Michelle Keegan rocks ultimate power suit – and Kate Middleton-approved jewels

Michelle Keegan looked resplendent on Thursday evening as she appeared on the red carpet, alongside her co-star Douglas Booth, with whom she stars alongside in the new ITV crime drama, The Blame.

The former Coronation Street star plays the role of DI Emma Crane in the drama, while Douglas plays  DI Tom Radley. 

Smiling at the cameras, the 38-year-old dazzled in a gorgeous butter yellow suit. The tailored two-piece featured wide lapels with a smart, double-breasted fit, which gave the wife of Mark Wright a sleek silhouette. 

Accessorising to perfection, the mother-of-one added high-heeled shoes and a selection of gold jewellery, including a pair of earrings by Soru.

Michelle’s royally-approved earrings

Known as the ‘Coco’, Michelle’s sleek, oversized studs featured a bold gemstone surrounded by 18k gold-plated silver. The trend-led pieces have been worn by an abundance of celebrities, from Molly-Mae Hague to Rochelle Humes.

Another huge fan of the brand is the Princess of Wales. Back in 2016, the royal sported a pair of Soru earrings when she was on an official visit to Canada. The mother-of-three memorably wore a bold, red dress by Preen, which she paired with the brand’s baroque, double-sided statement earrings, causing a sellout situation.

Sicilian-British sisters Francesca Kelly and Marianna Doyle, who founded Soru, still recall the effect the royal had on their sales. The ‘Kate Effect’ is very real, the founders previously told HELLO!: “We were first of all honoured, which was quickly followed by shock as our sales went through the roof for the earrings she had chosen to wear, continuously selling out and still a popular style today.”

Recalling how their business changed, they revealed: “This has had a massive impact on our brand – we were a small, unknown Instagram-grown company and were catapulted to a global audience with traffic to our site from countries all over the world.”

Michelle on Kate

It seems that Manchester-born Michelle has a soft spot for the royal. “I’d love to play Kate,” she previously told The Sun on Sunday in 2020. “I’m getting there with my accents, I do like doing them.” Michelle also said she felt that the royal was “just a normal girl at heart.”
