Hot on the heels of her second patronage visit on Wednesday (Jan. 16, 2019), Meghan Markle went home for a quick outfit change before joining her husband, Prince Harry, for a performance of Cirque du Soleil’s Totem. The Sentebale fundraiser saw the royal mom-to-be showing that “Markle Sparkle” in a sequinned Roland Mouret gown as she sweetly cradled her bump and held her husband’s hand. The Duchess of Sussex was a vision at the glitzy affair in a $7,400 design by the French designer, a good friend who has dressed her on many occasions. The navy boatneck “Sarandon” dress, with its long sleeves and knee-high slit, perfectly hugged Markle’s growing baby bump as she met Cirque officials and made her way into Royal Albert Hall. She carried a Givenchy clutch, wore a bracelet that belonged to Princess Diana and anchored the look with what appear to be Stuart Weitzman’s black Nudist sandals. The royal wore her shiny locks in a sleek bun and amped up her makeup look from earlier with a bold berry lip. Prince Harry looked perfectly dapper by her side in a navy suit.—Jessica Pollack, Hello!

After announcing her first four patronages last Thursday, Meghan Markle paid a visit to one of them: Mayhew. Looking perfectly chic in monochrome cream, the pregnant royal mingled with dogs and cats and learned about the charity’s work. The Duchess of Sussex mixed high- and low-end pieces to create the ultimate maternity look. Covering her baby bump in H&M’s bump-hugging Mama Fine-Knit Dress, she accessorized with a pair of sling-back Manolo Blahnik ‘Allura 105’ pumps, an Emporio Armani cream cashmere coat and her Stella McCartney Falabella Reversible tote, which is made from vegan leather.

Looking radiant in red, Duchess Meghan delighted her many admirers for a walkabout on Monday, January 14, 2019. And fans didn’t forget to ask some very important questions, including one about her due date. The 37-year-old, who’s around six months pregnant, showed off her style savvy and revealed she’s due at the end of April. One onlooker, Kitty Dudley, 9, of St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, shared a brief moment she shared with the royal beauty: “I asked her if she was having a girl or a boy and she said she didn’t know.” The former Suits star dazzled in bright colours, keeping her blossoming baby bump extra warm in a cherry red coat by Canadian label Sentaler and a purple dress (now, sadly, sold out) by Babaton for Aritzia. (She wore the exact same coat in a camel hue for her first Christmas at Sandringham in 2017, just months after announcing her engagement to Prince Harry.) She anchored the look with a matching pair of red pumps and, of course, styled her hair in her trademark messy bun.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

The Duchess of Sussex’s patronages have been revealed eight months after her royal wedding to Prince Harry and the eight organizations are all in line with the mom-to-be’s passions. “The Duchess of Sussex will become Patron of four organisations that reflect the causes and issues with which she has long been associated including the arts, access to education, support for women and animal welfare,” said Kensington Palace in a tweet. Fans have been eager to know Meghan’s official causes and they were surely thrilled with the selection. Smart Works, which the pregnant royal visited on Thursday (Jan. 10, 2019) following the announcement of her patronages, helps unemployed and disadvantaged women to gain confidence and skills to help them find jobs. Stylish Meghan, clad in an Oscar de la Renta coat, Hatch dress (available at Shopbop) and cow-print pumps, hung out in the organization’s closet lending advice to ladies getting dressed ahead of their job interviews.—Jessica Pollack, Hello!

Last year all eyes were on the future Duchess of Sussex on Christmas Day as she publicly curtsied to the Queen for the first time ever, and now Markle has returned to the scene for another holiday season with her new Royal Family.

As she arrived at Buckingham Palace with Prince Harry, fans got a glimpse of the striking baubles as well as her pretty, semi-sheer Erdem dress (which she wore in 2016 on the TODAY show). This is the newly minted royal’s second time attending the monarch’s annual holiday kickoff.

The mom-to-be wore a form-fitting, floral dress for the occasion and topped it off with Canadian accents — a grey coat by Soia & Kyo and delicate tear-shaped Birks earrings. Meghan had a ball talking shop with residents who used to work in the entertainment industry, looking radiant as she revealed that she feels “very pregnant” today. She chose Brock Collection’s $1,700 Odilia Floral Print Panelled Midi Dress, featuring an open neckline and pretty gathered cap sleeves. Keeping the winter chill at bay, the duchess turned to the $550 ADELAIDA slim fit maxi-length classic wool coat by one of her go-to Canadian outerwear brands, Soia & Kyo. Prince Harry’s wife anchored the look with her fave Aquazzura Deneuve Bow pumps in nude and carried a Wilbur & Gussie silk envelope clutch.

