Our dear duchess Meghan Markle is still less than a year on the job, and she's already becoming known for so many iconic things. She's not shy about her PDA with husband, Prince Harry, she speaks out for what she believes in, and of course, she isn't afraid to play around with her royal style. From day one as the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan has thought of the royal fashion protocols as more of guidelines than actual rules to follow. Now, we're sure she means no disrespect to the royal family's traditions, but this duchess recognizes that's it 2019 … why can't a royal wear blazers and dress pants? Yes, it's clear that Meghan isn't about to sacrifice boldness for royal regulations.
Because of this, Meghan has worn some things that have amazed just about everyone who looks at her. From bright colors to short mini-dresses, the Duchess of Sussex has tried it all. And, it's no surprise to anyone that she looks absolutely amazing in everything she wears.
After Meghan and Harry made her pregnancy announcement in October 2017, we all thought the classic maternity wear would kick in, but oh no. The duchess hasn't missed a beat with her pregnancy style, and she isn't backing down from any trend or outfits just because her baby bump is getting bigger every day. We owe a lot of our favorite royal styles to the original Kate Middleton, but we're sure that Meghan is going to be paving her own way, just as her sister-in-law did before her.
And so, to give Meghan all the fashion recognition she deserves, here are 40 of her boldest royal styles to date. If there's one thing we know about this duchess, it's that she's definitely not afraid to try anything. Enjoy!
Check out our Meghan Markle page for all the latest news about Meghan, Prince Harry, and their growing family.
Mega Bump
Not many women would opt for a super form-fitting dresses this deep into a pregnancy, but Meghan is all about showing off her adorable bump.
One-Shoulder Gown
Meghan's surprise award show appearance shocked everyone, but what we really loved was how her bump looked in this elegant evening gown.
Red & Purple Duo
Now with this outfit, Meghan isn't just pulling off one bold color, she's rocking two — all while she's pregnant, too! This woman, truly amazing.
Maroon on Maroon
Wearing two shades of the same color? Very risky, Meg.
A Halter Top ... in November
We don't know how Meghan wasn't absolutely freezing walking around in a halter top during an English autumn. Her royal pregnancy glow must be keeping her warm.
A Beret
Oui, duchess. Meghan may be an honorary Brit now, but she has no issue taking some inspiration from the French.
Big Bow
Now that's a big bow keeping Meghan's coat closed, and yet, it still works on her.
High Low
The high-low trend may have been all the rage a few years ago, but this duchess is apparently bringing it back in a big way. You show off those legs, Meghan.
Chunky Boots
Now this isn't the typical footwear we'd expect from a royal, but as we all know, Meghan is doing things her own way.
Tuxedo Mini-Dress
Speaking of legs, Meghan wore this super short, super non-royal tuxedo dress, and we've never been the same since.
'80s Inspired
Those sleeves look like something off of a 1980s prom dress, but Meghan still looks perfect. No complaints here.
Bold Outerwear
Nothing says "notice me" quite like a brightly colored coat. Meghan is standing out like the best of them.
Tiny Cap Sleeves
The smaller the sleeves, the better? For the duchess, the answer is yes.
Green Halter
Meghan surprises us more and more with every outfit she steps out in.
Businesswear
Corporate Meghan! This duchess could rock a budget meeting like it was nothing.
Flock of Birds
Meghan had an entire flock of birds on her evening gown and somehow still managed to look more elegant than she ever has before.
Full on Stripes
There's a lot going on with this striped dress, but Meghan is wearing it like it's a basic gown she just threw on.
Ready for the Island
Island Meghan is our new favorite Meghan. Please, Harry, take her to the beach so we can get more looks like this.
Caped Up
Meghan was channeling her inner super-heroine in this lovely blue cape dress.
Casual Duchess
We never thought we'd see Meghan in this kind of sundress, but we are sure glad we did. That leg slit?? Amazing.
Tortoiseshell Sunglasses
Meghan sure knows how to spice up a casual outfit with fun and unusual accessories. Any way we could borrow these sunglasses, Meg?
Full Buttons
On most people, this dress would look like it was wearing them … not the other way around. Meghan, however, makes it her own, as usual.
Beach Date
A sleeveless dress? On a duchess? It's been done before, but that doesn't mean Meghan is any less of a trailblazer.
Army Green
Army green wouldn't be our first choice for Meghan to wear, but she looks absolutely radiant in it.
Meghan's First Ascot
Meghan certainly didn't hold back for her first Royal Ascot visit. That hat definitely doesn't fly under the radar.
Super Flowy
There were many naysayers hating on this dress, but look, Meghan doesn't have to be wearing figure-hugging outfits all the time. Let the woman wear something comfy for once!
Sailor Meghan
Anchors aweigh, ladies and gents! Meghan's sailor-inspired outfit was a winner, for sure.
Exposed Bra
This may be the boldest of all of Meghan's bold looks. The duchess accidentally exposed her black lace bra, and people acted like it was a catastrophe on a royal level.
Another Tuxedo Dress
You can take the duchess out of Suits, but can't take the Suits out of the duchess, right?
All Denim
Meghan can't wear jeans as often as she used to, so she found a royal compromise. Sneaky, Meg.
Leather Skirt
When has a duchess ever worn a leather (yes, leather) skirt?? Never. Thank you for breaking the boundaries, Meghan.
Suited Duchess
Now the queen may not be a huge fan of Meghan's habit of wearing menswear, but we certainly are.
A Second Wedding Dress
Not many of us can say that we got to wear a second wedding dress. Bold move on Meghan's part? Absolutely.
The LBD
There's nothing new about the classic little black dress, but Meghan's choice of a sleeveless one is definitely refreshing when it comes to royal style.
Caped With the Queen
Meghan wore her first caped dress during her first outing with the queen, and it was definitely a bold and distinctive choice for the duchess. But then again, Meghan has never really shied away from anything.
Trooping Pink
For a while, this particular shade of pink was Meghan's go-to royal color, and for good reason. It's unbelievably flattering on her.
Audrey-Inspired
Not too many people dare to try to recreate the iconic styles that Audrey Hepburn made her own, but Meghan is here, proving that it can be done.
Bright Yellow
Seriously, there isn't any color on the rainbow that Meghan can't pull off beautifully. How does she look so good in this shade of yellow?
Two-Piece Sets
Two-piece sets might seem a little outdated, but nothing is old-fashioned when Meghan Markle is wearing it.
The Classic Blazer
It's rare that we see royals wearing something that us common folk wear often. However, apparently blazers are a wardrobe staple for duchesses, too.
