Meghan Markle may be wearing a beekeeper suit in new behind-the-scenes footage promoting her upcoming Netflix series, but we’re the ones abuzz about her on-camera aesthetic, in particular her choice to rely on a tried-and-true style rule that’s universally flattering.

All hail the rule of thirds

Enter the Rule of Thirds, which stems from a theory of composition derived from the art world. The gist? When getting dressed, you should aim to divide your body into thirds rather than halves, which offers a result that’s more visually appealing than cutting your body in two.
In the footage from her new show, With Love, Meghan, which is set to debut on March 4, Meghan does exactly that and in a variety of looks that are as elegant as they are easy to replicate. Peep the teaser trailer above, posted to Meghan’s brand-new Instagram account, and you’ll see the Duchess of Sussex accomplish this in a variety of spots.

In the first, you see her hugging a crew member while wearing a cream-colored blouse, which she pairs with a pinstripe pant and belt. (You’ll notice the way the belt hits at her natural waist vs. the exact middle of her frame, which is the key to nailing this style trick.)
A few seconds later, there’s Meghan dancing in the kitchen in a mauve monochromatic blouse and pant. (Bonus points for her sleeve roll, which does even more to up the visual interest.) Again, the pant hits at her natural waist, making up the bottom two thirds. Finally, Meghan’s shown in what appears to be a midi skirt and short-sleeve sweater while wearing an apron. With her top tucked into the skirt, the rule of thirds is clear—not to mention the proof that this is a style formula that works.
As for the signature pieces that anchor each ensemble? We’ve pulled similar options below. Now, about Meghan’s beekeeper attire...look closely and you’ll see: It also follows the rule of thirds. Brava.