Duchess Meghan shocked and delighted fans on Monday (Dec. 10, 2018) when she made a surprise appearance at The Fashion Awards 2018 at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Clad in a stunning, asymmetrical black gown with gold accessories, the pregnant royal protectively cradled her baby bump as she presented a very special award to her wedding dress designer, Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy. Her one-shoulder gown beautifully skimmed her baby bump. The royal paired the look with metallic shoes and accessorized with gold studs and a stack of gilded bangles, all by Pippa Small. The gown featured a fluttering slit, all the better to show off her stunning Tamara Mellon Karat sandals. The duchess also donned dark nail polish — a deep burgundy hue — instead of the usual pale pink (Essie’s Ballet Slippers is a favourite). “It is such an honour to be here celebrating British fashion and British fashion designers in my new home of the U.K.,” the 37-year-old said as the audience erupted into cheers. Referring to female Creative Director of Givenchy, Meghan said: “When you choose to wear a certain designer, we’re not just a reflection of their creativity and their vision but we’re also an extension of their values, of something in the fabric so to speak that is much more meaningful.”—Hello!

Though she’s made the United Kingdom her new home, the mom-to-be never leaves her former home base of Canada too far behind. Keeping her warm for a the London visit that day was the Long Cocoon Coat by Aritizia’s higher-end label Wilfred, currently available for $350.

The Duchess of Sussex delighted fans with a surprise outing on Wednesday (Nov. 21, 2018) to reunite with women affected by the Grenfell Tower fire that claimed the lives of at least 72 people last year. But today was no somber affair – Markle was on hand to see the Hubb Community Kitchen’s stunning new facilities, funded by Together: Our Community Cookbook, her first solo charity project. The mother-to-be was dressed to impress for the occasion in a coordinated coat and dress before the foodie rolled up her sleeves to help out in the kitchen. The duchess absolutely dazzled in one of her favourite designers, the Canadian-founded Club Monaco. Wearing a new colour and silhouette, the Suits alum chose the burgundy “Sallyet” dress and a nearly matching coat, the “Daylina.” The best part? They are both still available, and the coat is even on sale in two different colours for $369. Mixing the more affordable look with some high-fashion booties, Meghan looked no further than her wedding gown designer, Givenchy, for a chic pair. Finishing the look off with black tights, a couple of simple rings (one reads “love,” by designer Meredith Hahn) and a perfectly messy low ponytail, she was ready to throw on some gloves and get to cooking.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

Prince Charles’ milestone birthday bash, hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace on Nov. 14, 2018 brought out the best in style. And while the private affair means the family won’t officially pose, the sartorially savvy royals still managed to make a statement from the passenger seats of their cars, opting to let their massive, sparkling earrings do the talking. The Duchess of Sussex wore a stunning pair of diamond chandelier earrings that she recycled from her royal tour wardrobe, first wearing them in Fiji at an official reception with Prince Harry. While not many details are known about these particular jewels, it’s been reported that they were borrowed, but the palace has not confirmed which member of the royal family handed them over. Wearing her hair up in a chic chignon, she looked fresh and polished with a simple smoky eye, peach lip and a dark gown.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

After arriving in Dublin, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended a garden party at the British Ambassador’s home. Markle wore her third outfit of the day — a sleeveless black Emilia Wickstead dress (with pockets!), a black clutch, and the black Aquazzura pumps she wore to the Young Leaders Award Ceremony. Wickstead was an interesting choice, as the designer tweeted that Markle’s Givenchy wedding dress was very similar to one of her own designs and later clarified that she did not think Givenchy had copied it by any means. We’re glad to see there really is no animosity between Markle and the designer!

Markle was no exception in a new black and white Philip Treacy hat.

Just like William and Kate before them, the newlyweds changed for their private evening wedding reception.

At her wedding, Markle wore a timeless Givenchy gown designed by Clare Waight Keller – Givenchy’s first female artistic director. With the classic bateau neckline, the dress is a nod to the fashion house founder’s Hubert de Givenchy’s most-famous muse: Audrey Hepburn. In her long veil, Markle wanted to incorporate all 53 members of the Commonwealth. A flower from each country was selected and hand-embroidered into the veil, along with Markle’s personal favorite blossoms — the Wintersweet flower grown at Nottingham Cottage, and the California poppy from her home state.
