Meghan Markle made a glittering appearance at the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards on Tuesday.
The Duchess stunned in a slinky, strapless gold midi-dress by Johanna Ortiz, that featured a scallop design and an exposed zipper in the back, as well as discreet cut-out detailing on the torso.
While Meghan looked so glamorous on the night, her arrival at the event was far less glitzy!

But they made their entrance via the neighbouring Hertz car rental office.

“I don’t understand!!! Why the Hertz office?!” one fan queried. “Look at the Hertz rental lady’s face!” another noted.
The evening was presided over by legendary activist, journalist and feminist icon Gloria Steinem, who is also a co-founder of Ms Foundation.

“You can be the visionary of your own life… There is still so much work to be done.

“It allowed me to recognise that part of my greater value and purpose in life was to advocate for those who felt unheard, to stand up to injustice, and to not be afraid of saying what is true and what is just and what is right.”
© Kevin MazurTuesday’s event marked the first public event that Harry and Meghan have attended together since the duke made the solo trip to the King’s coronation earlier this month.
Meghan had opted to stay at their US home in Montecito, California, with their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Also named among the Women of Vision honorees were LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter; Wanda Irving, co-founder of Dr. Shalon's Maternal Action Project and Kimberly Inez McGuire, executive director of Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity.
