Meghan Markle looked effortlessly chic in a LBD for a women's empowerment reception at the Royal Aeronautical Society last night (19 April).
The dress she wore, from designer Black Halo, is the perfect transitional frock, that could take someone from office, to drinks, then dinner.

Formfitting, with a cowl-neck, the £266 LBD, is available in the UK from Shopbop, and named 'The Jackie O,' after the former First Lady.
"I’ve been asked so many times what my inspiration was behind our Jackie O Dress. Honestly, it came out of necessity," designer Laurel Berman said about the dress, which features a gorgeous draped neckline.

"One of my favourite go-to looks was a high-waist pencil skirt and a silk camisole. Every time I sat down or moved my camisole would come untucked. As a designer I had the luxury of solving the problem myself by stitching the two pieces together."

She describes the dress Meghan is wearing as something that can be worn for work, cocktails and then dinner afterwards, with everyone from working women to Hollywood celebrities wearing the flattering design.
Prince Harry and Meghan were at the reception, hosted by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, meeting representatives from charities and organisations working to promote global gender equality.
The couple are due to tie the knot on 19 May, and have invited members of the public to their special day. These include the likes of Philip Gillespie who lost his right leg in an IED incident in Afghanistan, and schoolboy Reuben Litherland who was born deaf and spends his lunchtimes teaching sign language at school.
