Meghan's Sheer Pink Flats Share the Spotlight in As Ever Holiday Launch
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex introduced the holiday advent calendar from As Ever, her lifestyle brand, wearing powder-pink sheer ballet flats. The shoes are visible in the announcement images for the limited-edition calendar, which is set to open for preorders. It is a holiday launch with a fashion footnote built in. The timing puts footwear and holiday shopping in the same frame.
The flats appear to be the "Voile" style from Aquazzura, the Italian shoe label, according to Town & Country. They combine powder pink satin and leather with a sheer mesh texture across the upper. The toe is covered. The foot shows through. That contrast is the whole point of the style, delicate but still a flat made for walking.
The calendar is a seasonal countdown box, with small doors or compartments opened one day at a time toward the holiday. As Ever is set to open preorders for its limited-edition version, as reported Sept. 30 by Town & Country. The design features an illustration inspired by the Sussex family's home in Montecito, California. The duchess lives there with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The 2026 As Ever Holiday Advent Calendar is listed at $148 on the company's website. That is the price shown for the holiday box. As Ever also offers a free jar of Orange Marmalade with every purchase over $70. The offer is listed on the site's tea collection page. Shoppers do not need to buy the calendar to get it.
The preorder news broke Sept. 30. The shoe detail followed in Oct. 1 coverage, when the announcement images drew a closer look. Two reports, one product.
The duchess appears in the announcement herself, rather than showing the product alone. The camera catches the flats in full. Readers see the satin sheen and the mesh. For shoppers tracking her style, the credits matter as much as the calendar. It is a familiar setup for a founder who often models her own line.
For fans, this means two hunts. One is the limited-edition box with a Montecito drawing on the cover. The other is a very specific pink flat. Both point to the same playbook. The calendar leads. The shoes linger.
