Meghan already has an army of admirers eager to follow her style. And that’s precisely why open shoulders have become one of the biggest trends of this year. Meghan highlighted these parts of her body in all important public appearances, bringing boat necklines back in style.

Coco Chanel may have been the inventor of this feature, but it was Hubert de Givenchy who made it so famous. Here is how the story goes: Audrey Hepburn complained to the fashion designer that she didn’t like her clavicles. They seemed too big and angular to her. That’s why usual necklines would only make it worse.

Hubert came up with a simple, but perfect solution — a smooth line from shoulder to shoulder. Miss Hepburn was enchanted by this idea, choosing boat neck dresses one after one.

Meghan Markle, perhaps not intentionally, has followed this Audrey’s trend, picking garments with open shoulders. Let us remind you that the first time she wore this style was before the wedding. It was in January 2018, on the Wales trip with Prince Harry.

But the most decisive boat neck outfit was her wedding dress! Women all over the world could literally observe Meghan bringing a boat neckline to the next level. By the way, her dress was by Givenchy.

When Duchess of Sussex joined Her Majesty and Prince Harry on the 26th of June, she once again showcased a perfect boat neckline. Most graceful!

Nobody before Meghan revealed this much shoulder so often. And it’s not only the boat necks. She fancies off-the-shoulder dresses as well. It appears that Meghan’s shoulders have in fact become the center of attention.

Do you have a boat neck in your wardrobe? Tell the truth, did you buy it before or after the royal wedding?
