Meghan Markle's Complete Style Evolution, in 74 Outfits
It'll probably be a while until the excitement of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's engagement wears off. (Just kidding, we'll never be over it.) And already the Duchess-to-be is proving to be a fashion influence: Royal fans were immediately smitten with the outfit Markle wore to share her new relationship status with the world—so much so that her coat immediately sold out and was renamed after her. If you go back through the archives, though, even back to her pre-Suits days, the actress has always shown a proclivity for fashion: She considers designer Misha Nonoo a friend, and has made the rounds on the Fashion Week circuit; she gravitated toward simple sheath dresses earlier on in her career but has since graduated to more varied pieces from labels like Alexander McQueen and Erdem. Judging from her style evolution, we have a feeling we'll be getting even more great fashion inspiration from Markle once she assumed the royal spotlight.
Pass the time until her spring 2018 "I Do"s with a look back at Markle's complete fashion transformation over the past 11 years, as told through 74 outfits.
