Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, brought a ray of sunshine to the Your Commonwealth Youth Challenge Reception on July 5. She stepped out alongside Prince Harry in an unexpected yellow dress that looked completely different than her usual neutral wardrobe.
The former Meghan Markle paired the midi-length sleeveless sheath — made by American designer Brandon Maxwell — with a pair of Manolo Blahnik nude pumps, and wore her hair in a low bun parted down the middle. She kept her makeup minimal and, as always, let her freckles show through.
