After Meghan Markle’s surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards last night, there’s only one thing on our wish list: a black one-shoulder dress.
At this time of year, shopping for a great party dress can be time-consuming.
Thank goodness, then, for Meghan Markle’s stunning choice of silhouette at last night’s British Fashion Awards because she officially debuted the style of the season: a one-shoulder dress.
Appearing on-stage at the Royal Albert Hall to present Givenchy designer Clare Waight Keller with the British Designer of the Year Womenswear accolade, Meghan opted for a full-length black-column velvet gown by her go-to creator.
