On Saturday, Meghan Markle embodied classic glamour on the arrival carpet for the 2026 Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala in Los Angeles. The Duchess of Sussex wore a gown from Harbison Studio, a white strapless look with black piping along the neckline. She wore it with a black velvet coat hanging from her elbows, creating a long train.

She wore the gown with black Stuart Weitzman sandal heels, accessorizing with dangling onyx and diamond earrings. Meghan had her hair up in an elegant chignon and had on a natural makeup palette with a slight smokey eye.

The Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala encourages retailers to dedicate 15 percent of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses. Other attendees included Kelly Rowland, Keke Palmer, Emma Grede, Law Roach, Winnie Harlow, and Tina Knowles. Knowles was the honoree for the night. Designer and event organizer Aurora James told Forbes, “She’s done a fantastic job of centering black women for the entirety of her career. She has consistently believed in that representation from day one and has been a strong advocate for Black-owned businesses for years.”

Meghan’s husband, Prince Harry, did not appear to attend the gala with the duchess. On Friday, Meghan shared a video from life at home, in which she was offering Harry some chocolate from As Ever’s collaboration with chocolatier Compartés. The clip showed Harry seated at his home office, working as the family dog slept at his feet. Meghan came in to offer him a box of chocolate and he selected his favorite one before thanking her and saying, “Love you!”
