'Chic' Meghan Markle named more stylish than Kate Middleton in controversial new survey

Meghan Markle has been named among the celebrities with the most popular style, beating her sister-in-law Kate Middleton.

The Duchess of Sussex is known for her simple yet chic outfits and has been praised by fans for her "timeless and fashion-forward" looks.

The 41-year-old is often seen sporting a crew neck sweater and wide leg trousers and seems to be a fan of laid-back outfits.

However, Meghan still loves her more elegant looks and was recently spotted wearing a white off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton gown as she enjoyed a date night with Prince Harry.

The actress has now been revealed as one of the women with the most influential style in America.

A new study conducted by fashion retailer Boohoo has crowned Meghan in fourth place on their most searched for style list and revealed her fashion is the most Googled in 7 states, including Colorado, Indiana, Wisconsin and Massachusetts.

Searches across the US as a whole for Meghan's fashion stand at an average of 49,700.

Kate Middleton came just behind Meghan in fifth place. The Princess of Wales has an average of 44,900 searches made each month for her outfits and style.

Taking the top spot as the most influential was Billie Eilish, with the singer causing 60,170 average searches each month for various items relating to her style.

Taylor Swift, who has recently embarked on her Eras tour, was named as the woman with the second most influential style.

Ariana Grande came in just above the Duchess of Sussex, with her fashion sparking an average of 51,200 search terms each month in states such as Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho and Alabama.

Before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan was best-known for her role on Suits and would often incorporate a laid-back essence somewhere in her outfit, even if it was a red carpet look.

Despite having to adjust her Hollywood wardrobe when she joined the Royal Family, Meghan's personality still shone through as she wore short-sleeved dresses and long coats.

Meghan later revealed in her Netflix docuseries that her style choices as a working royal were actually very strategic.

She explained that she opted for more discreet neutrals to avoid standing out when she was photographed with other members of the royal family.

"Most of the time that I was in the UK, I rarely wore colour. There was thought in that," Meghan said.

She explained that she wasn't supposed to wear the same colour as a more senior member of the family, which is why she went for shades like "camel, beige, white."

Meghan's style has been described as "very simple, classic and chic," with a fashion expert explaining how she creates her iconic looks.

Madison Jade does a series called Cool Girl Style on her TikTok account in which she assesses the fashion choices of the stars.

Speaking about Meghan's style, she said: "It is also very timeless. While I find a lot of her style is very 2016, and granted that is when a lot of her street style was being photographed and that sort of thing, I still think it looks really good today."

Madison showed pictures of Meghan wearing a sweater and a baseball cap and said: "I love the look of a baseball cap, jeans, and a sweater.

"This is probably the most frequent style of Meghan. I think it's a great everyday look, you look cool and not trying too hard but still put together."

Madison said Meghan's fashion is "nothing crazy but always looks put together" and added: "I find it is the perfect example of how to look professional, mature and fashion-forward and trendy at the same time."
