New royal wedding, new look! Meghan returned to St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle — where she and Harry married in May — to celebrate the nuptials of Harry's first cousin Princess Eugenie to Jack Brooksbank. This time around, she stuck with the same designer (Givenchy) but opted for a navy dress and coat, as well as a matching hat by Noel Stewart.

On her 37th birthday, Meghan arrived at the nuptials of Prince Harry’s close friend, Charlie van Straubenzee, in a color-block, pleated shirtdress from Club Monaco (now sold out; this one is similar) that featured an olive, pink and white skirt. She accessorized with a Philip Treacy hat, her trusty Aquazzura pumps with bows on the strap, a knotted belt and a clutch by Kayu. And though her $324 shirtdress was budget-friendly, her Linda Farrow sunglasses – made with real gold and clocking in at $1,105 – were fit for a royal.

Meghan's blush crush continues! For her Trooping the Colour debut, the duchess showed off a new bouncy blowout and opted for a custom-made pale pink Carolina Herrera dress, featuring a daring off-the-shoulder neckline that was a bit of an unofficial break in royal wardrobe protocol. To top off the look, she wore a Philip Treacy hat in a matching shade, which looked quite similar to the one she wore at her first post-wedding royal debut at the Buckingham Palace Garden party.

Just days after marrying Prince Harry, the newlywed (and newly royal) made her first public appearance at Prince Charles' 70th Birthday Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. Meghan looked elegant in a "rose-pink" "Flavia" pencil dress by London-based womenswear label Goat Fashion, which featured a tailored bodice, pencil skirt and a silk-chiffon yoke and sleeves. She gave the look extra polish with a dusty rose asymetrical hat by Philip Treacy, $2945 rose gold and diamond earrings by Paris-based jeweler Vanessa Tugendhaft (which then sold out in just 10 minutes!), a sleek chignon and pantyhose — a royal staple.

Prince Harry Marries Ms. Meghan Markle - Windsor Castle
Credit: Steve Parsons - WPA Pool/Getty

For her evening wedding reception at Frogmore House, Meghan changed into a second and slightly more sexy — but equally minimal — wedding dress. Designed by Stella McCartney, the dress was "a bespoke lily white high neck gown made of silk crepe," according to a statement from the palace. It featured a high halter neck, an open back and a train that Meghan carried herself. She accessorized with diamond drop earrings and satin heels from Aquazurra with baby blue soles - plus an aquamarine ring that belonged to Princess Diana.

Prince Harry Marries Ms. Meghan Markle - Windsor Castle

It's a real-life fairy tale! For her highly-anticipated wedding gown, the bride turned to British designer Clare Waight Keller of French label Givenchy. The stunning silk gown featured an open bateau neckline and sculpted waist. The train flowed in soft round folds cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza. Meghan also wore a tiara straight from the Queen's jewelry vault, the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau, which helped secure her cathedral-length veil, featuring a trim of hand-embroidered flowers from each of the 53 counties in the Commonwealth in threads and organza. The new royal opted for elegant and simple jewelry from Cartier to complement her gown's silhouette, wearing delicate diamond stud earrings along with one simple diamond bracelet.
