Meghan Markle’s Slinky ESPY’s Dress Copycats a Very Royal Moment
All eyes were on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at the ESPY Awards, as the duke received the Pat Tillman Award for Service for his work with the Invictus Games. The couple skipped the red carpet and instead stayed in their seats throughout the event. But that didn’t mean they didn’t generate attention. Harry was decked out in a black suit and tie with a white shirt, but it was Meghan who had all eyes on her as she copycatted a very royal moment in a slinky white dress.
Meghan Markle’s white ESPY’s dress looked strikingly familiar
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were photographed as they sat in their seats at the yearly award event. The couple celebrated Harry’s award alongside notable figures in the sports world.
However, Meghan’s look was very familiar to royal watchers. She appeared to have worn the same style of dress previously during a key royal moment.
People Magazine reports Meghan wore a custom white halter gown by Oscar de la Renta paired with black strappy sandals. The slinky gown was fitted to her body and looked strikingly like the dress she wore for her 2018 wedding reception.
Meghan donned a custom Givenchy wedding dress for her wedding ceremony to Harry. However, when it was time for their wedding reception, she changed into a formfitting white halter dress with an open back, which Stella McCartney had designed.
The McCartney and de la Renta dresses had the same halter-style neckline. The dress was cut close to the body, exposing Meghan’s toned shoulders and upper body.
Meghan Markle even used the same makeup artist for the ESPY’s as her wedding day
Makeup artist and longtime Meghan Markle friend Daniel Martin posted an image of Prince Harry and his wife at the sports awards show on Instagram. He captioned it: “ESPYS with my besties! Congratulations, buddy, on your Pat Tillman Award for Service. Makeup by yours truly.”
Martin created Meghan’s wedding look in 2018. He subsequently told Harper’s Bazaar that Meghan liked a “shimmery” look.
Meghan’s hair was styled in the same manner as her wedding day. However, instead of some face-framing tendrils, her tresses were swept back into a low bun.
The duchess finished her look with simple, classic jewelry pieces
Meghan Markle wore some of her favorite jewelry pieces to complete her sleek ESPY Awards look. Royal watchers may have seen some of these elegant accessories before.
According to the website What Meghan Wore, the Duchess of Sussex kept her jewelry to a minimum. However, all her accessories were meaningful and greatly impacted her overall look.
Meghan wore a favorite pair of Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings on her ears. Consequently, she first wore the emerald diamond stud earrings at 2019’s Trooping the Color and later, at the Lion King premiere in London that same year.
She wore a large, abstract ring from Rodi. The brand’s Cassandra style has three interconnecting 18K gold loops and a diamond loop. On her left hand was her engagement ring and wedding band from Prince Harry.
The only other piece of jewelry Meghan wore was a Cartier love bracelet. The simple gold accessory is known for locking on the wrist with a screw.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry live in Montecito, California. They are parents to two children: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
