Meghan Markle’s sleek New York outfit isn’t the first time she’s showed off her shoulders – and her necklines are dropping by the year
The Duchess of Sussex oozed glamour in a white, clean-cut two piece as she attended a mental health summit in New York last night.
Meghan, 42, sported a $987 white off-the-shoulder Altuzarra blazer with matching white wide-leg trousers and heels, while her husband, 39, donned a dapper navy suit.
As the Duchess discussed the serious issue of the perils of social media and how it influences children, she looked state-like in the tailored outfit which showed off her angular shoulders.
In public appearances since she met Prince Harry (including her wedding day which was watched by millions around the world), Meghan has opted for off-shoulder and boat-neck styles in both dresses and tops.
In particular, she set tongues wagging during her first ever Trooping the Colour when her bespoke Carolina Herrera dress with a bardot neckline showed off both her shoulders and her arms, in a break from tradition in royal fashion – but fans went wild for the look nonetheless.

And since Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals and moved back to California, the Duchess appears to have leant into her signature style a little more – sporting off-shoulder looks with much lower necklines.
As her style has evolved over the years, she has traded bardot and boat necklines for more casual, yet still chic, tube dresses, in an apparent break from conservative dressing one would associate with working members of the royal family.
