Meghan Markle debuted a whole new royal wardrobe when she became the Duchess of Sussex.
Some of her designer dresses and high-end accessories come with large price tags.
Her $265,000 wedding dress by Givenchy, $157,000 Stella McCartney reception dress, and $12,000 Oscar de la Renta ball gown are among the most expensive.

Meghan Markle's royal wardrobe was probably one of the most enviable in the world. Her already iconic looks landed her the title of People's Best Dress Star in 2018. While a few of her looks have been custom-made designs with no official price tags attached, she's worn a few outfits with retail prices ranging from surprisingly affordable to extra extravagant.

Though much has been made of the price of Markle's wardrobe, it's not quite as shocking when you consider her successful acting career and the wardrobe fund she reportedly had access to as a member of the royal family. Much like Kate Middleton before her, Markle debuted quite a few extravagantly priced outfits as she built her royal wardrobe.

Since her exit as a senior member of the royal family, Markle has continued to wear high-end designer brands but with a more casual approach.

Here are 40 of her most expensive outfits so far.

The most expensive outfit in Markle's wardrobe so far is of course her stunning Givenchy wedding dress.
