5 Meghan Markle-Inspired Wedding Guest Dresses

While Meghan and Prince Harry may have taken a step back from their duties as royals, the Duchess of Sussex will always remain a global style icon. During her time as an active member of the royal family, Meghan attended quite a few weddings, always serving the most sophisticated and classic looks (looks we also still admire today!).

From what we've seen of her wedding guest style, Markle often gravitates toward darker navy and blue hues, keeping her ensembles crisp and refined. As for accessories, she tends to take a minimalistic approach, opting for sleek black heels and elegant fascinators. What we love most, though, is her high-low approach to fashion. Whether it’s a Club Monaco pleated dress or an Oscar de la Renta gown, her ensembles are totally attainable and often easy to replicate.

So, if you’re in need of some royal-approved style inspiration for your upcoming events, we’ve got you covered. Scroll on for four of the Duchess’ top wedding guest fashion moments, plus recommendations for getting the looks yourself.

Buy on Shopbop.com $435

For Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's nuptials in 2018, Markle kept things simple and chic with a Givenchy monochrome look, wearing the same designer she wore to her own wedding only five months prior. She matched her navy knee-length dress with a navy overcoat and a fascinator of the same color.

Aptly named the “Kensington Dress,” this navy piece from Black Halo radiates royalty. To elevate the look for a more formal wedding, add a statement necklace, a pair of strappy heels, and a simple navy clutch.

Meghan stunned in this airy, floral toile print dress at Celia McCorquodale's, Princess Diana's niece, wedding in 2016. The Oscar de la Renta look is said to be inspired by Wedgewood fine china and is truly an elegant statement. While it's advised for guests to stay away from white dresses with prints, this ensemble will work for a Chinoiserie-themed event, or if the bride has approved of the look.

We are dreaming about this Reformation midi for a daytime, Chinoiserie-themed garden event. Style with a pair of nude heels and simple gold jewelry for a Meghan-approved look.
