  • The Suits and 90210 actress rocked the red carpet in all manner of little black dresses before meeting Prince Harry – then she transitioned to something more conservative
  • From her Givenchy wedding dress and Victoria Beckham pregnancy frock to a J. Crew denim shirt for an Instagram appearance with Archie, has her look come full circle?

Meghan Markle’s style has changed a lot since she’s been in the public eye. She swapped daring red carpet outfits for more conservative looks when she started dating Prince Harry, and shifted her style again after stepping back from the royal family.

Here’s how the controversial former Suits star’s wardrobe has changed over the years – and how she’s always managed to looked great, no matter the occasion.

Around the time Markle had parts in CSI: New York and 90210, she began establishing her early red carpet style. The then 25 year old attended a 2007 pre-Golden Globes event in a black and white dress that had a strapless neckline and oversized bow detailing on the bodice.
