Meghan Markle Shows a New Side of Her Style in Her Latest Cover

Meghan Markle [1] is showing a different side of her style. The Duchess of Sussex graced the cover of Variety [2] on Oct. 19, in which she reflects on her relationship with Queen Elizabeth [Array] and her time in Hollywood. As Markle shares more of her personal life and perspectives since stepping away from her royal duties [3], it seems she's doing the same with her fashion. Photographed by Ramona Rosales [4] at San Ysidro Ranch [5], the ethereal cover shoot shows Markle in a series of vibrant colours and prints — a departure from her typical neutral palette [6].

The "Archetypes" [7] host, who has quite the particular sense of style consisting of structured silhouettes [8] and monochrome hues [9], worked with stylist Rebecca Grice [10] and tailor M'Lynn Hass [11] to dream up five stunning ensembles — some reflective of her everyday looks [12] and others that signaled a new style direction.

First, Markle stuck to her usual for the Variety cover itself, in which she wore a sleeveless black blouse from Giorgio Armani and a gold Jennifer Fisher choker. However, she wore a striking Jason Wu gown in an abstract print dyed in pink and white for a few playful shots of her turning back and lying on the ground barefoot. She dressed in another colourful look, a sweeping halter-neck evening gown from Galvan London in a rich emerald hue, which was paired with Mondo Mondo jelly earrings and Cartier bangles.

She also posed in a dramatic Carolina Herrera midi dress with a cascading neckline, teaming the royal-blue number with crisscross silver heels from Amina Muaddi. Lastly, a beige belted jumpsuit from Max Mara that we've previously seen Markle wearing versions of [13] completed the dreamlike photo shoot.
