Meghan, Duchess of Sussex Wears Dior for RAF Centennial Celebrations

Meghan Markle, the newest member of the British royal family, is having a busy week. Just yesterday she attended her nephew Prince Louis’s christening, stepping out in a custom Ralph Lauren dress. Today she joined her fellow young royals (including her husband Prince Harry) for the centenary of the Royal Air Force at Westminster Abbey in London clad in custom Dior.

Elegantly cut to reveal a sliver of skin along the collarbone, the boatneck dress was similar in silhouette to the custom Givenchy gown that Markle wore to walk down the aisle this past May. The dress was gently nipped at the waist and secured with a thin belt, in keeping with the traditional 1950s New Look shape the French house is famous for.

The duchess chose a Stephen Jones hat to complete the look, a label that is fast becoming Markle’s go-to milliner. She accessorized elsewhere with a coordinating box clutch and fresh optic white stilettos.
