Meghan Markle has impressed fans with her stylish outfit to attend the second day of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Duchess of Sussex, 40, arrived alongside her husband Prince Harry, 37, for the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral.

For her first official royal event in over two years, she wore a Dior haute couture white coat mididress featuring a belt, statement collar, cropped sleeves and a slight A-line skirt.

The mother-of-two, who styled her hair in a sleek low bun, finished off her look with a wide-brimmed white Dior hat, bespoke Dior heels and a pair of leather-look gloves.

Although there are no official photos of the duchess a the event, images of her outfit have been shared by Yahoo UK royal executive editor Omid Scobie.

Another shared: "Class and elegance."

A third added: "Duchess Meghan looks flawless as usual."
