Throwback! Duchess Meghan sparkled at the Golden Globes in 2013

These days she's a royal mom-to-be with a spectacular wedding to Prince Harry under her blossoming belt and their first child due this spring. But former actress Meghan Markle used to spend her days filming the hit legal drama Suits in Toronto and travelling the world to promote it - including a trip to Hollywood in 2013 to attend NBC's star-studded Golden Globes after party!

Though she favours more subdued fabrics in her wardrobe these days, the brunette beauty brought that Markle Sparkle on this particular night in a glittering bronze dress with long sleeves that featured lace cuffs and a nipped waist.

The back of the dress boasted a pretty cutout, showing off the star's back. And with a hemline falling just above the knee (a length she continues to wear as a royal - tuxedo dress, anyone?), her toned legs were also front and centre.

She broke all the rules to bring the messy bun into the royal fold, and it looks like the former Toronto resident has always been a fan of relaxed updos. For her night toasting the Golden Globes, the 37-year-old amped up the volume on top for an extra dose of glamour!

The former lifestyle blogger carried a metallic Prada clutch and wore dark nail polish - something she rarely does now that she's royalty, where Essie's Ballet Slippers is the shade of choice! But Meghan opted for a deep burgundy polish recently when she made a surprise appearance at The Fashion Awards to honour her wedding dress designer, Clare Waight Keller.

Her footwear of choice these days doesn't have a red sole (think Aquazzura's Deneuve Bow pumps, Manolo Blahnik's BB pumps and Stuart Weitzman's The Legend pumps), but back in her acting days Meghan partied in Christian Louboutin's patent-leather pumps - and by the look of the heels, they were a favourite pair!

One thing that Meghan hasn't given up since joining 'the firm' is her signature makeup look, which plays up her natural beauty by accentuating her eyes, giving her skin a bronzed glow and finishing the look with a glossy pink lip.
