Meghan Markle made a stylish entrance to her and Prince Harry’s second, more intimate wedding reception on Saturday evening.

The Duchess of Sussex slipped out of her Givenchy wedding gown, which she wore for the ceremony and the Queen’s luncheon reception, into a more flirty dress by English designer Stella McCartney.

Meghan opted for an elegant figure-skimming full-length gown, while Prince Harry looked dapper in black suit for the evening reception at Frogmore House. She wore matching pumps from Aquazurra made in silky satin, with nude mesh and baby blue soles.

The Palace announced the dress details: “The Bride’s evening dress is designed by Stella McCartney and is a bespoke lily white high neck gown made of silk crepe. The Bride is wearing shoes from Aquazurra made in silky satin, with nude mesh, with soles painted in baby blue.

“Ms. Markle’s hair has been styled for the Evening Reception by George Northwood.”

The married couple, who earlier delighted more than 100,000 well-wishers with a kiss on the steps of St George’s Chapel, are now heading to the black tie evening reception.

Prince Charles hosts the royal wedding’s final gathering at Frogmore House on the grounds of Windsor Castle. Harry and Meghan will join 250 close friends and family members at the stunning country house, where the couple enjoyed picnics when they first started dating.

Earlier today, the duchess tied the knot in a stunning simple boat neck gown by Givenchy. She chose a delicate white veil that was held in place by Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau tiara, lent to Meghan by the Queen. The diamond bandeau is English and was made in 1932, with the entre brooch dating from 1893.

Harry, meanwhile, wore the frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals.

Following the pair’s carriage procession, the Queen hosted a breakfast luncheon at St. George’s Hall.
