Meghan Markle has royally stepped up her fashion game.
Since tying the knot with Prince Harry in 2018, the Duchess of Sussex shared that the intense focus on her style has “changed everything” about how she “thinks about putting an outfit together.”
“Times where I know there is a global spotlight, and attention will be given to each detail of what I may or may not be wearing,” Meghan explained in an interview with the New York Times published Aug. 28, “then I support designers that I have really great friendships with, and smaller, up-and-coming brands that haven’t gotten the attention that they should be getting.”
And while that may seem like a minor shift, the 43-year-old believes it can have a major impact. As she put it, “That’s one of the most powerful things that I’m able to do, and that’s simply wearing, like, an earring.”
Meghan—who shares kids Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, with Harry—doesn’t take that influence lightly, either. In fact, she dedicates time to researching new labels that she feels passionate about.
