So long, skinny jeans.

On Wednesday, Meghan Markle, 43, threw a sartorial curveball at the Time100 Summit, trading her signature form-fitting denim for wide-leg trousers.

The Duchess of Sussex suited up for her appearance in New York City, wearing a pair of tan pleated Ralph Lauren pants ($2,190) and a matching twill jacket ($2,490).

Markle grounded the flowy two-piece look with a lightweight white button-up and tied everything together with brown suede Manolo Blahnik pumps ($825) and a skinny brown leather belt.

The royal added her ever-present Cartier Tank Française watch.

Markle also sprinkled in more luxe jewelry into the look, including a stack of gold bangles and complementing rings.

The former actress’ wide-leg trousers are a departure from the skinny jeans she’s known to step out in, but perhaps she’s entering a new style era in 2025.

The “Suits” alum was joined by the Duke of Sussex, 40, who looked especially sharp in a dark navy suit, white button-up and black dress shoes.

Markle took to the stage during the event, telling the audience that she’s the “happiest” she’s ever been.

“To have a partner and a husband who is so supportive and have healthy kids who are so joyful,” Markle said. “I never would have imagined at this point I would feel so happy and grateful, and I really do.”

The Duchess of Sussex also didn’t shy away from admitting some mistakes she’s made amid her various business endeavors this year — including her As Ever brand, Netflix series “With Love, Meghan” and her podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder.”

“The past year-and-a-half has been incredibly busy and ambitious,” Markle explained.

“You see it all come to life and try to give yourself the space and the grace to make mistakes, to know you’re not doing it right every day.”
