The Meghan Markle Effect can no longer be denied. For at least the second time since setting foot in Düsseldorf, Germany, for the 2023 Invictus Games, the Duchess of Sussex has sold out a fall wardrobe essential.
On September 12, the 42-year-old royal wore a black pleated Banana Republic shirtdress, which originally retailed for $140 on its website…until it sold out after Markle’s public appearance. But don’t worry—there’s some good news for those of you who already had your wallets out. Before we get into that, though, let’s talk about what makes this particular outfit so covetable.
Though this particular dress is off the market (at least on the Banana Republic website), an off-white version of the same dress is not only still available but currently on sale for $70. The Pleated Midi Shirtdress ranges from size 0 to 18 and even comes with a fabric belt, which Markle chose to swap for a more structured style.
Of course, if you’re over white as we head into fall (otherwise known as PSL season), Banana Republic has you covered with their Poplin Midi Shirtdress in Whisky, which boasts an extremely similar length and fit. The only real difference is the dress forgoes pleats in favor of visible pockets, which, frankly, is probably an upgrade.
