Meghan Markle Wore a Very Royal Outfit for Her First Event as a Duchess
What will Meghan Markle wear for her first event as the Duchess of Sussex? Well, we didn't have to wait long to answer that question. Markle looked every bit the royal attending the Prince of Wales's 70th birthday event. For the occasion, just three days after her much-anticipated wedding, Markle went for a monochrome look, including a traditional hat, a pretty A-line midi dress, tights, and a pair of Tamara Mellon Siren Pumps ($450) all in the same nude hue. As for her dress, she selected the Goat Flavia Silk-Crepe Pencil Dress ($450), which predictably is already sold out.
Of course, now everyone is eagerly awaiting news of Prince Harry and Markle's honeymoon—when will they leave, and where are they going? You can bet we can't wait to find out. In the meantime, scroll down to see Markle's first appearance as a duchess.

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.
