Let’s face it, Meghan Markle has always had a great sense of style.
That being said, she stepped up her game when she started dating Prince Harry – and since becoming the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan has become as much of a royal fashion icon as her husband’s late mother, Princess Diana.
It then comes as no surprise that she has nabbed the top spot in the ranking for most influential celebrity dresser in the annual Lyst ‘Year in Fashion’ report for 2019.
We hear you, Lyst and we agree.
To celebrate the Duchess’ fabulous fashion choices, here are some of her best looks since she became a part of the royal family.
The wedding reception outfit
On her special day in May 2018, Meghan wore a silk gown designed by British fashion designer Claire Waight Keller, the artistic director at Givenchy.
However, while it was admittedly a beautiful wedding dress, the real stunner of the day was this bespoke high-neck gown by Stella McCartney made from silk crepe.
It screamed old school glamour, and Meghan looked fantastic in it.
The Cape Town outfit
On their tour of Cape Town, Meghan sported laid-back looks.
One of our favourites is this flowing sky blue dress by Veronica Beard, paired with the same Castañer espadrilles that she wore during her Royal Tour in Australia.
We love a recycled royal shoe.
The other Cape Town outfit
The Veronica Beard dress wasn’t the only stunning fashion choice that the Duchess made during her Cape Town visit.
For her meeting with female entrepreneurs in technology, she rocked a long black jumpsuit from Everlane.
She added some glitz by pairing it with round gold earrings from GAS Bijoux.
The big baby moment outfit
On 8 May, the British public finally got to meet Meghan and Harry’s son – Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
He was undoubtedly captivating, but so was his mother in her sleeveless trench dress by Grace Wales Bonner.
But with that new-mum glow, she could have been wearing an old t-shirt and jeans, and she would still have looked fantastic.
The Wimbledon outfit
Meghan isn’t just an expert on how to dress up, she’s also great at dressing down.
When she attended a Wimbledon tennis match, the Duchess wore jeans with a black shirt and a striped blazer.
Her Panama-style hat from Madewell x Biltmore was the big hit though – and it was super affordable, too (that is, until it sold out straight after Meg wore it).
The laid-back outfit
If you thought Meghan hasn’t adjusted to the rainy British weather, you’d be wrong.
Once again proving that she’s the queen of chic casual wear, she donned a black ankle-length pantsuit from Alexander McQueen for the Endeavour Fund Awards’ Ceremony in 2018.
And she paired it with pointed stilettos, her signature shoe style.
We don’t often see the Duchess in print, but she treated us to this gem on International Women’s Day.
The 70s style mini dress is Azzura by the high street brand, Reiss, and the black blazer if by Alexander McQueen.
As for her accessories, Meghan went with Manolo Blahnik pumps and earrings from Jessica McCormack.
The Morocco trip outfit
On the third day of the royal couple’s trip to Morocco, where they visited King Mohammed VI, the Duchess wore this incredible Carolina Herrera gown.
If you fancy picking up the blue, patterned dress for yourself, it’ll cost you £3,222.
Or maybe just get something similar from a high street shop, and spend the rest of the money on a holiday in Morocco.
The nod to Suits outfit
When she stepped out at the Chichester Enginering and Digital Technology Park in Bognor Regis, we got throwback feels to Meghan’s actor days.
Her moss green leather pencil skirt from Hugo Boss looked very much like something that her character on Suits, Rachel, would buy.
She paired it with a matching green shirt from & Other Stories (the chain owned by H&M) and a nude Armani coat.
The Commonwealth Youth Challenge outfit
Meghan wore this Brandon Maxwell dress for the Commonwealth Youth Challenge last year.
It was an unusual choice for the Duchess, who doesn’t usually favour strong colours but this pop of yellow suited her perfectly.
And the understated nude pumps just made the outfit that much better.
The Edinburgh visit outfit
During a visit to Edinburgh in 2018, Meghan wore a gorgeous double-faced tartan coat from Burberry – an excellent choice for a trip to Scotland.
She’s not the only royal to favour this design.
Her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, wore a tartan dress by Alexander McQueen when she visited Dundee with Prince William.
The engagement announcement outfit
Last but not least, it’s the outfit that will forever be remembered as the look of a new royal being born.
For her engagement day, Meghan chose a white belted coat by the Canadian brand Line The Label.
Let’s face it though, we were all too busy looking at the ring on her finger to really notice the outfit – the sapphire diamond that once belonged to the late Princess of Wales, Diana.
