Meghan Markle是當代女性的標榜？38歲生日回顧其進階史

她是英國皇室史上最破格的王妃，三十八歲過得比誰都傳奇。

八十年來首位嫁入英國皇室的美國人，無論在穿著、婚禮甚至到生子的習俗上都打破了皇室不少規則——Meghan Markle 一直不負「英國皇室史上最破格的王妃」的稱號。

她近期更擔任英國版《Vogue》的九月刊客席編輯，一起向帶領時代變革的15位女性致敬。雜誌封面被分為16格，梅根留下一格空位，用一面鏡子來代替，旨在鼓勵讀者在自己的平台上推動變革。這個空格即是缺席的梅根，又是代表每一位敢於改變時局的女性，這樣的留白的確讓人看到她的心思。

主編Edward Enningful透露「正如你將看到她的選擇貫穿整本雜誌，她還願意涉足更複雜和細微的領域，不論是涉及女性賦權，心理健康，種族還是特權的話題。」

除此之外，薩塞克斯公爵夫人也一直善用她的影響力，尤其是時尚方面，不吝將梅根效應帶至公益層面。日前梅根宣布將聯同Marks＆Spencer，John Lewis＆Partners，Jigsaw及isha Nonoo設計服裝系列。該系列的所有利潤將直接轉入S為失業婦女提供支援的Smart Works協會。

然而回首她過去的一年，過得比誰都傳奇。在梅根37歲時，她為皇室添多一名成員——阿奇。Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor更是皇室首位有非洲裔黑人血統的成員，也主動放棄了王子的爵位。

在生日這天，不同的皇室官方社交媒體都為梅根送上生日祝福，其中最甜蜜的不外乎哈利王子將梅根形容為是“Amazing Wife”並感謝她與他共同踏上這個旅程。

而作為前美國女演員，Meghan Markle由紅毯女星進化成潮流指標的王妃之路亦波折不已。在2010年初，她喜歡時尚的物品集中在顯露身體線條和顏色阻擋的款式。隨著她在《Suits》上獲得律師Rachel Zane的名聲，Markle的風格變得更加精緻：她開始喜歡在台階上重複清潔線條的連衣裙，選擇使用顏色，紋理和印花，同時保持剪裁精心定制。

但當她遇到哈里王子並且在2018年5月結婚時，一切都改變了。嫁入英國皇室後，梅根以無與倫比的優勢提升了她的時尚感：如今，她對剪綵分明外衣有著濃厚的興趣，經常穿著經典的風衣和大衣。在此過程中，她也會適當選擇為她正在訪問的城市或國的設計師，如同精明的外交訣竅。出席夜晚活動時，她開始嘗試無可挑剔的雅緻禮服和雞尾酒禮服，就像她最近在倫敦《獅子王》首映時選擇的優雅Jason Wu黑色小禮服簡單的同時也像是向自己的紅毯時期有個調調的回顧，獲得好評不斷。

在她三十八歲生日之際，我們回顧Meghan Markle風格進化史。
