The Duchess of Sussex is really treating us to her own personal fashion show.
Last week she attended an event at Canada House wearing a bespoke green coat and dress by Erdem, based on designs from his Fall 19 collection, before changing into a completely different outfit for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.
Meghan looked ultra chic, as always, but this time she opted for a dress, bag and shoes by Victoria Beckham. The cream chain print midi is a custom made take on the label's forthcoming Fall '19 line and we love the elegant shade and floaty fit.

Or you can find more chain print dresses to tempt you from the likes of Boohoo, Alexis and Liu Jo that'll give you the look without breaking the bank. It'll make the ideal dress for a spring garden party, styled with simple heels and a jacket.
Speaking to host Christine about their time filming together, Gregg said: 'Everybody does know her as a princess, but in real life, she genuinely is also like a princess.
'She is one of the classiest, the nicest, one of the most sincere and genuine people I've ever met.'
And referring to his own British roots, he continued: 'She was a superstar. To me, I'm so proud of the fact that she's part of my country's history in all honesty, aside from obviously having a personal relationship with her.'
Addressing the negative attention Meghan has received, he added: 'I just think the way she's handling it – obviously the press- you know, it hasn't been easy for her.
'And she's stuck to her guns, which is, you know, 'when they go low, we go high' sort of mentality, and I think she's done that. I think she's been a class act.'

Meghan has been at the centre of rumours of a rift between the Cambridges and the Sussexes.
Last November the palace confirmed that Harry and Meghan would be moving out of their Kensington Palace cottage to the grounds of Windsor, to avoid their first child- due in spring 2019, growing up 'in a goldfish bowl'.
However further reports soon claimed the move could be due to a rift between Kate Middleton and Meghan.
Additionally Meghan has had to endure regular public outbursts from her half-sister Samantha Markle, and her father Thomas.

In December An insider told Us Weekly the pregnant duchess was finding it 'frustrating and stressful' having 'no voice' - and finds the constraints of royal life 'debilitating'.
Once an outspoken feminist who gave speeches at United Nations forums, Meghan has since shut down her social media accounts as part of her transition from actress to duchess.
However, royal insiders have insisted that there has been no falling out between the Cambridges and the Sussexes, but admitted the pair are 'very different people'.
A source previously told the Daily Mail's Rebecca English: 'While there are some tensions behind the scenes, Kate is pretty unflappable and nothing has become bad enough to make Harry and Meghan want to move out.
'People are genuinely pleased to see them so happy. The truth is that there simply isn't enough room at Kensington Palace for them and I know they have been looking at Windsor as a possibility since before the wedding.'
