Meghan dress is ode to iconic Diana moment

Meghan Markle has become known for her rule-breaking fashion, much like her late grandmother-in-law Princess Diana.

The 37-year-old royal surprised fans on October 22, while taking a walk along Kingfisher Bay jetty, Fraser Island, with husband Prince Harry.

The Duchess of Sussex opted for a grey and white linen dress from US brand Reformation, which retails for $US218 ($A308).

The sheer style of Meghan’s dress has been compared to a see-through dress Princess Diana wore in 1980 at the start of her relationship with Prince Charles.

It was one of the first photos of the future royal that captured a rare royal style faux pas.

Meghan has recently been carving her own fashion rules while travelling through Australia.

Most recently, Meghan's toe-nail polish and choice of wedged heels has caused a stir with royal fans.
