12. London – 2018
Before Meghan and Prince Harry could even wed, the two announced that they were going to hit the ground running as an official married couple and would not be going on their honeymoon right away as they already had a royal duty to attend to. On Tuesday, May 22, three days after their wedding, the pair stepped out for the first time since their wedding as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Meghan’s look was dramatically different than almost anything else we had seen in her in. She fully embraced the role of Duchess and went for a traditional royal look with a pale pink-and-white dress with sheer detailing and a matching pale pink hat with her hair in a Kate Middleton-esque side chignon. Along with ditching her signal messy bun, for the first time, Meghan adhered to the royal protocol of wearing pantyhose, which she had previously rejected.

This Meghan Markle look is absolutely iconic! It’s definitely a look that her character Rachel Zane from Suits would wear with its tweed material, clean lines, and professional vibes.

As an actress that previously worked and lived in Toronto, Meghan is definitely no newbie when it comes to chic outerwear!

Her glossy locks swept over one shoulder and she added a wine-colored lip for extra glamour.

7. The Moth’s Storytelling Tour — 2012
Navy seems to be one of Markle’s go-to colors and it’s hard to blame her for that! Navy is a softer, chicer version of black and looks great on basically every skin tone and hair color. This particular lace dress was one of Markle’s standout fashion moments. The dress was quite Kate Middleton-inspired and featured sheer lace sleeves, a minidress hemline and a flattering lace edging around the neck. Her auburn-tinted locks fell in classic beach waves around her shoulders and she kept the accessories minimal with a pair of simple nude pumps.

Meghan Markle is all about sophisticated cuts, minimal embellishment, and rich colors, which is the epitome of this look! The metallic number grabs attention with its shiny texture but is still relatively modest with its long sleeves and structured shape. She paired the look with a gunmetal smokey eye and clear accessories to add a trendy and contemporary twist to her outfit.

To add even more class, Markle swept her hair into a polished side updo and wore golden chandelier earrings that matched with her clutch.

Of all her looks, the engagement announcement outfit has got to be her most iconic to date!

1. Wedding Reception – 2018
Leading up to Meghan and Prince Harry’s May 19th wedding, anticipation was at an all-time high as many couldn’t wait to catch a glimpse of her wedding gown, but what they didn’t know was that it was her reception dress that was going to steal the show. After looking impeccable in a simple and elegant Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy gown for the actual wedding, Meghan got changed and stepped out for her evening wedding reception at Frogmore House in a jaw-dropping Stella McCartney gown. Much like the first gown, the reception dress had no lace or flashy embellishments, but it was certainly not needed as the Stella McCartney dress was more revealing and sexy with a high halter neckline and open back, which made Meghan look not only fantastic but absolutely ready to dance the night away with her new husband.
