    EVER SINCE NEWS LEAKED that Meghan Markle was dating Prince Harry, she has become one of the most photographed women on the planet.

    Who could blame her? With her high cheekbones, exotic good looks and poise, the camera loves the American actress and humanitarian.

    The Suits star is set to be a member of the British Royal Family when she ties the knot with Prince Harry in May, and the couple appeared together in public when they attended mass last Christmas.

    As always, what she was wearing and carrying immediately became the talk of the town; and here, we check out some of Meghan's must-haves.

    CHLOÉ SMALL PIXIE DOUBLE HANDLE BAG IN SHINY GOATSKIN, SMOOTH & SUEDE CALFSKIN (US$1,550)

    A prince wasn't the only thing on Markle's arm on Christmas Day because she was also seen clutching a Chloé Pixie in Saffron Red bag from the French luxury brand's Winter 2017 collection at the Church of St Mary Magdalene.

    With its unique double bracelet handles, it's a statement piece that can be carried as a day to evening accessory.

    The bag also boasts classic looks with brown leather and caramel-hued suede panels on the front, while the gold studs on the leather band add an old school equestrian touch.

    Carry it over your shoulder, crossbody or in hand like Markle did.

    STOW FIRST CLASS LEATHER TECH CASE (S$670.87 FROM GIFTSLESSORDINARY.COM)

    Long before her prince came to sweep Markle off her feet to various exotic holiday destinations, she was already a jet-setter who often documented her wanderlust on her now-defunct blog The Tig.

    You can be sure she never left home without her First Class Leather Tech Case, an all-in-one zip pouch made by English luxe travel accessories company Stow.

    Established in 2013 through crowdfunding, its products are designed in England and hand-crafted in Spain.

    The First Class Leather Tech Case is inspired by traditional writing cases and has compartments to store your power bank, charging cable, USB drive and travel adaptor.

    It also doubles as a leather wallet with space to store travel documents and ID. Available in various colours including Amber Orange, which Markle owns.

    NIKE FLEX 2016 RN (S$139 FROM NIKE)

    Markle is a fitness fanatic who often takes her dog for runs. Her mother was also a yoga instructor so no prize for guessing that she too is a yogini.

    Her choice for exercise footwear might come as a surprise to some though: the Nike Flex 2016 RN, an entry-level pair of running shoes won't necessarily turn heads or have hypebeasts dashing to the nearest sports store to hunt down a pair.

    Despite it being no-frills, it does the job well and is designed to be lightweight so the wearer can go faster and move comfortably with its flexible outsole. The engineered mesh upper also makes this pair of shoes breathable. If you're looking for the white ones which Markle owns, it is no longer available though the updated Nike Flex 2017 RN offers plenty of other colourways for both men and women.
