When it comes to fashion, Meghan Markle [1] consistently exceeds our expectations [2]. Since becoming the Duchess of Sussex, the 36-year-old has given us plenty of outfit inspiration, wearing some of the most stylish ensembles [3] and making us fall head over heels in love with the most unexpected neckline [4]. But when it comes to her royal style, it seems Meghan hasn't just found her power color [5]: she's also found her go-to designer: Clare Waight Keller.
Just like Kate Middleton is known for wearing Alexander McQueen on repeat [6], Meghan has worn many Givenchy ensembles since her wedding to Prince Harry. Clare Waight Keller announced her departure from Givenchy on April 10, 2020 [7], but Meghan wore her fair share of looks during Clare's reign. While the most memorable one was, of course, her stunning wedding dress [8], the duchess has also favored Clare's talent for some of the most significant events in her royal life, from her first trip with the queen [9] to her first appearance at Royal Ascot [10]. Ahead, get a closer look at all the times Meghan has stunned in Givenchy by Clare Waight Keller, and shop some of the exact pieces she's worn.
