Along with being a bonafide "legal superhero," Meghan Markle's on-screen counterpart Rachel Zane perfected the art of power dressing throughout the past seven seasons of Suits, whether she was burning the midnight oil at the office or lounging at home with her beau Mike Ross.
The whip-smart paralegal's confidence shined beyond her stylish outfits, but there is no denying that Rachel Zane brought back beautifully-tailored separates to offices everywhere. It was clear from the start of season one that the aspiring lawyer has a penchant for fashion—namely the oft-forgotten pencil skirt and a pressed button up—but season after season, she continued to wow us with sophisticated ensembles and one very important white dress.
Season seven's final episode marks the end of Meghan Markle's run on Suits and what better way to make her exit than with a wedding dress? It may not be the one she's walking down the aisle to marry Prince Harry in, but after seven seasons and a plethora of notable fashion moments, Rachel Zane walked down the aisle in a stunning Anne Barge wedding dress. (See the fabulous frock here!)
Below, a look back at Rachel Zane's best fashion moments from her seven seasons on Suits. Guess we'll just have Markle's IRL style to fawn over now!
