Meghan Markle Wears a Black Dress at the Festival of Remembrance

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped out in London on Saturday night for the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.

The annual concert commemorates the people who tragically lost their lives in conflicts. Per the British Legion's official website, 2019 is significant as it marks the "75th anniversaries of the great battles of 1944 and the collaboration and friendship of the British, Commonwealth, and Allied armies who fought them."

For the concert, Duchess Meghan wore a black brocade dress with a cinched belted waist, a low-cut neckline, and a flared skirt. Per Twitter user @WhatMeghanWore, the duchess's dress was custom Erdem. She accessorized her look with her beloved Aquazzura Deneuve bow pointy toe pumps, and a gorgeous pair of Jessica McCormack ruby heart earrings.
