Meghan Markle is officially a duchess. And if her elegant and minimal Givenchy wedding dress and stunning Stella McCartney reception dress are anything to go by, it’s safe to say that we have a lot of sartorial goodness to look forward to as she takes on her new role in the royal family. Granted, Meghan has already wowed us with her chic outfits since her engagement to Harry—with every piece she wears selling out almost immediately and garnering an extensive waiting list.
While abiding by the royal rules—think: knee-length (or longer) skirt lengths, natural-colored nails, and hats for formal daytime events—she has also bent them in a modern way. She famously wore black to a daytime event (once reserved for only evening events or when in mourning), wore a pantsuit to an official engagement (where skirts and dresses are considered more appropriate), and donned a sleeveless dress, which is typically not the royal norm. She is definitively putting her own stamp on royal style.
And when it comes to dresses, she has impeccable taste, wearing a mix of high and low designers from Self-Portrait to Altuzarra to Jason Wu and Black Halo. If you haven’t been able to get your hands on those sold-out dresses, don’t worry. We’ve rounded up some excellent options that are polished and exude a Markle vibe.
