Meghan Markle Had the Best Maternity Style, Now Let Her Looks Inspire You

Meghan Markle knew how to accessorize her baby bump — tailored coats, Aquazzura slingbacks, delicate diamond earrings, and Dior clutches.

Since Kensington Palace announced Prince Harry and the duchess were expecting, Meghan built a royal maternity wardrobe fit for a queen. Designers like Givenchy, Oscar de la Renta, and Carolina Herrera lined the racks. While Meghan had a closet full of couture to choose from, she also didn't overlook more affordable brands during her pregnancy, like H&M, J.Crew, and Aritzia. And she wasn't afraid to repeat an outfit, either. No matter who or what she wore, Meghan's maternity style was simple yet sophisticated, fun and flirty, but still appropriate — a lesson in fashion we could all learn something from.

Now that the Duke and Duchess have welcomed their baby boy, get inspired and follow these 28 Markle-inspired maternity style-tips to influence your own mommy-to-be wardrobe.
