Teaming up with Her Royal Highness for their second engagement together in less than two weeks, Meghan Markle looked stunning as she attended a star-studded reception in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's Young Leaders Awards.
For the glamorous occasion, the Duchess of Sussex looked chic in a light pink Prada dress which featured a double-breasted blouse and skirt complete with a matching belt. The look was similar to the Carolina Herrera off-the-shoulder-dress she wore for Trooping the Colour earlier this month.
She teamed her look with a Prada leather clutch, black suede heels by Aquazzura Deneuve and her signature diamond cross bracelet by Vanessa Tugendhaft.

The Queen hosted the annual ceremony at Buckingham Palace, which recognises the achievements of change-makers across the UK, and saw the likes of David Beckham, Sir Lenny Henry and ELLE cover star model Neelam Gill in attendance.
During the celebrations, Prince Harry, who was recently named an ambassador of the organisation, addressed the 61 honorees with a heartwarming speech about their contributions to their communities.
‘I guess you can say you're stuck with me,’ the Duke of Sussex joked. ‘I, together with my wife Meghan, look forward to convening young people from around the Commonwealth to hear your ideas, work with you to build platforms for you to collaborate and form partnerships, and continue to meet with many of you as we travel around in our work on behalf of the royal family.
‘We look forward to meeting many of you this evening—but we also hope to see you in action in your home countries someday too.’
Earlier this month, the Duchess carried out her first solo event with the Queen in the North West of England, wearing a structured oat-coloured Givenchy dress.
Next month, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will continue their royal duties with their first official visit to Ireland next month.
'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit Dublin, Ireland on 10 & 11 July. The visit is at the request of Her Majesty’s Government,' the Palace announced on its Twitter page last week.
'They are looking forward to learning more about Ireland's history and experiencing its rich culture, as well as meeting the people who are shaping the country's future.'
Anyone else think another nude-coloured dress is on the cards?
