Meghan Markle Is the Latest to Co-Sign Kendrick Lamar’s Viral Bootcut Jeans….Read More

Like the halftime show performer, Meghan wore flared jeans while in Canada over the weekend.

The same day that Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance—and his viral Celine jeans!—made headlines, Meghan Markle co-signed on the bootcut jeans trend during an Invictus Games appearance in Canada.

On February 9, Meghan and husband Prince Harry attended a wheelchair basketball game, where the Duchess of Sussex wore a slightly flared pair of Veronica Beard jeans and a navy crewneck sweater, identified by What Meghan Wore as being from La Ligne. The site also reported that Meghan brought back a pair of Stuart Weitzman black suede boots from yesteryear, the same boots she was seen wearing in London on November 21, 2017—less than one week before she and Harry announced their engagement on November 27.

Meghan, the Invictus Games, and denim have long been synonymous, all the way back to her first appearance at the Games in 2017—which were also held in Canada. This year, she and Harry are in both Vancouver and Whistler, but eight years ago the couple was in Toronto, where Meghan wore a pair of MOTHER jeans for their first public appearance as a couple that September.

At this year’s Invictus Games—the first to introduce winter sports since the Games’ first iteration in 2014—Harry and Meghan traveled from Vancouver to Whistler on February 10, where they supported athletes at the debut skeleton event. Meghan, in a cream coat by Mackage, was called up onstage by Harry following a performance by Canadian singer Michael Bublé (who Harry and Meghan dined with at an Indian restaurant in Vancouver on February 8, along with Bublé’s wife Luisana Lopilato).

After Bublé performed his hit song “Feeling Good,” People reported that Harry then waved Meghan over, saying, “My wife and I—come on out here! Come on!” As the couple wrapped their arms around each other, Harry quipped, “Now she’s going to sing!

The outlet noted that Meghan looked “horrified” and “burst out laughing and quickly shut it down with a firm, ‘No!’” (After all, no matter one’s singing ability, Bublé would be a nearly impossible act to follow.)

As Harry and Meghan left the stage, Meghan turned to the crowd and said, “Thank you, everybody. Have the best time!

Since her arrival in Canada late last week, Meghan has not only gotten on board with the bootcut denim trend but has also supported many brands she’s been known to love over the years, specifically Canadian brands like the aforementioned Mackage and Sentaler, a Toronto-based coat brand also known to be worn by sister-in-law Kate Middleton in the past. In addition to wearing favorites like Veronica Beard and La Ligne, Meghan also wore a jacket by Givenchy—the house which, of course, designed her 2018 wedding dress.

Ahead of the Games’ opening ceremony, Meghan made an impromptu speech at a private event where she nodded to her longstanding love of Canada—where she filmed Suits in Toronto before marrying Harry—telling the crowd assembled, “I touched Canadian soil and I went, ‘Oh, it feels like home.’”
