The Essential Elements of Meghan Markle’s Maternity Style

Last October, Meghan Markle announced her pregnancy at the beginning of a 16-day tour of the South Pacific, and went on to set a high bar for maternity style in trench coats, dresses with bold patterns, and enough pairs of suede slingbacks to last a lifetime. Little did we know that Meghan’s style in Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, and Fiji was just the beginning. In the months since, she has established a royal maternity wardrobe for the ages—and reports say it is the most expensive one yet.

Her outfits have been an eclectic mix of bespoke and off-the-rack, and have proven to be just as influential as what she wore before the announcement. She has mostly stayed away from looks especially designed for pregnancy, opting instead for regular garments with a roomier fit. Unbuttoned blazers have been her staple over the last six months, which she pairs with dresses and jeans alike.

Most notable was her continued love for heels on through the eighth month of her pregnancy. If we needed any evidence that Meghan is not only an impressive lady, but an immortal being, we have found it. But that’s not to say she doesn’t love putting her feet up now that her public schedule has wound down.
