7 times Meghan Markle impressed us with her power looks

Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s split from the British Royal Family, there has been a lot of talk.

More recently, the power couple revealed brow-raising details about their experiences in Buckingham Palace during a headlining interview with Oprah Winfrey. That sparked another wave of strong sentiments online, ranging from empathy to disbelief.

But what truly impressed us was the Duchess of Sussex’s fearless spirit. She’s definitely not one to hold back when things aren’t right, especially when it comes to mental health and prejudice. And that is something we can all learn from, in light of this year’s International Women’s Day theme #ChooseToChallenge. 

Meghan, the lionhearted woman we all know, also radiates confidence through her wardrobe. She’s often spotted in get-ups that exude woman-in-charge vibes (think tailored pantsuits). At the same time, she nails tricky fashion trends (cue bold hues and tonal dressing) with ease and aplomb. It’s no wonder then, that she’s also a style inspiration for modern women.

So, if you’re looking to update your wardrobe with power pieces, get inspo from Meghan’s most memorable outfits below.
