- Meghan Markle has made headline after headline this year since her relationship with Prince Harry went public.
- All eyes have been on Markle's style, which has evolved quite a bit since she first entered Hollywood.
- Meghan Markle is the newest royal style icon, and these gorgeous 2017 looks are just a preview of what we can expect from the actress next year.
Although Meghan Markle is now a household name, it is possible that up until this year you had no idea who the "Suits" star was.
The 36-year-old actress was catapulted into the spotlight in 2017 due to her high profile romance with Prince Harry. The pair announced their engagement last month.
Throughout the year many have kept a close eye not only on Meghan's whereabouts but also on her wardrobe.
Here are our highlights from Meghan's 2017 wardrobe:
Most recently, Meghan joined the royal family on Christmas Day sporting a camel colored wrap coat by small Toronto brand Sentaler, which was expertly coordinated with a brown Chloe bag, Stuart Weitzman boots, and Philip Treacy hat.
The outfit was very similar to the bridal-inspired coat Meghan wore to announce her engagement to Prince Harry, which was also by a small Canadian brand Line The Label.
The future royal definitely did not disappoint during her first official engagement in Nottingham.
The adorable pair were seen sporting matching coats as they stepped out for the first time since announcing their engagement.
The brunette beauty also recently showed off her glamorous side as she stunned in a sheer Ralph & Russo dress worth £56,000 for official portraits with her husband-to-be.
She was also seen in a more casual Victoria Beckham ensemble as part of their stunning engagement photos.
The princess-perfect look is a big contrast to Meghan's normal casual attire which was seen throughout 2017.
Back in September Meghan made her first official appearance with Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in Toronto, cutting a relaxed figure in a pair of ripped jeans by Mother Denim and an oversized white 'Husband Shirt' by Misha Nonoo.
No matter what style the actress chooses to wear, one thing is for sure - everyone wants to recreate it. 'The Meghan Effect' is already in full swing causing items to sell out, website crashes and earning one small British brand £20,000 overnight.
With Meghan and Harry's wedding date set for May 19, 2018, we are sure that this is just the beginning of Meghan's trajectory as a style icon - and we can't wait to see what next year has in store.
