Meghan Markle is reminding us why she’s still a fashion icon—even while barefoot on the beach. In a standout episode from the newly released second season of With Love, Meghan on Netflix, the Duchess of Sussex shares a relaxed day with British stylist and Queer Eye star Tan France, and it’s already captured hearts worldwide.
The episode blends California coastal vibes with quiet luxury, and Meghan’s wardrobe does not disappoint. In a scene filmed inside her kitchen, she’s seen preparing a meal in a classic Meghan ensemble: a crisp white-and-blue striped shirt neatly tucked into high-waisted, dark-wash skinny jeans. While fashion critics have declared the skinny jean passé, Meghan is making a strong case for their revival.
“While Meghan always looks refined for evening events, her polished daytime looks—especially those featuring skinny jeans—are arguably her sartorial sweet spot,” says lifestyle writer Katie Daly. “They reflect her seamless transition into laidback California living, showing that casual can still look elevated.”
After cooking, Meghan and Tan venture to a nearby beach for a barefoot stroll and picnic. She layers her outfit with a soft beige coat and a blue-and-white patterned scarf, perfectly capturing that effortless West Coast elegance. The official behind-the-scenes photos, shared by Tan on Instagram, show the pair smiling and soaking in the sun.
“Behind the scenes of the most lovely day spent with the most lovely @meghan,” Tan captioned the post. “She made me feel so welcome, taught me about the ‘gayest’ flower sprinkles, and gifted me the most heartfelt of gifts that I’ll treasure forever.”
The heartfelt gift? A beautifully crafted wooden masala dabba—a traditional Indian spice box—given by Meghan. The gesture moved many fans, who flooded Tan’s comments with messages of support and emotion. One wrote, “The masala dabba gift brought me to tears. So heartwarming. With Love, Meghan is a warm hug we all need.” Another added, “It’s joyous to watch someone just enjoy another person for who they are—unbothered by the noise.”
The episode resonated so deeply that fans are already calling for a spin-off featuring Meghan and Tan—proof that their easygoing chemistry struck a chord.
Inside With Love, Meghan Season 2
The second season of Meghan’s Netflix docu-series is now streaming, and royal watchers and lifestyle fans alike have been tuning in. Though reviews have been mixed, Meghan’s loyal followers have embraced the series as an intimate look into her world.
Season 2 features an eclectic lineup of guests, including Chrissy Teigen, chef and author Samin Nosrat, fashion icon Tan France, and three-Michelin-starred chef Clare Smyth—who famously catered Meghan and Harry’s wedding reception.
One touching detail that didn’t go unnoticed: Meghan’s beloved beagle, Guy—who sadly passed away late last year—still appears throughout the new episodes, as both seasons were filmed back-to-back.
Whether she’s barefoot on the sand or dressed down in denim, Meghan Markle continues to blend authenticity with style—and proves once again that skinny jeans, when done right, are far from outdated.
