When it comes to the women of the British royal family, they have been known to don a classic rewear every now and then. Just ask Queen Camilla, 76, who recently rewore her signature statement boots to the Easter Sunday service at St. George’s Chapel. Or Kate Middleton, 42, who rocked the same dress she wore to Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan’s royal wedding (which took place in June 2023) to the annual Diplomatic Reception later on that year. 

And this time around, Meghan Markle decided to wear an oldie (but a goodie) during a recent outing. According to People, the Duchess of Sussex, 42, paid a visit to the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, California, on March 21. While there, she led a Literally Healing session and read some of her favorite books like Rosie the Riveter and Pete the Cat.

In a slideshow shared on the Children's Hospital Los Angeles Instagram account, Markle can be seen interacting with the young patients at the reading. One photo (see below) shows the mother of two posing with a child in a wheelchair.

In another snap, the Suits alum is reading to kids while rocking a black face mask, her Oscar de la Renta Silk-Chiffon Landscape Shirtdress and Aquazzura “Love Affair” Black Suede Flats. Looking for an alternative shoe option? Then, you should add the Aquazzura Black Bow Tie Ballet Flats ($566; $504) to your cart.

If you’ve watched the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, then you know this Oscar de la Renta dress all too well. Markle wore the same dress in the limited series, which follows the couple throughout their relationship. In one episode of the series, Markle is photographed carrying her son, Archie, and she is wearing the same Oscar de la Renta dress. 

Meghan, you will forever be our fashion inspo.
