Meghan hailed princess of style
THE dresses she wears sell out as quickly as she slips into them and her style has been compared to that of the late Lady Diana, who was known as the “princess of style”.
Even though Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, only recently joined the royal family, she’s already stripped her sister-in-law Kate, Duchess of Cambridge of her “most stylish royal” title.
Where Kate once held fifth place, Meghan now holds the third place position on this year’s report by shopping site Lyst.
Kate has slipped all the way down to 16th position on the list that’s compiled through monitored online searches, media coverage and sales of particular outfits worn by celebrities.
The website said that every time Meghan, 37, wears a designer item, the brand will see a 200% search increase the week after.
This phenomenon has been dubbed “The Meghan Effect”.
Her wedding day outfits caused huge spikes for both Givenchy and Stella McCartney, while her daytime looks have also inspired millions of shoppers to try a “boat neck” or “tuxedo dress”.
Meghan wore a chic black tuxedo dress to a performance of hit musical
Hamilton in August.
Boat neck dresses and tops are also staples.
The olive-green piece she wore to the christening of Prince Louis has proved especially popular in the months since.
During a 16-day tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga, Meghan wore one jaw-dropping designer outfit after the other.
She wore a number of dresses that sold out online within less than 24 hours of her appearing in them.
The silk Figue Frederica floralprint ruffle frock with colourful pom poms she wore in Fiji’s capital of Suva is no longer available to buy.
Kylie Jenner, the youngest on the list, is in the number one spot.
