Meghan Markle Completely Changed Her Duchess Style With This Bold Look

Meghan Markle's style has been quite consistent since becoming a duchess: She's chosen muted dresses in pale pink, beige and white, often with collarbone-revealing boatneck silhouettes. For a reception at the Commonwealth Secretariats Youth Leadership Workshop yesterday, however, Markle completely threw us for a loop with her vivid yellow dress. Markle's beautiful Brandon Maxwell dress (£831) marked a major departure in her royal style thus far, not only in the colour but also in the shape. She has generally avoided curve-hugging silhouettes until today, but of course she pulled it off with aplomb. Scroll down to see her new look and shop the on-sale dress.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
