In honour of the Duchess of Sussex's 40th birthday.
Date August 4, 2021
When it comes to style, Meghan Markle has already crafted quite the legacy. In celebration of her 40th birthday, we’re looking back at some of the Duchess of Sussex’s most memorable looks as a royal.
She and Prince Harry might have left their royal titles behind to focus on their growing family and charitable foundation Archewell, but her style continues to have a lasting impact. Since joining the British royal family, Markle has served up a treasure trove of cool, fresh looks that had us (and the world) wanting to emulate her style. She expertly toed the line between royal and runway, all while championing smaller labels (including plenty from Canada) alongside her lineup of luxury brands. She single-handedly made the case for the versatility of a shirt dress, proving that you can wear one for just about any occasion, as well as giving us all a lesson in colour-blocking.
On her 40th birthday, click through our roundup of her 40 best looks.
