In her acting days, Meghan Markle was a regular on red carpets in Los Angeles and New York City. Since she joined the royal family, however, her appearances have understandably been few and far between. Luckily for fans of her style, she treated us to a fantastic red carpet fashion moment last night, looking every bit the Hollywood star.

Markle attended the Paley Center for Media's Paley Honors fall gala honoring Tyler Perry at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills. For the occasion, she wore a strapless, backless Oscar de la Renta dress with Stuart Weitzman heels. Her look is a study in minimalism—there's nothing fussy or over-the-top about this sleek outfit. While I love a good head-turning red carpet moment as much as the next person, I also appreciate a look that's striking in its simplicity.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
