Meghan Markle Wows in Strapless All-Black Outfit (But I Noticed Something Interesting About Her Look)

I did a double take

From surprise appearances to PDA-filled royal tours, Meghan Markle’s schedule has been filled with special outings. And the Duchess of Sussex, 43, still makes her children a priority, even if she has to leave an event early to make them dinner.

Last night, Markle stepped out for an event in Venice, California, to celebrate the launch of a new haircare line, Highbrow Hippie. (FYI, Markle is an investor of the brand, which was co-founded by her colorist, Kadi Lee.)

I quickly noticed something interesting about her outfit. At first, I thought the royal was wearing a flattering jumpsuit. But upon closer inspection, I realized it was a two-piece set consisting of a bustier top with matching pants. 

The blouse has a sweetheart neckline that complements the hourglass silhouette. The wide-leg trousers are a trendy alternative to fitted pants, and they add the illusion of length to the duchess’s legs. When paired with the top, the outfit could pass as a jumpsuit.

Her latest outing came just one week after Markle made a surprise appearance alongside her husband, Prince Harry. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared in a video that was shown at the Global Ministerial Conference on Violence Against Children, where they discussed the importance of online restrictions for children. 

In a surprising move, the couple paid tribute to the royal family and their British connection by pinning poppies to their lapels. The red poppy brooches have been used since 1921 to commemorate military members who have died in war.

I’m totally using this bustier look as holiday outfit inspiration
