The perfect time to dress up like Meghan Markle holding a fake baby Archie—and not be branded a stalker—is Halloween. The day is dedicated to dressing up like your favorite alter ego, after all. For anyone wanting to channel the Duchess of Sussex, we've rounded up some of Meghan's most iconic looks to recreate. The duchess wears a lot of contemporary outfits, which is great—you can look in your own wardrobe for similar pieces—but to stick out and really become Meghan, you'll need the right energy. Study the photos of Meghan below (her poses, smiles, etc.), then shop the pieces needed to get her look. A tiara to top off all the outfits won't hurt, either.

To announce their engagement, the couple appeared together for a photocall at The Sunken Gardens of Kensington Palace. Meghan stuck to a classic look, choosing a trench coat to wear over a knee-length dress and lace-up heels. This outfit marked the beginning of her journey to becoming a royal.

Meghan looked gorgeous on her wedding day in this white Stella McCartney halter-neck dress. The dress was so iconic, the brand now offers it for other brides, or fancy shoppers, to buy and wear. If you don't want to drop $5,200 for the sake of a Halloween costume though, we found an alternative dress below.

For Meghan's first Trooping the Colour ceremony in 2018, she wore a pink off-the-shoulder Carolina Herrera dress. Though the look was slightly more daring than Kate's buttoned-up outfit, it was made more appropriate by the asymmetrical neckline and matching pink fascinator.

If there's one style the Duchess of Sussex continually wears, it's the tuxedo dress. She has it in both black and white, and wore the white to an event in Wellington, New Zealand during the royal tour.

The new parents brought out their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor at St. George's Hall, Windsor Castle on May 8, 2019. Meghan matched Archie's blanket in a classic white trench dress.
