Meghan Markle 'copies' Suits co-star by donning same dress she wore to designer's party


Meghan Markle was “glowing” at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge, but her dress may have looked familiar to Suits fans.

The white frock, designed by Heidi Merrick and retailing for £421, featured a “drop waist skirt”, a high neck and elegant cutout at the front.

Her husband, Prince Harry, also looked stylish in white trousers and a cream jacket as the pair enjoyed sunnier climes in Wellington, Florida.

Fans went wild for the Duchess of Sussex’s latest look, even though some thought she committed a fashion faux pas by wearing stiletto heels on grass.

However, this isn’t the first time Heidi’s stunning summer dress was worn by a Suits alum.

Meghan’s former co-star on the USA Network drama Abigail Spencer donned the same look back in September and actually met up with the designer in person.

Abigail had a major supporting role as Dana ‘Scottie’ Scott, appearing in several episodes as the ex-girlfriend of Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht).

Last autumn, Abigail took to her Instagram to showcase the eye-catching ivory dress, which she wore to Heidi and her husband Johnny Johnston’s anniversary party.

“On “the land” @hmerrick,” she captioned the post. “Happy Anniversary Heidi & Johnny. Love yous.”

Heidi replied “I LOVE THIS!” to Abigail’s carousel of photos and videos, adding three love heart emojis.

In the Instagram post, Abigail revealed she had paired the dress with a blue denim jacket and black boots. She also matched the dress with an oversized bow on the neck in some of the photos.

Later, Heidi was just as pleased to see Meghan showcasing her design and gushed about the Duchess on Instagram.

“Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, just glowing in our Ginger dress,” she said.

“We’ve put it on Pre-order, so you can order online- we will cut this week. HEIDIMERRICK.com.

“I couldn’t be more grateful to the Duchess for her support. Xx Heidi.”

Fans of the dress who may not have over £400 to spend can also pick up a dupe from Asos at a fraction of the price.
