Meghan dazzles in striking red dress for glamorous evening outing

Meghan pulled out all the stops for a royal outing on Saturday night, turning heads in a striking red dress alongside her husband Prince Harry.

Looking as glamorous as ever, the Duchess of Sussex wore the floor-length frock with confidence, boating a huge smile on her face as she entered Royal Albert Hall for the Mountbatten Music Festival.

The gorgeous gown was the perfect fit for the mother-of-one, fitting in at the waist before flowing gracefully to the floor. She paired the number with matching red heels and carried a red clutch in her hand, while walking side by side her husband.

Meanwhile, Meghan dolled up with dark mascara and eyeliner, matched with a soft pink lip. She wore her hair in a sleek, straight style and accessorised with dark red, dangly earrings.

Her husband Prince Harry looked equally as glamorous, attending the event in his role of Captain General of the Royal Marines – a position he took on in 2017 from his grandfather, Prince Philip.

Harry wore his formal military uniform for the outing, featuring a red jacket donned with medals and black pants with a red stripe down the side. It will likely be the last time the father-of-one will be seen wearing the full military dress, as he steps away from the Captain General position when the couple cease their roles as senior members of the royal family.

The performance at Royal Albert Hall marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, and the 80th anniversary of the formation of Britain’s Commandos. Harry and Meghan will be treated to musical entertainment for the Royal Marines Association – The Royal Marines Charity.

The outing is the second joint event for the couple since returning to London for their so-called ‘farewell tour’ before they begin their new lives as private citizens from April 1.

For her return, Meghan turned heads in an electric blue fitted Victoria Beckham dress and navy stilettos by Spanish fashion designer Manolo Blahnik. Her hair was slicked back in a low ponytail and she carried a Stella McCartney clutch. Prince Harry looked handsome in a classic navy suit.

The couple attended a pre-ceremony reception where they met the nominees before arriving at the awards ceremony, where they each presented an award.

“It’s very nice to be back,” Meghan said. “It’s the third year that I’ve had the incredible fortune of joining my husband here — as you all know and can feel, it is just the most inspiring space. I will say, when I was watching the videos all the way in Canada, we each had the same moment where we said, ‘How are we going to choose?’”
