A look back at Meghan Markle's most stylish maternity looks

It's been confirmed that the Duchess of Sussex went into labour in the early hours of Monday morning bringing an end to a stylish 9 months of maternity looks.

The 37-year-old's pregnancy wardrobe has been varied and unexpected. While her pre-maternity wardrobe focussed on designs by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, the designer behind her wedding dress, Meghan's maternity style has seen her include more of a variety of high end labels, from Victoria Beckham to Erdem, Carolina Herrera and Dior to Valentino.

She has also continued to shine a spotlight on a plethora of independent designers, mostly whilst abroad in order to pay homage to the countries the royal has visited. The couple has completed tours to Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji and Morocco during the pregnancy.

Getting into the swing of royal life, the majority of Meghan's sartorial hits have been noteworthy ballgowns. She attended her first state dinner in a blue caped gown by London-based brand Safiyaa, opted for an ethereal tulle number by Oscar de la Renta for the Australian National Geographic Gala, and it was a stand-out glitzy sequin Roland Mouret number for a visit to the Cirque du Soleil premiere. But the best black tie look of all has to be the dreamy custom Dior gown she wore during her and Prince Harry's tour to Morocco.

Taking a more casual approach than her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, throughout her pregnancy Meghan has often favoured black skinny jeans and a blazer as her go-to get-up. And, in the later stages of pregnancy, she also favoured affordable dresses with shorter hemlines, including a £24.99 fine-knit dress by H&M and a retro-inspired £185 shift dress from Reiss.
