There are very few people in this world who can break a well-known fashion rule and make it look utterly chic, and it seems Meghan Markle is on the list.
On Saturday night, the Duchess of Sussex proved that sometimes rules are clearly meant to be broken, styling an unlikely colour pairing to attend the 2025 Baby2Baby Gala on Saturday night.
The former actress and mother of two was spotted attending the lavish event with her husband, Prince Harry, posing for a selection of snaps alongside tennis star and close friend Serena Williams. As far as date night dressing goes, Meghan Markle knows a thing or two about nailing effortless glamour.

Though the colourways are only slightly different, the mismatched colours added an extra element of depth to the dreamy dress.

For hair and makeup, the Duchess wore her long brunette locks up in a slick back bun, the perfect style to accent her face card and allow all emphasis to be on her dangly gold earrings. She left her makeup glowy and natural, a simple black winged liner look sitting pretty on her eyes and a touch of nude gloss on her lips.

Much like styling red with pink, pairing navy and black, or different shades of black together, is a fashion faux pas that’s clearly redundant when done right.
