It's no secret to learn that all eyes where are on the Duchess of Sussex and her fashion choices this year - and with good reason!

Back when she was known as Meghan Markle, the actor was already a style star, known for her elegant yet fashion forward ensembles.

Would she still be able to maintain her signature look when she became royalty in May, after marrying Prince Harry?

The Duchess of Sussex had a night out on the town on Monday as she attended her first Royal Variety Performance. As is the case any time Meghan leaves the house, all eyes were on her outfit.

It would seem like she was harking back to the Nineties in a halterneck top. However, this wasn’t any old top but rather a striking, sequinned situation from London-based brand Safiyaa, with a long black skirt to match.

In honour of Prince Charles' 70th birthday, two new photographs were released of The Prince of Wales sat with his family in the gardens of Clarence House.

Sorry Princess Charlotte!

Tailoring is a big part of the Duchess of Sussex’s wardrobe.

The 37-year-old is frequently seen in a sharp suit jacket, paired with tuxedo trousers or skinny jeans (we loved the oversized white pinstripe blazer she rocked in Sydney recently), but one of the coolest tailored looks she’s worn this year was a dress, rather than separates.

As The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s royal tour draws to a close, we wanted to look back on some of Meghan Markle’s best outfits from the trip that has boosted her style icon status.

We’re seriously envious of Meghan’s maternity wardrobe, which has been style hit after hit –so far! From stunning in Oscar de la Renta, to glowing in olive green and owning the elegant tuxedo dress, the Duchess has given us plenty of fabulous fashion moments throughout the tour.

The Meghan effect is still alive and well –as Australian designer Karen Gee’s website crashed after the Duchess wore one of the brand’s dresses on the first day of her royal tour abroad.

Well it’s official –we’re going to be seeing a lot more of Meghan’s baby bump in the coming months!

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first child in spring next year, Kensington Palace has announced.

The Queen and members of the Royal family are “delighted for the couple and were able to congratulate them on Friday at the wedding in person,” it was revealed, referring to Princess Eugenie’s nuptials.

The rumours are true –Kensington Palace has officially announced that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the spring of 2019.

That means the button-up navy Givenchy coat that Meghan Markle wore to the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, was indeed a custom made maternity look, as we can’t wait to see her mummy-to-be wardrobe unfold over the next few months.

We all take style tips from our BFF’s –as it seems Priyanka Chopra and Meghan Markle are no different.

Spotted in New York, Priyanka Chopra styled a monochrome look that resembled Meghan Markle’s outfit from just a few days before, as despite being thousands of miles apart, the friends are still in (style) sync. Great minds think alike!

Priyanka wore a crimson-red silk blouse paired with a leather pencil skirt by Akris, which she accessorised with striking red Stalvey box bag and the perfect red lip.

The Edinburgh-based accessory label Strathberry first came on our radar when Meghan Markle sported one of their cute burgundy totes during her first royal outing –and we’ve been obsessed ever since. Yet, the Meghan Markle effect meant almost all Strathberry bags became sold out!
