While visiting Morocco today, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped out in their third pair of fancy outfits for the short three-day royal visit. The duchess wore a pleated black strapless dress (designer TBD) under a white Aritzia Babaton blazer. She accessorized with gold GAS Bijoux “Gourmette” earrings and black slingback heels.

Of course, the two are thousands of miles away from the Oscars, but the Sussexes still looked red-carpet ready (and walked across a literal red carpet in Morocco) for their visit to the Andalusian Gardens in Rabat to meet local artisans and entrepreneurs.

Markle's BFF Serena Williams, who threw the duchess a very glam baby shower in New York City last week, presented the film A Star Is Born at the Academy Awards last night, so we have no doubt that the former Suits star was missing her (real) red-carpet days.

Hey, if you can't be there, dressing the part is the next best thing, right?
