It seems that even the Royals can't escape the Meghan Markle effect, and who can blame them? After all she's mastered that tricky transition from Hollywood premieres to strict Royal dress codes (well, Prince Harry has been giving her a little fashion advice).

So we can't blame Princess Eugenie for borrowing the Duchess' favourite pair of shoes for an event celebrating what would have been the late Nelson Mandela's 100th birthday in London.

The Princess wore a vibrant green Osman dress, which she paired with the same nude suede courts by Aquazzura Meghan wore to announce her engagement to Prince Harry.

At the time, Meghan paired hers with a white Line the Label coat and an emerald green dress, and you know what, I can see why they both went for this particular style, it literally goes with everything.

It's also worth pointing out Meghan chose Aquazzura for her wedding reception shoes (she's been a fan of the brand since her Suits days), so it'll be interesting to see of Eugenie opts for them on her big day in October too...

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
