We all watched in awe as Meghan Markle walked down the aisle in her custom Givenchy gown to wed her prince. While her face-framing ‘do and epic veil got a lot of attention, all eyes were on her pristine white dress boasting a bateau neckline. As much as the duchess loves her Harry, she may just love that shoulder-teasing neckline more.
Meghan seems to have an affinity for bateau necklines (aka boatnecks), from blouses to dresses. Her designer picks almost always have the neckline in common, even if the amount of skin shown varies. But you don’t have to become a royal to rock the classic silhouette. While off-the-shoulder and tie-front pieces come and go, bateau necklines never go out of style. And the skin-baring neckline is the perfect way to flaunt a little clavicle.
Here are 15 bateau neckline picks to have you looking like a princess.
