Prince Harry’s Spare, a historic coronation, a controversial car chase- the Sussexes had a lot going on this year. This action-packed year also had the Sussexes globetrotting to Düsseldorf for the Invictus Games and then to NYC for World Mental Health Day. Right in the middle of all the monarchy chaos, Meghan Markle managed to serve up some of the most impressive style statements. From dazzling red carpet moments to the stylish comeback at the Invictus, Markle stepped in front of the flashes and cameras many times this year.

As we enter the year 2024, let’s reflect on the fashion highlights that Markle gifted us with throughout 2023. 

The off-shoulder jumpsuit at Archewell Foundation’s Mental Health Summit 

Throughout the year, Meghan Markle curated a specific color palette and chose monochromatic outfits for her look. For example, she co-hosted the first-ever Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit in New York City wearing an all-white ensemble. The ensemble comprised a chic off-the-shoulder top with a center button-down and matching wide-leg pants. This Altuzarra blazer she wore with the matching white pants and beige Aquazzura pumps cost $987, and the Duchess also accessorized it with a $4,100 gold and emerald choker from Logan Hollowell. 

Markle sported a loosely pulled-back hairstyle pinned at the crown of her head. The Duchess also paired her hairstyle with a smoky eye in a chocolate brown shade, brushed under her lower lashline. To add the finishing touches to her polished look, Meghan Markle went for defined brows and a delicate rose blush. She applied a matte nude rose shade to her lips and chose a neutral nail color, that perfectly complemented her off-white outfit. 

Meghan Markle looks from Invictus Games 2023

Meghan Markle returned in style at the Invictus Games in Germany after a significant hiatus from the spotlight. The Duchess of Sussex wore a silk trench from Cuyana, perfectly paired with matching paper bag pants from the same label. At the wheelchair basketball finals, Markle effortlessly paired dark skinnies priced at $208 with a simple yet refined $98 cashmere top from J Crew. She then moved to a more sporty ensemble on the fifth day, wearing a Chanel cap toe flats with a white J Crew knit jacket worth $158. 

On the same day, she also added a two-tone cardigan with pleated Luisa shorts by Staud worth $175 to her look. This look followed a  $110 Polo Ralph Lauren ensemble and a $345 bronze outfit by L’Agence. And then after a week of neutrals, she ended the Invictus with a burst of gorgeous color. On the final day of the 2023 Invictus games, Markle wore a $498 Cult Gaia Raylene gown in the Seamoss shade.

Reportedly, Markle donned about 380,000$ worth of clothes and jewelry throughout the Invictus Games.

Meghan Markle’s outfit at the Power of Woman event 

Meghan Markle graced the red carpet at the 2023 Variety Power of Women event in Los Angeles in a camel Proenza Schouler dress. What made the outfit stand out among the rest was the asymmetric shoulder detail and a daring thigh-high slit. The Duchess of Sussex completed her look with a black clutch and chic black slingback heels from Aquazzura. The Duchess further went on to accessorize her look with a ring and hoop earrings from Mejuri.

The off-the-shoulder midi dress, with an approximate cost of $1,400, was from Proenza Schouler’s Resort 2024 collection. She styled her dark brown hair into a sleek bun with a middle part and maintained her usual preference for subtle, minimalistic makeup. She did not only flaunt her Californian tan at the event, but also teased her upcoming projects in collaboration with her husband, Prince Harry. 

The glittery golden outfit at the Women of Vision Gala

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry turned heads in New York City at the Women of Vision gala. The 41-year-old Duchess of Sussex opted for a royal touch in a quilted gold Johanna Ortiz dress worth a whopping $1,850. Unlike Markle’s other modest outfits, this strapless dress took a bold departure by featuring a delicate diamond cutout and a knee-length slit. Adding a touch of luxury to the ensemble, Meghan Markle gold padlocked Tom Ford stilettos worth $1,350. 

She also added a sunshine-yellow Carolina Herrera clutch to bring the look together. The Duchess accessorized her outfit with shimmering J.Crew hoop earrings and diamond bracelets on her left wrist, including a Cartier design that was once owned by Princess Diana, costing anywhere between $18,000 and $150,000. Markle opted for a simple makeup look, while her hair cascaded in loose waves on one side. 

The After screening event 

The Duchess of Sussex brought a casually chic flair to Misan Harriman’s Netflix short film, The After’s screening. She went for a chic chocolate brown blazer, paired with what seemed to be a matching turtleneck dress reminiscent of Ralph Lauren’s cozy style worth $209. She gracefully pulled her hair back into a ponytail and got her manicure on point before the event. For pieces of jewelry, the 42-year-old added textured Roxanne First gold hoops worth $168. 

Additionally, the jewelry also included a Logan Hollowell diamond constellation ring worth $1680. Apart from her elegant double-breasted blazer with turtle-neck dress, she also wore high-waisted suit trousers. To round off the chic appearance, she opted for black pointed-toe pumps. As usual, the Duchess kept her makeup subtle and minimalistic. 

Beyoncé’s Renaissance concert looks

Meghan Markle indulged in a double treat at the Renaissance World Tour concerts. The first time she attended the tour was with her husband Prince Harry, and then the second time, she grooved to Beyoncé’s tunes with Kerry Washington and Kelly Rowland. With Prince Harry, Markle wore a sequin skirt from SPRWMN and a white tank.

And the second time, with her gal-pals, she opted for a black Anine Bing top and silver skirt. In both looks, Markle let her long dark hair down in loose waves and also complied with Beyoncé’s dress code request on both nights. While Markle kept it casual with a metallic silver skirt and a basic black high-neck top, her friends spiced things up with corsets and chokers.
