Meghan Markle stuns in £4,600 Oscar de la Renta dress with embroidered birds as she attends awards ceremony with Prince Harry

MEGHAN Markle has stepped out in yet another gorgeous ball gown as she attended the prestigious Australian Geographic Society Awards with Prince Harry.

Opting for a beautiful monochrome creation by Dominican designer Oscar de la Renta, Meghan’s show-stopping dress featured intricate laser-cut black birds which highlighted the evening’s environmental cause.

The Duchess of Sussex, who is expecting her first child in Spring 2019, paired the beautiful monochrome dress with simple black kitten heels and minimal jewellery.

In true Meghan Markle style, the elegant black and white tulle ball gown nipped in at the waist and gave a slight hint of the Duchess’ growing baby bump.

The flawless designer dress from Oscar de la Renta’s AW18 collection costs £4,600 and features a showstopping tulle skirt.

Allowing her princess-worthy dress to do all the talking, Meghan wore her hair in her signature loose waves and opted for a bronzed beauty look.

Showing her support for environmental causes, Meghan presented the Young Conservationist of the Year at the Shangru-La Hotel in Sydney.

The couple also accepted an award on behalf of Prince Charles for his environmental work.

Prince Harry gave credit to his father for his “unrelenting commitment to preserve the most valuable resource we have – the planet.”

Turning to one of her failsafe designers for the special occasion, the Duchess is often spotted in Oscar de la Renta creations.

Only last month, the Duchess opted for an oversized navy blouse by the designer to disguise her pregnancy.

In even more Royal fashion news, Meghan Markle wore the Queen’s least favourite fashion item to the beach in Australia.

And all of Meghan Markle’s dresses have this one thing in common – and it sends a VERY powerful message.

Plus THIS is Meghan Markle’s secret style icon… and here are all the looks she stole from the A-list star.
