Meghan Markle Chose a Black Brocade Dress For the Royal Family's Important Outing

Updated on Nov 11, 2019 at 1:00 PM

On Saturday, the royal family reunited publicly for the first time in months to attend the Royal British Legion's Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle joined Queen Elizabeth II for a somber evening of reflection before Remembrance Sunday, which honors military members who died in war.

This is Meghan's second round of remembrance events since becoming a royal last year. She chose a sophisticated black brocade dress by Erdem for the occasion. Erdem appears to be a favorite designer for Meghan, as well as for her sister-in-law, Kate. Meghan's retro pick featured an A-line skirt that hit right above her knee, a belted waist, and buttons down the front. The Duchess of Sussex completed the look with a trusty pair of Jessica McCormack hoop earrings, her Aquazzura pumps, and the traditional red poppy pin. Ahead, see more photos of her full outfit.
