Meghan Markle Just Broke Another Royal Style Rule, and We Love Her For It

22/10/2018 - 05:10 PM

Meghan Markle [1] continues to shake things up when it comes to style on her first royal tour with Prince Harry. On a trip to Fraser Island in Queensland, Australia, she kept cool in a linen dress by the laid-back, eco-friendly fashion brand Reformation. Meghan's Pineapple dress [2] (which is, of course, sold out) features spaghetti straps, a muted striped print, and a deep split that Meghan really showed off when she crouched down to greet a woman in the crowd.

The light and breezy number is a far cry from the styles her sister-in-law has chosen for her royal tours in the past: even in the intense heat of the Australian outback, Kate kept her shoulders covered [3] in a trademark midi dress. Meghan has always been a little more relaxed with her royal wardrobe, and she's never afraid to break the rules or go against supposed royal protocol. Spaghetti straps are traditionally a no go for royals (they're even banned in the royal enclosure at Ascot [4]), but in the relaxed setting of the Australian holiday island, Meghan's casual and cool choice was just perfect. Take a closer look for yourself ahead.
