Meghan Markle wore a $4,700 belted, silk Armani gown adorned with a floral print that was reminiscent of her former royal style for the interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in the US on March 7.

She paired the dress with a sleek updo, leaving a couple of wavy strands to frame her face — perhaps a nod to her more relaxed California style.

She accessorized with a Cartier tennis bracelet that once belonged to Princess Diana.

Markle paired the suit with a matching top and pumps for a day of engagements during her New York City visit.

The outfit appears to be a change from the royal's typical style, as she is usually seen wearing form-fitting dresses, blouses, and blazers.
