The ever-chic Meghan Markle has always been someone to look to when it comes to fashion. Back when she was still an actress, Meghan rocked just about every red carpet with A+ outfits and dresses, and we're really starting to wonder just how she flew under the radar for so long. A fashion sense like hers deserves to be recognized, and now luckily for us (and her) she has the perfect platform to show off her best stuff, all thanks to the royal family. And thanks to the royal family's budget, as well. Ever since her marriage to Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex has shown us that she didn't come to play, and she has stepped out in some of the most perfect royal outfits.
If there's one thing we know for sure, it's that Meghan is just getting started. Sure, she's been limited for the last couple of months because of her pregnancy with the couple's first royal baby. However, even with a growing baby bump, Meghan has still found ways to make sure her sense of style has shown through.
We'd be lying if we said we weren't sure about what Meghan's royal style was going to look like. Before being associated with Prince Harry, Meghan had complete freedom with her clothes, and of course, she wore super cute mini dresses and shorts regularly. Things have changed for her, though, and now she has to live and dress by the queen's rules. Meghan has definitely stretched some of the royal style guidelines, and her regal fashion has evolved better than anyone could have expected. And so, here are 40 of the Duchess of Sussex's best royal looks so far.
Check out our Meghan Markle page for all the latest news about Meghan, Prince Harry, and their growing family.
Glowing Peach
Meghan was positively radiant in this all-blush outfit, and we're thinking this should definitely be her color of choice from now on.
Sweet Mesh
For her first appearance after the wedding, Meghan opted for a fairly safe, but oh-so-elegant blush and white ensemble. If we only knew what great fashion moments were to come …
Pops of Color
For most people, two bright and bold colors worn together would completely wash them out, but somehow, this duchess looks even more radiant in show-stopping shades.
Pulling It All Off
OK — is the duchess just showing off now?? Meghan can seriously pull off yellow like the best of them, and we want to know how.
Bundled Up
We're sure that London air can get pretty frigid in the winter, so bundling up is imperative. BUT no one ever said Meghan couldn't look super stylish while doing so, right?
Effortlessly Chic
Sure, Meghan is making her way to her cookbook charity event, but does that mean she's going to look any less chic when walking? Not a chance.
The LBD
Meghan has worn LBD after LBD since becoming a royal, but we think this one during her and Harry's tour Down Under is one of her best.
Royal Cape
Meghan has been all about the cape silhouettes since becoming a royal, and now it looks like nothing has changed when she transitioned into royal maternity style.
Radiant in Blue
Remember how we thought dusty peach was Meghan's perfect color? Well … never-mind … it's definitely light blue. At this point, we should just say that the duchess can wear any color of the rainbow.
All Sparkles
Not too many people could pull off an all-sparkly gown while several months pregnant, but then again, we all already knew that Meghan wouldn't shy away from anything.
Very Bashful
Why so secretive, Meg? The duchess wore this affordable flowy dress to a friend's wedding, but we think more people remember her bra strap accidentally slipping out more than they remember the dress.
Lady in Red
Every royal lady needs a good red dress on hand for any occasion, and we think Meghan has definitely found hers.
Royal Business
Another business-inspired outfit from the duchess! We really hope the royal family doesn't start nixing her tuxedo pants, because we really love this style on Meghan.
Royal Dress
A knee-length dress while pregnant … in the dead of winter? Part of us is saying "what was Meghan thinking" and the other part is saying "bravo."
Perfectly Autumn
Now we don't like to play favorites, but this outfit might just make it to the top of our list. Meghan, if you're reading this: Wear more maroon!
All White
We know from her wedding that Meghan can most certainly pull off the all-white ensemble, and it looks like she's just trying to make sure we never forget that fact.
Classic Combo
A plain black dress and a camel-colored coat? Honestly, we've never seen such a better fashion combination than this one. Bravo again, Meg.
Tuxedo'd Up
There's nothing this duchess loves more than a good tuxedo-inspired outfit. We really hope the queen didn't catch a glimpse of this particular one.
Two-Piece Set
Meghan hasn't used too many matching two-piece sets since becoming a royal, but the ones she has worn have been knockouts.
Military Black
Her husband may have to wear the full dress uniform, but Meghan doesn't. She still pays tribute with this military-style button-up dress and fascinator (of course).
Perfectly Draped Scarf
OK — we know Meghan can pretty much do all when it comes to fashion, but how … HOW … did she get her scarf to lay so perfectly on top of her coat?
Daring Skirt
People had a lot to say about this green leather skirt. Of course, fans started saying that she was definitely pregnant (which she was), but us commoners didn't know for sure at the time.
My Fair Lady
Meghan looked like she was straight out of the play My Fair Lady in this outfit for her first Royal Ascot appearance. We can't wait to see what she wears this year … because it's pretty much a given that's she invited again, right?
High-Low
Is Meghan singlehandedly bringing the high-low trend back in style? It sure looks like that's what she's doing.
Lady in Olive
Seriously, how does Meghan pull off these colors that are otherwise considered "ugly?" We want to know all of her secrets.
Princess Ballgown
This dress! It really doesn't get better than this. We hope this is one gown that Meghan chooses to wear time and time again.
Wedding Ensemble
Now this is when Meghan really did have a tiny bump to hide. She didn't let her fashion suffer, however, the duchess chose an elegant coat and let the guessing and speculation continue.
All Green
We should definitely start counting how many different shades of green Meghan wears during her royal engagements. She's covered a lot of ground in less than a year!
The Rumor-Starter
This is another dress that caused a lot of duchess pregnancy talk. No, people … the pleats on the dress just look that way.
Serious & Solemn
Another serious look from Meghan. We have to say, we know the outfits for these engagements aren't as fun as some, but the duchess pulls them off with such grace.
Coat Turned Dress
Everyone's favorite style of coat was turned into a classic dress just for Meghan. We really hope she makes this dress a summer go-to.
Royal Cape
Another cape dress for the duchess! Meghan's blue gown really made her growing bump pop, and that's just one of the reasons why we loved this outfit.
Tuxedo Lady
Keep the business wear coming, please! We know it goes against what Queen Elizabeth wants, but at this point, we find ourselves not caring. Meghan just looks too perfect in the style!
Duchess in Shades
Jeans are a rarity in Meghan's life now, so she has to do what she can. An all-denim dress to bend the rules a little bit? You go, duchess.
Award Show Worthy
Now this outfit no one saw coming. Meghan's surprise appearance caused a stir for many reasons, and of course one of them was her show-stopping black gown.
Anchors Down
For her sister-in-law date with Kate Middleton, Meghan definitely didn't hold back. She's up against Kate's perfect royal style, so the pressure was definitely on. But not really … because both of these ladies can do no wrong when it comes to fashion.
Queen-Approved
The queen couldn't have had any qualms with this outfit of Meghan's. The duchess really had the perfect choice for her first solo outing with the monarch.
Another LBD
OK — this royal LBD is perfection as well. If there's one thing Meghan has gotten right every time since becoming a part of the royal family, it's definitely the little black dress.
Duchess's First Trooping
Meghan broke out an off-the-shoulder look for her first Trooping the Color ceremony, and we're all still wondering how that hat stayed on top of her head.
Fit for the Theatre
Meghan wore yet another tuxedo dress to see Hamilton with her hubby, and honestly, we don't know how Harry kept his hands to himself all night.
