Meghan Markle [1] kept on with her cool, sophisticated style [2] as she stepped out alongside Prince Harry for the Commonwealth youth reception [3] in London on July 5. The Duchess of Sussex bared her shoulders, albeit in a high-neck midi designed by Brandon Maxwell [4], who got his start as Lady Gaga [5]'s stylist.
Women often in the public eye, like Oprah Winfrey [6] and Michelle Obama [7], have tapped Maxwell for his sleek suiting and clean lines before. Meghan's ensemble, however, got an update in a flashy, marigold colourway. We'd hardly be surprised if she starts a trend [8] and yellow dresses suddenly become all anyone wants to shop for. Ahead, read on for an all-angles view of the crisp outfit, which Meghan completed with neutral pumps [9] and stud earrings, then shop the exact look along with plenty of similar options if you've been influenced by the Meghan Markle effect [10].
