The ‘Meghan effect’ is a real phenomenon – from ASOS dresses to wearable denim, whatever the Duchess of Sussex wears, the public want to wear it too. So we predict that crawler earrings are about to bedeck the lobes of fashion fans everywhere, after Meghan was spotted sporting a pair on an official engagement last week.

Meghan, who is expecting her first child with husband Prince Harry this spring, chose a pair of £315 Felicity earrings from ethical jewellery brand Kimai to set off her outfit during a visit to coaching service SmartWorks in London, and is reportedly the first royal to ever rock the crawler earring look.

Although it looks complex, the quirky earring style – named as such simply because it ‘crawls’ up the ear when worn – fits into a single piercing, so there’s no need to add extra holes to pull them off. Meghan’s pick features three lab-grown diamonds set in 18k gold, and remains in stock on the brand’s website – for now, that is.
