Meghan Markle‘s 2025 milestones included her As Ever brand’s debut, the premiere of her Netflix lifestyle series “With Love, Meghan” and a showcase of several high-profile, designer pieces from her post-royal Montecito, Calif., wardrobe.
2025 was the year where the Duchess of Sussex wholly embraced her quiet luxury style, wearing pieces by Balenciaga, Ralph Lauren and a series of other labels and fashion houses throughout the year. WWD breaks down a few of the highlights from Markle’s year in style ahead.

The springtime saw the Duchess of Sussex return to her signature quiet luxury threads. For her April appearance at the Time 100 Summit in New York City, Markle paired Ralph Lauren’s Russell Silk-Linen Twill Jacket with the American brand’s extra-wide-leg trousers.
The Duchess of Sussex’s white blouse and belt were also by Ralph Lauren. Finishing touches on the look included her Cognac shade of pointed toe Manolo Blahnik heels, gold earrings by Tabayer and Princess Diana’s gold Cartier tank watch.

By October, Markle was one of the most talked-about attendees at Balenciaga’s womenswear spring 2026 runway show during Paris Fashion Week. The Duchess of Sussex stayed true to her minimalist style, wearing an all-white look that consisted of wide-leg trousers, a flowing button-down and a large white cape that draped over her shoulders.
Later in the evening, Markle changed into a sleeveless black dress with the same cape-like motif. Both looks were custom Balenciaga pieces.

In November, Markle stepped out alongside Prince Harry to support the Duchess of Sussex’s longtime friend Serena Williams at the Baby2Baby Gala in West Hollywood. The As Ever founder opted for monochrome coords, wearing a sleek black look for the evening’s festivities.
Markle styled a long-sleeve Wolford turtleneck along with a Brandon Maxwell skirt with a slit for subtle definition. She paired the look with strappy Aquazzura heels and accessorized her look with a pair of gold chain statement earrings.
