Meghan Markle has already hit several milestones in her short time as a duchess, including her first event with the queen and her first trip outside of England. Now, four months after her already-iconic wedding, the Duchess of Sussex has made her first solo appearance as a royal. On Tuesday evening, Markle opened the Oceania exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

For the occasion, Markle wore a black dress by her wedding dress designer, Givenchy. The beautiful sheer sleeves gave the look knee-length dress just a hint of sultriness, and we're obsessed. She also re-wore her favorite black Aquazzura pumps, which she's been wearing consistently since June. (You know we love it when royals bring back their favorite pieces.)
