Meghan Markle Stuns as 2018’s “Best‑Dressed” Queen of Style
People magazine just dropped a jaw‑dropping surprise: Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, crowned the best‑dressed woman of the entire year. That’s a win none of the royal families had seen before, and it left the boyfriends and Senate alike scrambling for their own wardrobe.
Why Meghan Took the Crown
- She’s a modern woman with a knack for mixing high‑end couture with street‑wear staples.
- She was a force of nature at every public appearance, from the glittering balls of the British monarchy to the glitzy premiere of Supertask.
- Her style is effortlessly chic—she can rock a button‑down and ripped jeans one moment and a tiara‑adorned gown the next without breaking a sweat.
- Her bold fashion choices served as a breath‑of‑fresh‑air twist on royal tradition—bare legs, off‑the‑shoulder outfits and a messy bun that screamed “I’m here to steal the spotlight, not a museum.”
The Field of Contenders
