Meghan Markle ditched the suits to wear a dark dress by Jason Wu for her appearance the 100 Days To Peace gala with Prince Harry. The look follows two tuxedo outfits from the Duchess of Sussex, who wore an Altuzarra suit to the WellChild Awards on Tuesday and a Judith & Charles blazer dress to Hamilton last week.

Today's engagement is an “evening of music and reflection” that marks the last 100 days of World War I, according to the event’s official website. The highlight of the event will be renowned composer Sir Karl Jenkins conducting his work, “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace,” performed by the Royal Choral Society and the Philharmonia Orchestra.

Proceeds from the gala will benefit the charities Help for Heroes, Combat Stress, and Heads Together, the Royal Foundation's initiative to raise awareness for mental health.

Meghan and Harry appear to be fans of the classical music, as seen by the performers at their royal wedding in May. The ceremony featured Sheku Kanneh-Mason, a cello prodigy and student at the Royal Academy of Music, and an orchestra that included instrumentalists from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the English Chamber Orchestra and the Philharmonia.

Of course, today’s gala isn’t the first musical performance Harry and Meghan have attended together. Last week, the couple attended a charity show of Hamilton in the West End with Lin-Manuel Miranda. The Duke of Sussex even got in on the fun and sang a few notes onstage.

This marks a busy week for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, after some time off in August, where they visited George and Amal Clooney at Lake Como, and Meghan reunited with her friend Jessica Mulroney in Toronto.
