See What Meghan Markle Wore to Her First Event as a Duchess

The Duchess of Sussex (ie. Meghan Markle) attended her first Trooping the Colour at Buckingham Palace this morning, taking part in the carriage procession with the royal family. This is Meghan's very first official function as a Duchess, and she nailed it. She leaned on an American designer for the occasion, wearing a custom pale pink fitted dress by Carolina Herrera with a matching hat by Philip Treacy. Given that she has major power to make items sell out, we can expect a spike in searches for off-the-shoulder dresses today. We're obsessed with the elegant Bardot neckline and buttons on the bodice. The Duchess of Cambridge once again leaned on British designer Alexander McQueen for her Trooping of the Colour outfit, wearing an ice blue dress with a very on-trend square neckline. Keep scrolling to see the Trooping the Colour outfits, and how Meghan and Kate curtsied to the Queen.
