Meghan Markle Just Wore the It Bag I Predicted 5 Months Ago
In case you haven't noticed, we write a lot of predictive stories here at Who What Wear. We've forecasted fall's best designer boots, winter's biggest coat style, and even anticipated the eight most popular trends of 2020 (with help from Anna Wintour). Not to toot our own horns, but we have to say we're usually pretty accurate with our projections—and Meghan Markle's newest outfit is proof.
Back in May, I predicted that Montunas would be the It bag brand of summer 2019, and now none other than Meghan Markle has stepped out wearing the rising brand, guaranteeing it a fast track to cult status. "All of our acetate pieces are inspired by our orchid house in the mountains of Costa Rica," co-founder Amanda Hawila told Who What Wear back in May. "The shapes are all based on orchid pots and vessels, and the names are native Costa Rican orchids. For us, nature is our biggest inspiration—it's not hard when you're from Costa Rica!" Scroll down to see how the Duchess of Sussex styled her Montunas bag, and shop the brand for yourself.
On Meghan Markle: Montunas Guaria Tortoiseshell Scarf Bag ($484); Sentaler coat; P.A.R.O.S.H. dress; Manolo Blahnik BB Pumps ($625)

Next, these will be the eight biggest trends of 2020, according to Anna Wintour.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
