Meghan Markle Is ‘Gorgeous, Casual, And Classic’ In A Strapless Black-And-White Dress For Pre-Birthday Dinner With Prince Harry
August 19, 2023 by Marissa Matozzo
Meghan Markle was just spotted in Montecito, California enjoying an intimate dinner on the eve of her 42nd birthday, in style! The Suits alum was papped with husband Prince Harry at local Italian restaurant, Tre Lune. For the evening’s festivities, the Duchess of Sussex donned a curve-accentuating, black-and-white, striped tube gown.
The mom of two’s strapless, trendy ‘Theo’ dress hails from the chic Australian label Posse, and stars like Katie Holmes and fashion influencers such as Arielle Charnas have been photographed wearing it recently, as well.
Meghan Markle Spotted In Another Chic, Simple And Stunning Black-And-White Ensemble
To complete her summery look, Markle added a wooden beaded Cult Gaia Nia Clutch, understated, black Emme Parsons Cecilia Sandals, and looped Tabayer Oera Earrings in gold. She tied her long, brunette tresses in a slicked-back, elegant and effortless updo.
Of course, this isn't the first time that Markle has stunned with an outfit that honored a black-and-white color palette. Back in 2019, Markle wowed onlookers with her minimalist, tasteful get-up as she strutted down the Endeavor Fund Awards red carpet (above).
For the occasion, Markle emphasized her baby bump with an oversized, white, collared, long-sleeved top and a Givenchy black pencil skirt. Her dark piece highlighted her tiny waist and long legs with the help of a daring high slit. She accessorized with a matching Givenchy black clutch and Aquazzura heels. Her hair was also styled in a similar fashion as her latest outing.
At the same awards ceremony one year earlier (above), Markle also looked gorgeous in black-and-white pieces. The former actress attended her first black-tie event with her then fiancé, and wore a black ankle-length pantsuit from Alexander McQueen, which she paired with a white Tuxe bow bodysuit, leg-elongating black heels and a Prada clutch.
Black-and-white is truly a timeless pairing, and Markle is a timeless beauty, as also seen with her outfit for the 2019 International Women's Day outfit for a King's College London event in 2019 (above).
For that day, Markle chose a high-necked Reiss 'Azzura' mini dress, which she elevated with a crisp black Alexander McQueen blazer.
We can see why she opts for this palette time and time again!
