Donning a sleek Alexander McQueen classic suiting jacket ($1,995) layered over a Boss ivory bodysuit ($280) with McQueen black cigarette pants ($795) and matching pumps, the actress and activist protected herself from the unruly weather under an umbrella as she and Prince Harry made their way into the main event. Meanwhile, her famous beau faced the raindrops without any cover dressed in a blue suit.

“Meghan surprised almost everyone this evening showing up to the Endeavour Awards in…a suit! While perhaps not the most surprising choice for an actress who was on a TV show called Suits for years, or someone who has worn several iterations of the suit on the red carpet over the years, today’s outfit stood out as a bold choice by a woman proving to us all that she’s going to do this royalty thing…her way,” Amanda Dishaw of Meghan’s Mirror told E! News. 

“The suit was a modern, fresh take on someone who I believe was trying to minimize the amount of attention to her clothes and focus them instead on the worthy cause of the Endeavour Awards themselves,” Dishaw suggested. “The suit is something that I’m sure we will continue to see in years to come—it’s a classic silhouette and there are so many ways to change up the look.”
