Meghan Markle’s mother Doria Ragland turns 67 today and looks fabulous in everything she wears – including her gorgeous jewellery.
James Harris, the Regional Sales Manager at Austen & Blake spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk to analyse Doria’s taste in style.
Mr Harris said: “From Doria Ragland’s public appearances, we can see she often selects simple pieces of jewellery that make a statement, with some holding sentimental value.
“She opts for delicate, matching sets that flatter and complement her sophisticated look, including trouser suits and fitted dresses, rather than overpowering them.
“We’ve spotted Doria wearing several earring styles. From pearl drops to hoops and intricate dangle earrings, Doria is not afraid of trying something new and expressing her personal style through her choices.
“This is also evident in that, at Meghan and Prince Harry’s wedding, Doria wore a sparkling nose stud to the ceremony. This piece of jewellery may not usually be worn for a formal occasion, showcasing her individuality and creativity.
“When she attended the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards in New York, Doria was photographed wearing a necklace with a circular pendant engraved with her grandchildren’s names.
“This a beautiful way to keep the children close to her heart for everyone to see, while showing what a proud grandparent she is.
“Her beautiful choices in jewellery combine to create looks that allow each piece to shine and showcase her personality. Jewellery should always be a personal choice and help the wearer feel empowered through self-expression.”
Raymond Lam, a style expert from Vendula London also spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk to discuss Doria’s gorgeous array of outfits.
Mr Lam claimed: “As seen from her appearances at various events with her daughter over the years, Doria Ragland has a signature style that she likes to wear.
“Similarly to Meghan Markle, Doria often wears modern tailored clothes that have flattering, slim cuts.
“She also often wears contrasting or coordinating colours, such as a white dress with a black jacket, or her all-green look that she wore at the royal wedding in 2018.
“She complements her outfits with minimal jewellery, often only wearing a simple necklace and earrings.
“Other signature parts of her look are her nose stud and her dreadlocks, which she sometimes sweeps back into a bun or a ponytail.
“She has a similar style to her daughter, as they are both often pictured together wearing chic, tailored looks at public appearances, but display a much more relaxed style at home in California.
“Doria seems to favour neutral or muted colours, such as navy, black, beige and pastel tones, which make her look sophisticated and elegant.”
