On the day she became the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle was whisked to her wedding reception by her new husband Prince Harry in a powder-blue Jaguar E-type, wearing a fluid white halter-neck gown by Stella McCartney. Six years on, she flashed back to that hopeful moment with a surprise public outing in LA at the 2024 ESPY Awards, where she joined Harry (who was being presented with the Pat Tillman Award for Service) on the red carpet wearing a backless white dress by Oscar de la Renta.

Besides bringing back memories of her bridal style, Meghan’s chosen look had all the hallmarks of her most memorable forays onto the red carpet (one-shouldered Givenchy for the Fashion Awards, sleek and chic VB for a final appearance in London, pale and interesting Proenza Schouler at the Power of Women gala): classic, understated, effective. She added black strappy sandals, her signature simple low bun, and a subtle smattering of diamonds for her rare outing.
