Meghan Markle ignored by designers because ‘she wasn’t an A-list celebrity’

Surprisingly there was a time, not so long ago, when Meghan Markle wasn't famous enough for fashion designers.

Before tying the knot to Prince Harry, the Duchess was working as an actress on Suits, and apparently wasn't appearing in enough movies for the fashion industry to take an interest in her.

Meghan's makeup artist, Daniel Martin, says that while designers might be desperate to catch her attention now, that wasn't always the case.

"There were times when designers wouldn't send her anything because she wasn't an A-list actress or she wasn't doing movies," Martin said. Now, she's considered a style icon, and the outfits sell out after she's seen wearing them. "She always had such an innate sense of her own style so I'm happy people can see that," Martin said.
