The Duchess of Sussex had a very different style when she was one of the supporting actresses of 'Suits'.
Life can surprise you at any time. This could be what Meghan Markle thought when she met Prince Harry of England. According to a Channel 4 documentary, Harry of England fell in love with Markle because of the actress' role in 'Suits'. Through a friend they had in common, they met and sparks flew.
However, the media boom came when the couple announced their engagement. They did so on November 27, 2017, after almost two years of dating. The big chapter in this story was the wedding, which was held in St. George's Chapel, inside Windsor Castle, on May 19, 2018. How could the actress think that she would complete the British Royal Crown.
Daughter of an African-American psychotherapist and a retired director of photography, the American was very clear that she wanted to dedicate herself to the world of acting. Although she has always shown a desire to return to university, her work as a model and actress has prevented her from doing so. Meghan Markle is a key pillar in the USA Networks series, where she plays Rachel.
The media coverage of Meghan Markle skyrocketed when the royal engagement was announced. One of Diana of Wales's sons would walk down the aisle with the actress. From that moment on, the American captured all eyes and everything changed. And when we refer to everything, it includes her styles. It is well known that the British Royal family follows a very strict protocol, including clothing.
It happened to Kate Middleton, wife of William of Cambridge, and now the same thing has happened to Meghan Markle. The actress's style has completely transformed. She has gone from wearing short dresses, bright colors and striking makeup, to pastel-colored clothes, headdresses as accessories, and a nude-toned beauty look. A style faithful to the image of a duchess who follows the protocol of one of the most popular monarchies in the world. Taking a look back, we analyze the evolution of the actress's style since 2014 until she became the wife of the now Duke of Sussex.
Evolution
A year after divorcing Trevor Engelson, an American film producer, the actress appeared happy and spontaneous in front of the media. Her new stage in life was reflected in both her attitude and her clothes. Markle wore colorful clothes with cheerful prints, such as white or flowers. As for the length, the actress usually wore short clothes and stiletto heels, a style that stylized her figure and gave prominence to her spectacular legs.
In her 2014 outfits, we highlight the dress she chose for the Elton John AIDS Foundation event in New York. The actress opted for a mermaid-style dress, in a greenish blue color and with wide straps. To complete the look, she opted for a medium-length updo with the front strands outside her hairstyle, giving it a casual touch.
Same line, different clothes
We start in 2015, the year in which Meghan Markle presented her new work on the big screen, 'Anti-Social'. It was also a time marked by several events, where the actress showed her style in the spotlight. The American actress' clothes were usually short dresses, in metallic or striking colors, such as red or turquoise.
There was also no shortage of plunging necklines or sheer tops. As for accessories, Meghan was not very keen on trying out accessories, such as scarves or turbans. What was a must in her looks was a handbag, which she usually combined with the colours or prints of the clothes she wore for the occasion. As for hairstyles, the American usually wore her wavy hair with a side part. We also can't forget her low buns, present in some of the shows she attended.
Formality
In 2016, Meghan Markle's style underwent a small change. The actress's style became more refined and elegant. It was precisely the year in which the actress began a relationship with Prince Harry, at that time unknown to the public. In addition, she was named global ambassador for 'World Vision Canada' and continued as an advisor to the international charity 'One Young World'.
Because of these small details, casual clothes began to be reduced and suits or midi dresses gained prominence. Although, on some occasions, Meghan Markle's taste for striking prints and bright colours returned. Proof of this is the red dress she chose for the ELLE 'Women in Television' party in 2016.
Engaged
The crucial moment of Meghan Markle's style has arrived. The moment that marked a before and after in the actress's looks. At the end of 2017, Prince Harry introduced his future wife, Meghan Markle. For that news, the American already showed off her new style as fiancée and future member of the British Royal Family. The actress appeared in a white coat and a black midi-cut dress.
The headdress also marked a new phase in the American's style. This accessory became the focus of attention after Meghan Markle was announced as the fiancée of one of Diana, Princess of Wales's sons. She has worn it on several occasions, all of them for events related to the representation of the British Royalty.
Duchess of Sussex
The wedding of the year, possibly, took place on May 19, 2018. The couple's union was broadcast live in several countries around the world and thousands of curious people came to witness this royal wedding. One of the biggest unknowns of the ceremony was the bride's dress. For this royal wedding, Meghan opted for simplicity with a half-sleeved dress, without any rhinestones or lace.
As a second dress, the American opted for another simple garment, but this time with a swan neck. After marrying Prince Harry, both became Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And this detail was also noticeable in Meghan Markle's outfits. Pastel tones began to dye the actress's midi dresses. Headdresses are gaining ground and belts cannot be missing either, which stylize the figure of the duchess. All these elements create a style in keeping with the British royal family and Meghan Markle may be one of the best dressed in the British monarchy.
