Meghan Markle Named 2019's Most Powerful Dresser: See Her 10 Best Looks of the Year

<a href="https://people.com/tag/meghan-markle/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Meghan Markle;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Meghan Markle</a> made a bold fashion statement in her first outing of 2019 with <a href="https://people.com/tag/prince-harry/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Prince Harry;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Prince Harry</a>, pairing a bright purple dress with a red coat and shoes for a head-turning color combination. The perfect accessory? Her growing baby bump!

Meghan upped the glam factor for a performance of Totem by Cirque du Soleil held at Royal Albert Hall in January, opting for a midnight blue sequined gown.

The royal mom-to-be looked regal in a bespoke dress by Dior featuring draped sleeves for a reception during the couple's tour of Morocco in February.

The couple finished up their <a href="https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-prince-harry-morocco-royal-tour/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:three-day tour of Morocco;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">three-day tour of Morocco</a> with a visit with Mohammed VI, the King of Morocco, at a royal residence. Meghan chose a bespoke dress by Carolina Herrera, a blue-patterned ensemble with flowing sleeves — and Prince Harry matched with blue suede shoes!

For a March reception at Buckingham Palace to mark the 50th anniversary of the investiture of the Prince of Wales, Meghan wore her trusty Amanda Wakeley white coat over a metallic brocade knee-length dress for the perfect hint of daytime elegance.

In one of her final public appearances before welcoming son Archie, Meghan celebrated Commonwealth Day at London's Canada House in a knee-length green jacket with delicate appliqué hugged her baby bump. The coat also had a fun connection to Meghan’s mom, <a href="https://people.com/tag/doria-ragland/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Doria Ragland;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Doria Ragland</a>. According to designer Erdem, the black floral embellishments are known as the “Doria beaded rose embroidery.”

Meghan made her mommy debut in a favorite style: a white trench dress tied at the waist with a bow.

Another one of Meghan's go-to (and easily replicated) ensembles is pairing a simple top — a <a href="https://mishanonoo.com/collections/tops/products/boyfriend-tank-2-0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:black tank from her desiger friend Misha Nonoo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">black tank from her desiger friend Misha Nonoo</a> — with a <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8029122/type/dlg/sid/PEO,MeghanMarkleNamed2019'sMostPowerfulDresser:SeeHer10BestLooksoftheYear,stephpetit,Unc,Gal,7450656,201911,I/https://www.jcrew.com/p/AC472?cjevent=76e564b90b0711ea832f05ac0a24060f&" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:J.Crew statement skirt;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">J.Crew statement skirt</a>, like she did during her tour of South Africa in September.

The Duchess of Sussex rocked the perfect autumnal outfit — a red leather pencil skirt from Hugo Boss and a matching burgandy sweater — for a roundtable discussion on gender equality with The Queens Commonwealth Trust at Windsor Castle in October.

Meghan bundled up in a navy teddy coat while paying tribute to fallen soldiers at the the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey. She topped off the look with a chic fascinator by Philip Treacy.
