Meghan Markle made a sleek style statement in a navy ensemble as she stepped out alongside Prince Harry at the Cookie Queens premiere this weekend. The Duchess of Sussex opted for the Fog Coat by California-based designer Heidi Merrick, a style priced at £930.

Zara Tindall wore a comparable Hobbs design just weeks agoand it’s the perfect winter staple. For those keen to recreate Meghan’s look without the designer price tag, the British label offers a purse-friendly alternative.

Crafted from an Italian wool-cashmere blend, the Hobbs coat features a detachable faux-fur collar, a tie belt and clean, tailored lines. The design is available in both petite and regular fits, making it an easy win for a range of body shapes.

Better still, shoppers can save £120 in the brand’s end-of-season sale, making it an even more tempting investment that you can wear year after year. At the time of writing the piece is available in sizes 10 to 22, but stock is selling fast, so anyone hoping to invest would be wise to act quickly. 

Shoppers have also been quick to praise the fit and quality, particularly those opting for the petite sizing. One reviewer wrote: “Very nice petite coat fits my size 10, 4ft 11in height exactly.”

Another added: “Good to find a classic coat which fits my 5’2” frame. This coat will be worn for years and I am extremely happy with the quality.”

However, those hoping for a more vibrant colourway may be disappointed, as the design is currently only available in navy. If you’re keen to recreate Meghan’s look for less, check out our edit of affordable high street alternatives below, all inspired by the Duchess of Sussex’s latest outing.
