Meghan Markle is heatwave-ready in As Ever update
The former Suits actress kept her look simple and practical. She wore a blue button-up shirt tucked into high-waisted white shorts.
She finished the outfit with a low ponytail and a straw hat. The wide-leg shape and pale colour suited the heat.
The styling matched the relaxed garden setting. It also showed how much her wardrobe has changed since her working royal years.
Meghan has embraced heatwave dressing since moving to Montecito in 2020. She lives there with Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Shorter hemlines once felt too daring for royal women, and many usually chose midi dresses or trousers instead.
Meghan has stepped away from that tradition several times in California. Meghan’s shorts now form a clear part of her off-duty style.

Meghan added that she often finds labels herself online. She said: “I spend a lot of time just Googling, looking for brands… When people are online looking for things or reading things, I’m trying to find great new designers, especially in different territories.”
