £437 dress by Parosh. 

The Suits actress showcased the stunning ring designed by Prince Harry himself with one stone from Botswana, where he and Meghan recently holidayed, and two diamonds from Diana’s personal collection.

The ring was made by Cleave and Company, Court Jewellers and Medallists to Her Majesty The Queen.

At its centre is a diamond from Botswana, a country that holds special significance for Prince Harry who has visited many times since he was a child. It is also a place the couple has spent time together over the last year and a half.

The ring features two outside stones, which are diamonds from the personal collection of Prince Harry's mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. 

In a nod to her previous home of Toronto, Meghan chose to wear a coat from Canadian brand Line The Label.

Founded in 2000 by friends John Muscat And Jennifer Wells, the brand is known for its stylish knitwear and use of sumptuous materials and counts actresses Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Bosworth among its A-list fans.

Wrapping up against the cold, Meghan offered only a glimpse of her dress beneath her white coat. The forest green frock was designed by P.A.R.O.S.H, the brainchild of Italian designer Paolo Rossello. The brand channels a classically mod aesthetic that is revamped with playful patterning and bold, vibrant colours.

Meghan chose to support Canadian fine jewellery brand Birks for her official engagement photocall. She donned a pair of £850 18K yellow gold and opal earrings from Birks in the official announcement, taken outdoors, in the grounds at Kensington Palace.
