Meghan Markle Stuns in Thigh-Slit LBD for Date Night With Prince Harry

As Kris Jenner rang in her 70th birthday on Saturday night with a James Bond-themed party, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry showed they’re Hollywood royalty as well with a spot on the star-studded guest list. The As Ever founder made a bold entrance in a thigh-slit LBD, turning the birthday festivities into a surprise date night with Prince Harry.

Jenner’s birthday party was reportedly hosted at Jeff Bezos’s swanky Beverly Hills mansion, giving guests like Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Oprah, Justin Bieber, and Paris Hilton a luxurious backdrop fitting with the 007 theme. In photos shared by People, Markle channeled her inner Bond girl with understated elegance, turning heads in a bodycon black dress with long sleeves and a form-fitting silhouette through the floor-length hemline. The Suit alum’s skirt had a sultry detail with a bold thigh-high slit, showing off a pair of black ankle wrap sandal heels underneath.  

The lifestyle maven pulled her dark brown hair back into a sleek ballerina bun, showing off a pair of statement crystal earrings that sparkled all the way down to her shoulders. She highlighted her glowing complexion with a rose gold metallic smoky eyeshadow, sculpted cheekbones, and a nude lip. Markle held a black velvet clutch in one hand, holding Prince Harry’s hand with the other as they headed to the party. Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex looked dapper in a black fitted tuxedo, black patent leather dress shoes, and an unexpected nod to the royal family: A red poppy flower that was pinned to his lapel, a seeming nod to his sister-in-law Kate Middleton and nephew Prince George’s appearance at the Festival of Remembrance on November 8. 

Markle, who recently announced her return to acting after a decade hiatus, counts Jenner among the many celebrity fans of her As Ever brand. The With Love, Meghan star gifted some of her viral jam and honey products to the Momager as well as her daughter Khloé Kardashian.
