During her time as a senior royal, Meghan Markle has appeared in countless noteworthy looks. Beginning with the wedding dress she wore when she said, ‘I do’ to Prince Harry , down to her bold outfit choice for her final official engagement, Commonwealth Day on March 9, the Duchess of Sussex has gained many fashion fans.

As of late, the 38-year-old has been living in vivid color, rocking everything from a striking blue dress, to a bright red number and most recently, a lively emerald gown. As she and her husband near the end of their final chapter as senior members of the royal family on March 31, we’re taking a moment to highlight her best fashion moments.

Based on what we’ve seen thus far, we envision her wardrobe post-royal will be even more enticing, and we can’t wait to see her new sartorial approach.

But for now, below is a round-up of some of Meghan’s best fashion moments as a Duchess. Which one’s your favorite?

Royally chic

Meghan wasn’t technically a royal when she wore this look, but she and Prince Harry were engaged. The former Suits actress wore this sophisticated coat by Sentaler and chic brown accessories on Christmas Day in 2017.

Hats on

For Anzac Day services in April 2018, Prince Harry’s wife donned a smart double-breasted grey coat and topped off her outfit with a natty hat.

Pretty peachy

For Trooping the Colour in 2018, Archie’s mom opted for a peach-colored off-shoulder dress with a matching disc hat.

Bright n’ sunny

We love seeing Meghan in vivid colors such as this canary yellow hue she wore for a ‘Youth Commonwealth’ Youth Challenge reception in 2018. Her dress’ silhouette is sleek and simple, yet it’s the bold color that makes it stand out.

Back in black

Here, Meghan proves that head-to-toe black will always equal to effortless elegance.

Noteworthy stripes

The Duchess slipped into this timeless striped number during her royal tour of Tonga with Harry in 2018. She wore classic heels to match the lines of her dress.

Cream dream

Before becoming a mom to Archie Harrison, Meghan appeared at Commonwealth 2019 wearing this creamy ensemble featuring a chain-printed dress by Victoria Beckham.

Chocolatey delight

One of our ultimate faves is the monochrome get-up she wore to Canada House in January. How cool is she?

Adieu in emerald

For their final official engagement, Meghan stood out in a captivating emerald green dress featuring a cape detail by Emilia Wickstead. She completed her look with a matching netted fascinator by William Chambers and a structured handbag by Gabriela Hearst. So chic!
