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.
1.The Engagement Photocall Look
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.
Rachel Roy trench, $85
Milumia dress, $23
Allegra K sandals, $31
Meghan mock engagement ring, $25
2.The Wedding Reception Dress
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.
Badgley Mischka gown, $270
Badgley Mischka sparkly heels, $65
3.2018 Trooping the Colour Outfit
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.
French Connection dress, $89
Free Yoka fascinator, $14
4.The Tuxedo Outfit
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.
Superdown white dress, $72
Sam Edelman navy pumps, $120
5.The Gown From Their First Royal Tour
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's first royal tour together brought them to a host of countries, including Australia. For the Australian Geographic Society Awards, the Duchess wore this beautiful bird motif dress from Oscar de la Renta. It was one of the more standout looks from the tour.
Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon gown, $795
Boohoo black pumps, $18
6.The Dress From Meghan's First Official Engagement
June 14, 2018 marked the day Meghan first held engagements without Prince Harry by her side. Instead, she accompanied the Queen on all her travels. Here they're pictured at a ceremony to open the new Mersey Gateway Bridge in Widnes, England. This was also the Duchess' first engagement with the Queen, which Meghan pulled off without a hitch.
Etsy white cape dress, $157
206 collective black pumps, $22
Caserbay black belt, $11
7.The 2018 Christmas Church Outfit
The royals put their (reported) drama aside to appear as a united group during their annual Christmas service at Church of St. Mary Magdalene. While Kate wore a cheery holiday red, Meghan went for a polished navy outfit. If you recreate this look, have your BFF wear Kate's.
COS navy coat, $285
Boden navy dress, $90
Sam Edelman navy boots, $150
Free Yoka navy fascinator, $14
8.The Dress From Her First Appearance With Archie
Rather than appear outside of the hospital after giving birth, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry chose to wait a few days to do an official photocall. 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.
ASOS trench dress, $64
Taryn Rose beige pumps, $46
Fake baby toy, $22
9.Meghan's First Polo Match With Archie
Meghan and Archie were there to cheer Prince Harry on at The King Power Royal Charity Polo Day in July 2019. The Duchess of Sussex wore a loose fitted olive-colored dress from Lisa Marie Fernandez and held her baby close.
H&M shirtdress, $35
H&M brown sandals, $25
Fake baby toy, $22
