Markle’s love for classic colourways dates back to 2007 when she is spotted wearing this black and white dress to a Pre-Golden Globes event in Los Angeles. The star pairs the color-blocked dress with silver metallic pumps and a side-swept ’do for an “Old Hollywood” effortlessly glam look. The classic, feminine silhouette is accented by bold details, such as the oversized bow, which helps to elevate the look.

Markle is playing around with tones and textures in this all-nude look—and we’re here for it! She does not stray from her love of classic colors and cuts in this tank and skirt combo, which is perfectly complimented by the strappy nude sandals. This sophisticated yet stylish look highlights a more professional side of the former actress and can be attributed to her break-out role on Suits, where Markle was played paralegal Rachel Zane.

During the Royal wedding that wowed the world, Markle dons a second dress to the reception, leaving us speechless. The sleek, beautiful Stella McCartney gown shows off Markle’s timeless, contemporary style and features a high neckline and figure-flattering silhouette. In a subtle statement and nod to her husband’s mother, Markle wears an aquamarine cocktail ring that once belonged to Princess Diana to complete her evening wedding attire.

In Markle’s first official engagement alongside Queen Elizabeth II, Markle wears a custom nude dress by Givenchy for the occasion. With her new role as a Royal, she seemingly takes a more traditional approach to her public style. During Markle and Prince Harry’s recent Netflix documentary, Harry and Meghan, she spoke about wearing muted colours while living in London and during her outings with other Royal family members, saying she was “not trying to stand out.”

After announcing earlier in the year that they would be stepping back as Senior members of the Royal family, the happy couple is caught in the rain together attending the Endeavour Fund Awards. Markle is seen smiling in a classic blue Victoria Beckham dress, walking alongside her husband at the event.

This mini-shift dress by Valentino is a new shape and style for Markle, who is previously known for choosing either more flowy or form-fitting dress silhouettes of the modern age. This 1960s-eqse piece is super chic encrusted with jewels for a sparkly touch.

Markle goes for the gold in this dress. At this year’s Women in Vision award ceremony, she dazzles in a gold Johanna Ortiz ensemble and strappy heels. Playing off of the budding metallic trend, Markle has a knack for pairing timeless silhouettes with trend-driven elements.
