Meghan Markle's stunning wedding dress will go down in history. But years after the event the Duchess of Sussex, 42, is still providing endless inspiration in crisp white looks.
The Duchess was spotted at the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope gala in 2022 alongside her husband Prince Harry, 39, looking the picture of radiance in a Bardot-style white midi evening dress with a straight cut.

Meghan styled the bride-worthy look with a pair of black pointed-toe stilettos but could easily have been styled with a pair of nude or white heels for a modern bridal look or a hen do outfit.

In the same year, Meghan mixed a vintage aesthetic with a bridal hue when she attended a National Service of Thanksgiving to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II at St Paul's Cathedral.

Meghan also wowed at the IGF Reception during day two of the Invictus Games The Hague 2020 at Zuiderpark. She rocked a white mini dress with floral cutouts on the decolletage and shoulders. She wore contrasting brown suede heels to compliment her berry lip.

She carried a white bag with gold chain detailing which tied in effortlessly with her hand chain jewellery and timeless gold watch.

Meghan's second wedding dress was also one to remember. Her halterneck Stella McCartney dress was described officially as "a bespoke lily white high neck gown made of silk crepe". She pulled Princess Diana's aquamarine ring from her collection once again and styled her hair in a classic updo with face-framing pieces.
