Meghan Markle’s US open dress sells out in less than 12 hours – but you can pick one up on eBay for TRIPLE the price

MEGHAN Markle stepped out in an affordable blue denim shirt dress by US brand J Crew on Saturday.

But anyone hoping to get hold of the £96 denim shirt dress is out of luck as it completely sold out in every size just 12 hours after she wore it.

The casual dress is out of stock in every size on the brand’s website, despite it still being available to buy yesterday.

And it is still gaining major interest with the product receiving over a thousand views every hour following its debut on the Duchess of Sussex.

Unsurprisingly, it hasn’t taken long for the piece to end up on eBay, with savvy sellers asking for up to three times the RRP.

The most expensive listing is currently at £287 for a size ten dress - £191 more than the product’s initial price.

The auctions are likely to be the work of so-called ‘fashion flippers’ who buy popular items in bulk and then sell them on at hugely inflated prices.

Meghan, who is known to be a fan of the brand, paired her shirt dress with a £165 cardigan coat also from J Crew.

The coat is no longer available in the grey hue worn by Meghan but is still on sale in several other colourways.

The original grey cardigan has also cropped up on eBay, with one member asking an eye-watering £426. 34 for a size 10.

Meghan flew the flag for American fashion in her J Crew outfit as she watched her long-time friend Serena Williams lose in the US Open women's singles final in New York.

The Duchess of Sussex, 38, looked dejected as she sat among the tennis star's family and friends - after snubbing the Queen's invite to Balmoral Castle earlier this week.

Meghan was accused of jinxing former world number one Serena - after the sportswoman's coaches reportedly voiced concerns.

It comes just months after Meghan watched from the Wimbledon crowd as Serena was defeated in the final by Simona Halep.

Williams was also beaten at SW19 by Angelique Kerber in the Wimbledon final last year - which Meghan also attended.

Despite the jinx claims, Meghan watched Williams win at Wimbledon in 2016 - when the star successfully defended her title against Kerber.

In other royal news, the Queen is "hurt and disappointed" that Meghan skipped the "merry chaos" of the Highland Games, according to reports.
