Meghan Markle Sexy Outfits

All the Times Meghan Markle Wasn't Afraid to Show a Little Extra Skin

There's been so much talk about Meghan Markle breaking royal protocol and disregarding certain fashion rules, we just want to scream, "Aren't you tired of harping on her every move?!" — at least when it comes to fashion, anyway. Hello, it's 2019! Meghan should be able to make tasteful — even trendy — style statements while still being regarded as a serious public figure. She seems to take this into consideration.

After all, Meghan has worked countless off-the-shoulder designs and even riskier, asymmetrical hemlines with confidence. Ahead, we rounded up all the times she successfully accomplished sophistication with a hidden touch of sexiness, whether it was by showing of her legs in a mini, her toned arms in a halter, or her baby bump proudly in something formfitting.

Sequins and a Slit

Meghan stepped out in this midnight navy Roland Mouret dress for Cirque du Soleil's Totem at the Royal Albert Hall in London in January 2019. The skirt featured a wrap-effect that unveiled a slit at the front, all the better for Meghan to show off her Stuart Weitzman shoes. She accessorised with a Givenchy clutch.

Formfitting Florals

Meghan's gorgeous Brock Collection dress showed off her baby bump in December 2018, when she paid a visit to the Royal Variety Charity's residential care home, Brinsworth House. Meghan stood tall in her Aquazzura slingback heels, not shying away from the spotlight for one second.

An Exciting, Asymmetrical Hemline

Meghan wore this ultraflattering Antonio Berardi dress to attend a reception at the Auckland War Memorial Museum with the Prime Minister of New Zealand in November 2018. She actually debuted this design earlier, in May 2017, when she supported Harry at the Audi Polo Challenge. This time, she paired the striking number with Aquazzura heels, a leather clutch, and delicate teardrop earrings.

An Illusion Evening Dress

Meghan's Oscar de la Renta dress was made of tulle when she gave a speech at the Australian Geographic Society Awards in Sydney in October 2018. The bold look featured an illusion neckline — it was as if the birds on her dress were painted onto her skin!

A Backless Trench

When Meghan took the stage at the Invictus Games in Sydney in October 2018, she wore this olive Antonio Berardi dress that came with a surprise. The neckline might have been modest, but Meghan's open back showed off her toned arms, and she walked tall in Aquazzura ankle-strap pumps.

A Breezy, Sheer Holiday Dress

You've probably got a beach caftan similar to the Reformation dress Meghan debuted on a trip to Fraser Island in Queensland, Australia in October 2018. The lightweight, linen fabric blew up in the wind, showing off Meghan's legs and a better look at her Sarah Flint open sandals.

A Drop-Waist Tank Dress

Meghan's Martin Grant tank dress looked lovely on Bondi Beach in Australia in October 2018. She even picked up the hem of her Summer-friendly number to reveal bold Castañer wedges that lent her more height.

An LBD That's All About the Leg

Meghan impressed us in this black Judith and Charles blazer mini when she arrived at a performance of Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London in August 2018. The impeccably tailored design stopped above the knee, and Meghan wore a gold box clutch and tall Paul Andrew heels, attracting even more attention to her legs.

An Off-the-Shoulder Moment

Meghan's Carolina Herrera Trooping the Colour dress was actually an homage to Princess Diana, who wore a very similar design at the Berlin Opera House in 1987. The risk paid off, and this shoulder-baring look quickly became one to remember after its June 2018 debut. Meghan accessorised it with a Philip Treacy hat and Birks jewels.

The Halter Reception Dress

While Meghan's Givenchy wedding gown was modest, her reception dress, a formfitting Stella McCartney halter with a little room in the skirt for lifting, was flirty and fun. Meghan seemed totally relaxed and carefree for her May 2018 nuptials, showing off her shoulders for the party in this stunning number, accessorised with Aquazzura heels, Cartier earrings, and Princess Diana's aquamarine gemstone ring.

The Sheer Engagement Dress

Meghan's Ralph & Russo engagement dress sent out a message to the world when these portraits were released in December 2017: I'm proud of my unique sense of style. The embroidered top and tiered skirt were more glamorous than modest and streamlined, and she looked stunning.
