Meghan Markle Completely Changed Her Duchess Style With This Bold Look

Meghan Markle's style has been quite consistent since becoming a duchess: She's chosen muted dresses in pale pink, beige and white, often with collarbone-revealing boatneck silhouettes. For a reception at the Commonwealth Secretariats Youth Leadership Workshop yesterday, however, Markle completely threw us for a loop with her vivid yellow dress. Markle's beautiful Brandon Maxwell dress (£831) marked a major departure in her royal style thus far, not only in the colour but also in the shape. She has generally avoided curve-hugging silhouettes until today, but of course she pulled it off with aplomb. Scroll down to see her new look and shop the on-sale dress.
