When we say the “Markle Sparkle” and “Princess Kate Effect” are real, we mean it — brands are itching to be worn by them, whatever they do end up wearing sells out, and when a piece they’ve worn comes back in stock, it’s a big deal. Since becoming royalty, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have become two of today’s biggest fashion icons.
With so many designers at their disposal, more often than not, they’re wearing an outfit that we can’t fathom affording. But the pricey labels shouldn’t scare you aways from trying to replicate their super relatable looks. For those of us who don’t have a Duchess budget, take note: There are tons of affordable near-perfect lookalikes for Meghan and Kate’s style on Amazon.

A Colorful Coat
Unlike her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton is always sporting a colorful coat during her public appearances. Like Queen Elizabeth, who wears neon colors so fans can easily spot her in a crowd, it seems Kate wants to stand out, too. After all, she will be Queen one day. If your wardrobe is in need of a pop of color to get your though this dreary winter, take a page out of Kate’s style book and scoop up a vibrant coat on Amazon.

A Sharp Blazer
She may not sit in a cubicle all day, but the Duchess of Cambridge’s tailored blazers are always inspiring our workwear. It seems that Kate has a blazer in just about every color imaginable. If you’re tired of your regular black blazer, opt for this casual olive green blazer cardigan instead, courtesy of Kate’s closet.

Every woman needs a pair of classic stiletto pumps in her closet — which is why we’re turning to Kate for shoe inspo. No matter the occasion, she’s always wearing the cutest black velvet pumps or nude suede stilettos (including wearing a pair just hours after giving birth!). While we can’t all afford her favorite made-to-order Jimmy Choo Romy heels, we’ll definitely be scooping up these lookalikes on Amazon that are a fraction of the cost.
