The Duchess, who led the way out of the plane with her husband following closely behind, was wearing a striped shirt, black cardigan, jeans and black pumps and her hair was loose around her neck.
She was carrying a bag over her shoulder with a bulky grey sweater tucked into the strap and clutching a Prada Duffle bag.
Her $125 black pumps are from Rothy’s, a San Francisco-based company that turns recycled water bottles into shoes.
Fashion bible Vogue has even dubbed the footwear as ‘among the most politically correct shoes on our beleaguered planet’.
Meanwhile, the $1,790 duffle bag comes from Prada’s Re-Nylon line, which uses Econyl, a material that can allegedly be recycled indefinitely.
It is made from mixing ocean waste and textile waste into fabric.
Her shirt is from Misha Nonoo, the US-based British-Bahraini fashion designer and Meghan’s close friend.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been in the US since last week when they made their first public appearance as a couple since their shock announcement that they were taking a step back from Royal duties and leaving life in the UK behind.
The pair visited luxury five-star hotel 1 Hotel South beach in Miami for the JP Morgan summit on February 6, where Harry gave a keynote speech to the crowd.
During his speech, Harry told American bankers he has been in therapy for seven years to cope with the loss of his mother.
An expert estimated the couple would have been paid up to $1M to appear at the star-studded bash.
It is not clear how Harry and Meghan traveled to Florida for the event.
JPMorgan’s private Gulfstream jet had flown to Vancouver Airport in Canada, near to where the couple have been living since quitting Royal life.
It then left at 12.10pm Wednesday and landed in Palm Beach at 8.03pm. Harry and Meghan stayed at Serena Williams’ home in Palm Beach during the appearance.
It is unclear if they were on that jet. Palm Beach is around 80 miles north of Miami.
After the JPMorgan bash, the couple then paid a visit to the prestigious Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, on Tuesday, according to Royal sources.

As reported by the Today show, Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, are said to have attended ‘brainstorming sessions’ with several ‘professors and academics’ from the university, who have been helping them to work on the concept and creation of their new charitable organization.
When the couple first announced their plans to step back from senior Royal life they made mention of their plans to launch a new charity, writing on their website that their decision to split their time between North America and the UK would help them in this endeavor.
‘This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the Royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity,’ they wrote.
It is unclear what role the Stanford professors and academics have within this new entity, nor have Harry and Meghan made clear exactly what cause, or causes, the organization will focus on.
The couple’s pursuit of future business ventures has been mired in controversy to date.
They were criticised when footage emerged in January of the Duchess joking that she had attended the premiere of The Lion King to ‘pitch’ for work.
Then, on Thursday, MailOnline revealed that Prince Harry’s team held talks with controversial investment bank Goldman Sachs back in November – when the couple were holed up in a Vancouver mansion with Archie and decided they would be quitting as senior Royals.
Their decision to work with academics this week at a university in California will no doubt raise more questions about whether the couple plans to relocate to the West Coast permanently.
On Wednesday, DailyMail.com exclusively reported that Harry and Meghan are still weighing up their options as far as their decision to settle down, with Malibu, New York City, and Vancouver all in the running as potential home bases.
Meghan’s mother Doria lives in Los Angeles – a six-hour drive away from Stanford – a possible factor in their decision.

While the Duke and Duchess appeared content as they stepped down in Canada on Friday, their staff may be less so, after DailyMail.com this week revealed they were given their marching orders.
The couple are in the process of closing their Buckingham Palace office and axing their hugely experienced 15-strong team of London-based staff.
Almost all major decisions – and certainly their social media strategy – are now being made by the couple themselves and a coterie of US celebrity agents and publicists.
Insiders have told the Mail that the couple’s decision to hire a ‘meddling’ group of celebrity US-based agents and publicists has made life difficult for their palace staff.
The couple have been organizing private engagements and briefings with their new team, and even hired a Canadian designer to create a new website without any involvement from Royal advisers.
The Mail understands that following Megxit, a small team of people will be employed privately in London to mastermind Harry’s new eco-friendly travel initiative, Travalyst.
It is thought the rest of the redundancies will be concluded by the spring, when Harry and Meghan’s ‘transition’ in stepping down as senior Royals is formally concluded.

This increasingly fractious separation comes as Royal aides were reportedly left ‘cringing’ this week after the Duchess of Sussex posted a ‘behind the scenes’ video from her Vogue magazine editorship showing her putting on a silly hat and playing with a party blower.
Meghan and Harry uploaded the clip to their Sussex Royal Instagram feed to celebrate the fact that the Forces For Change edition in August was the magazine’s best-selling issue of the decade.
The Mail understands that Meghan and British Vogue editor Edward Enninful had been keen to put the video out since last summer but had been advised by palace officials because it was seen to be too ‘inane’ and frivolous.
They feared the image of Meghan wearing a party hat with a blower in her mouth could come back to haunt her, and could even be made into a ‘Megxit meme’, a humorous viral picture.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fly from Canada to California to visit Stanford University and ‘brainstorm with professors and academics’ about their new charity
Meghan Markle is using her time away from life as a senior royal to go back to college – and she’s taking Prince Harry with her.
According to royal sources, the couple paid a visit to the prestigious Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, on Tuesday, having taken a commercial flight from Canada, where they are currently living with their son Archie.
As reported by the Today show, Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, are said to have attended ‘brainstorming sessions’ with several ‘professors and academics’ from the university, who have been helping them to work on the concept and creation of their new charitable organization.
Personal: The couple were met personally by the university’s president, Marc Tessier-Lavigne
More questions about whether the couple plans to relocate to the West Coast permanently, having spent the weeks since their withdrawal from the senior royal life living in Canada.
On Wednesday, DailyMail.com exclusively reported that Harry and Meghan are still weighing up their options as far as their decision to settle down, with Malibu, New York City, and Vancouver all in the running as potential home bases.
However, this is understood to be the first visit to California that the couple has made together in some time, although it is not known whether the couple took baby Archie with them on the trip, or whether they chose to stay on the West Coast in order to spend time with Meghan’s mother Doria, who lives in Los Angeles – a six-hour drive away from Stanford.
Upon their arrival at the campus, Harry and Meghan ‘were personally greeted by Marc Tessier-Lavigne, the university’s president’, before attending ‘brainstorming sessions’ with staff members who are helping them ‘with their ongoing work to establish a new charitable organization’.
When the couple first announced their plans to step back from senior royal life they made mention of their plans to launch a new charity, writing on their website that their decision to split their time between North America and the UK would help them in this endeavor.
‘This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity,’ they wrote.
It is unclear what role the Stanford professors and academics have within this new entity, nor have Harry and Meghan made clear exactly what cause, or causes, the organization will focus on.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Stanford University for comment.
Interestingly, Meghan did not choose to visit her alma mater – Northwestern University in Illinois – for the brainstorming session, which raises further questions about whether the couple’s visit to California saw them sewing seeds for a more permanent set-up on the West Coast.
