Meghan Markle's Pleated Periwinkle Dress Is a Complete 180 From Her Royal Style

While Meghan Markle's new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, is technically being billed as a cooking show, the Duchess of Sussex is serving up more than just food. In the just-released trailer for the eight-episode series, Markle stuns in a slew of stylish looks that are a complete 180 from the prim shift dresses and caped gowns that she wore during her time as a royal. 

Entering her Rich Montecito Mom era, Markle highlighted her new laid-back style in relaxed button-down shirts and neutral separates, but perhaps her best outfit of all is a pleated periwinkle blue dress she sports in the promotional poster for the show.

While arranging a bouquet of pink peonies in front of a table decorated with more flowers and jars of what we presume to be her American Riviera Orchard jam, Meghan is wearing the aforementioned crinkled silk maxi dress from Ulla Johnson ($950). 

The sleeveless style featured a floor-sweeping skirt, a form-fitting bodice, and an open back. Meghan accessorized the dress with Princess Diana's gold Cartier Tank Française watch along with a stack of gold and diamond bracelets. Meanwhile, her dark brunette hair was worn down in loose waves with a middle part.

Earlier this week, Meghan teased her latest project under her new Instagram handle: @meghan. "I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it," she wrote. "Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team @netflix. Beyond grateful for the support—and fun!"

With Love, Meghan premieres on Netflix on January 15.
