Meghan Markle surprised guests at the prestigious Children’s Hospital 2024 Los Angeles Gala last night with her unexpected appearance. The event celebrated the resilient patients and dedicated pediatric workers, and Markle added a touch of elegance by wearing a stunning red gown by Carolina Herrera. Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time she had worn this gown for a special occasion, as she had previously dazzled on the red carpet in the same ensemble in 2021.
Meghan wore the plunging red silk-faille dress for the first time at the Intrepid Museum’s Salute to Freedom Gala in November 2021, where she was joined by Prince Harry. Originally styled with a dramatic train, she recently reimagined the look by ditching the train, showcasing the sleek column silhouette and leg slit. She kept the accessories minimal, including diamond earrings, a gold Cartier Love bracelet, and gold rings—complementing with a shimmering gold smokey eye, flushed cheeks, a nude manicure, and effortless soft waves with a middle part.
Like Cate Blanchett, Markle has been recycling wardrobe items for the red carpet, including a yellow Carolina Herrera column gown she wore to announce her pregnancy with Princess Lilibet in 2021. She has also worn Sentaler coats and Stella McCartney and Aritzia dresses, proving that the right investment pieces can be worn repeatedly by altering the silhouette slightly.
