At the closing ceremony in Düsseldorf, Germany, on Sept. 16, the Duchess of Sussex wore a teal lace column dress by celebrity-adored brand Cult Gaia. The strapless ankle-length design was covered in floral embroidery, and the skirt featured delicate cutouts precisely made by lasers.

I knew this color would be a much wiser choice for me, considering how often I end up accidentally staining my belongings. It felt like…
