Both royals opted for different jewel tones to tie in with their retrospective looks. Meghan went for an opulent gold and translucent pair which complemented her white dress, while Kate wore berry coloured stones to match her fitted burgundy coat from Eponine London.
While dangled earrings come in many forms, both women chose a sleek, singular chain of stones to give a delicate yet striking effect.
The dangle earring has seen a resurgence in popularity this year. A whole host of A-List celebrities have been seen sporting the style on the red carpet, from Jenna Coleman to Hailey Bieber. According to the British brand Oliver Cabell, dangle earrings are perfect for when ‘you just need a good enough amount of flamboyance to catch everybody’s eyes.’
