The Duchess of Sussex has become one of the biggest style icons in the world, often causing her outfits to sell out shortly after appearing in them. From the short styles she favoured before joining the royal family to her beautiful wedding dress, Meghan can make any outfit look incredible. While it's not an easy task to whittle down her best looks over the past decade, we've picked out a few that are too good to forget. Keep scrolling to see our shortlist...

While she's still a fan of these neutral shades, Meghan wouldn't be seen in this cami top and mini skirt she wore in 2012. We love seeing her more daring fashion choices before she joined the royal family!

Fuschia, strapless and midi length - what's not to love about this outfit? In 2013, Meghan looked every inch the TV star in LA wearing this dress, which she teamed with a gold clutch and black heels.

Not many people can pull off white wide-leg trousers like Meghan. To attend an exclusive preview of the Marchesa Voyage for ShopStyle collection in 2014, the Duchess paired the trousers with a blue and white shirt and carried a white oversized clutch. Stunning!

Meghan wowed the crowd in her black and white geometric print pencil dress back in 2014. Not to detract from the statement frock, she opted for nude heels that are worthy of a Duchess' wardrobe.

She looked gorgeous in this show-stopping silver mini dress back in 2015 for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York City. She paired the plunging dress - designed by her good friend Misha Nonoo - with black heels and a metallic clutch. We wouldn't see the Duchess in anything so daring these days...

Why opt for a trouser suit when you look this good in a short suit? We're loving the metallic heels and splash of pink colour she injected into this outfit she wore at the Today Show in 2016.

We rarely see royals with red pouts, which makes this outfit all-the-more incredible! Matching her red lip to her Dolce & Gabbana mini dress, the former actress opted for a sexy look to attend ELLE's Annual Women In Television Dinner in 2016.

Meghan looked beautiful in blue at an Instagram dinner in Toronto in 2016. And how pretty are her printed heels? The dress, with its plunging neckline and tie waist, looks like the perfect wedding guest outfit for the summer.

Back in 2016, Meghan was not afraid to rock a short suit - and with a figure like hers, we can see why! The plain white shirt, pinstriped suit and heels make for the chicest work attire.

How could we forget the brunette beauty's gorgeous wedding dress? Designed by Clare Waight Keller, Givenchy's creative director, Meghan was the epitome of elegance in the simple boat-neck dress she wore on her wedding day to Prince Harry in May 2018.

We're still not over Meghan's outfits from her and Prince Harry's royal tour in October 2018. For a reception at the British High Commissioner's Residence in Fiji, the mother-of-one looked radiant in a red wrap dress by Figue featuring a ruffled hem and purple and pink flower print.

One staple item in the royal's wardrobe is a cream coat. During a trip to Northern Ireland with Prince Harry in 2018, the former Suits star stunned royal fans in a Mackage coat, a green pencil skirt and the cream Victoria Beckham cashmere jumper she wore for her engagement photos. Adding the perfect accessories, she rocked brown velvet Jimmy Choo pumps and a matching Charlotte Elizabeth bag.

We couldn't leave out Meghan's stunning one-shoulder Givenchy gown from the British Fashion Awards in 2018! The Duchess made a surprise appearance to present the prestigious British Women's Wear Designer of The Year Award to her wedding dress creator Clare Waight Keller - what a moment.

Another stunning look from the Duchess' visit to Ireland in 2018 was this gorgeous black cocktail dress, which she teamed with Aquzzura heels and a satin clutch bag. We love that deep side parting in her hair, too.
