Meghan Markle's $770 backless dress is sold out — but these 11 dupes are just as good (and they start under $75!)

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no longer working royals, but Meghan Markle's dress is still a "Windsor."

These days, our Meghan Markle sightings are few and far between. However, when the royal mom does step out, she does so in style.

On Friday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the spotlight in Abuja, Nigeria, on the first stop of their three-day visit to the country. The Sussexes, who are no longer working royals, are visiting the West African nation as it's now a "part of the Invictus community."

Kicking off their first official international tour since 2020, Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, met (and danced!) with students and faculty at the Lightway Academy, a school in the Nigerian capital.

Meghan wore a backless peach-coloured maxi dress by Heidi Merrick—a style coincidentally named the "Windsor"—vintage gold Lanvin button earrings, and a pair of sandals from Emme Parsons.

Featuring a high neckline in the front and a cutout in the back, Meghan's floor-length Heidi Merrick dress, initially released in 2018, is long sold out. However, you can still shop Meghan's peachy look ahead of this summer's wedding season.

While Meghan's Heidi Merrick dress reportedly cost £450 (around $770 CAD), we rounded up 11 dresses with a similar look and feel, with options starting at $70.
