Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s fashion styles were often compared as Duchesses, but let’s see who was more provocative before becoming royal.

There is no denying the style influence of the leading fashion favorites, Kate and Meghan. Despite their undeniable fashion differences, there is one thing that both have in common: they always look stunningly beautiful!  Well, people don’t call them the Kate Effect and the Markle Sparkle for nothing!  

The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex represent the monarchy with their unique styles. Their styles are different, with Kate taking on a more sophisticated style while Meghan often looks more casual. Now, both women dress to look classy and polished, and they’re a total force in fashion, but let’s see their styles before becoming royal. Here you have all the #throwback looks you may have forgotten about.

Kate Middleton before becoming royal

Kate has been all over the media since she started dating Prince William, but her style back then? Well, look for yourselves if it was worth the attention. Kate Effect didn’t exist until they announced their engagement in 2011. Until then, Kate Middleton dressed however she wanted. 

That included a closet full of denim miniskirts, low-rise jeans, and sleeveless dresses.

Her years leading up to becoming royal, look a lot different from her style now.

She was partying hard during her breaks with the Prince and didn’t care how she looked!

The Duchess once was quite provocative as you can see. And she managed to catch the Prince’s eye here:

                     

Meghan Markle before dating Harry

Spoiler alert: The Duchess of Sussex wasn’t always into berets and trench coats. Yes, we now consider Meghan one of the most fashionable royals, but she wasn’t always casual and sophisticated. We must admit one thing – her style was always feminine, polished, and tailored. However, back in her famous Suits days, her style was a bit more provocative.

Meghan always loved a good bodycon dress, and she rocked those dresses!

And what about her skintight silk dresses? She looked stunningly yet provocative in them!

She wore many daring looks, and we can all agree that the neckline of the Duchess’s dresses never dip this low:

Her crop tops were flirty and cute, though we’re positive these outfits won’t make comebacks in Meghan’s wardrobe.

As you can see, the actress was more provocative, but they both had their share of the “wild” life before becoming royal!
