Meghan Markle loves a little black dress [1], but the ones she chooses are anything but boring. Case in point: the black dress by Emilia Wickstead that the Duchess of Sussex wore to a Summer party at the British Ambassador's residence at Glencairn House in Dublin on Tuesday. Smiling alongside husband Prince Harry (as usual [2]), Meghan looked stunning (as usual) in the A-line, sleeveless dress with a square neckline.
The royal couple are in Ireland [3] for a two-day visit, and Meghan already showed her pride for the country in a sophisticated green outfit [4]. When you look a little closer at her garden-party dress, you'll spot details that make this dress even more desirable: pockets and a thick belt around the waist that has gold loops on just one side — aka just enough bling. It reminds us a little bit of the belted Black Halo dress [5] Meghan wore back in April. Take a look at the dress from all angles ahead, and shop a few similar options.
