TORONTO â Itâs hard to deny her style.
The Duchess of Sussex has been named the most influential dresser of 2019, according to fashion search engine Lyst.
Based on its online search results, the found former âSuitsâ actress turned royal Meghan Markle is the platformâs number one âpower dressers.â

Lyst found that, on average, Meghanâs choices led to a 216 per cent increase in searches for those dresses or similar outfits.
Some of Markleâs most iconic dresses include her white Givenchy gown during her wedding, her J. Crew denim shirt dress she wore at the 2019 U.S. Open and the navy Givenchy dress she donned for Queen Elizabethâs 93rd birthday celebrations.

Itâs also not uncommon to see the Duchess of Sussex instead of the brighter, flashier outfits worn by either her sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge, or the Queen.
THE NOTICABLE 'MEGHAN SPARKLE'
Meghanâs impact on fashion brands is not a shocker, considering that the term âMeghan Sparkleâ was coined for her power to improve sales simply by wearing a brandâs dress.
For example, during her trip with her husband Prince Harry, the style of shirt dresses that the Duchess wore spiked by 45 per cent month-over-month.
In fact, the report stated her âClub Monaco dress sold out in less than 24 hours, following a 570 per cent spike in searches and wearing a J Crew skirt saw a 102 per cent increase in searches for the brand."
