When We Say Meghan Markle's Dress Is Brighter Than the Sun, We're Hardly Exaggerating

Meghan Markle kept on with her cool, sophisticated style as she stepped out alongside Prince Harry for the Commonwealth youth reception in London on July 5. The Duchess of Sussex bared her shoulders, albeit in a high-neck midi designed by Brandon Maxwell, who got his start as Lady Gaga's stylist. This number retails for $1,495, but was on sale at Net-a-Porter for $598 until it sold out.

Women often in the public eye, like Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama, have tapped Maxwell for his sleek suiting and clean lines before. Meghan's ensemble, however, got an update in a flashy, marigold colorway. We'd hardly be surprised if she starts a trend and yellow dresses suddenly become all anyone wants to shop for. Ahead, read on for an all-angles view of the crisp outfit, which Meghan completed with neutral pumps and Adina Reyter earrings ($498), then shop plenty of similar options if you've been influenced by the Meghan Markle effect.
