Meghan Markle brought a little extra glitz and glamour to the 2026 Fifteen Percent Pledge Fundraising Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
Attending without husband Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex wore a strapless oyster-colored gown with black piping at the sweetheart neckline, a custom design by Charles Harbison of Harbison Studio.
A black velvet-and-silk shawl with a dramatic train was draped over her arms.

Markle, 44, slicked her hair back in a tight bun and opted for her usual minimal glam.

The Fifteen Percent Pledge, which was founded by Aurora James, is a non-profit organization that encourages retailers to commit at least 15 percent of their shelf space and revenue to black-owned businesses.
Beyonce’s mom, Tina Knowles, was honored at the annual event for her advocacy for the community.
Chloe Bailey, Kimora Lee Simmons and Winnie Harlow were among the guests in attendance at the gala, which was held at Paramount Studios.
Prince Harry did not accompany Markle to the event, though just days earlier, the As Ever founder posted a video of her husband as she brought him sweet treats as he worked in his office.

The video was promoting her latest As Ever collaboration with Compartés Chocolates, which includes her brand’s signature raspberry and strawberry spreads along with a collection of chocolate treats.
As part of the collab, she posted a photo of herself wearing a familiar-looking navy Roland Mouret dress from when she was a working member of the royal family.
Markle previously wore the elegant strapless midi in November 2018, when she and Prince Harry attended the Royal Foundation Dinner at Kensington Palace.

Markle and Harry were last spotted together at Sundance Film Festival in Utah last month for the premiere of their documentary “Cookie Queens.”
Page Six Hollywood exclusively reported the pair appeared “guarded” during the event and Harry, 41, only “wanted to talk about was his Daily Mail trial.”
Last month, Harry testified that wife Markle’s royal life was “absolute misery” during his trial against the UK tabloid.
