Meghan Markle proved that simplicity is chic with her 2024 ESPY Awards ensemble. The Duchess of Sussex, 42, sported a white halter neck dress while attending the Thursday, July 11, sports awards ceremony with her husband, Prince Harry . The sleek, backless gown was reportedly a custom creation by Oscar de la Renta.
Markle completed her look with a pair of black strappy heels, diamond stud earrings and natural glam makeup. She highlighted the dress’ high neckline by sporting her hair in a slicked-back bun. Harry, for his part, kept things classy in a black tux, white dress shirt and a black tie.
Markle’s ESPYS outfit has drawn comparisons to one of her most iconic looks, as it features many similarities to her May 2018 wedding reception gown by Stella McCartney . Though both white dresses feature halter necks, Markle’s wedding dress featured a fuller skirt. The Suits alum also paired the wedding reception gown with more elaborate jewelry, including diamond drop earrings and an emerald-cut aquamarine ring similar to one worn by Harry’s mother, Princess Diana , in 1996.
