Meghan Markle stepped out this evening to attend to attend the One Young World summit at the Royal Albert Hall wearing a purple midi dress, which appears to be by American retailer, Aritzia.

The dress, which was available at Aritzia is now completely sold out in every size.

Aritiza is a Canadian retailer which was founded in 1984.

The last time 38-year-old Meghan opted to wear the dress was in January on hers and Prince Harry’s first joint event of 2019, on a day-long visit to Birkenhead, where she paired the dress with a red coat and matching heels.

For the event this evening, Meghan opted to pair the dress with demure navy pumps, no doubt by her favourite, Manolo Blahnik, while her hair and make-up were kept natural.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Instagram account mentioned the event earlier today, writing:

“The Duchess of Sussex will attend @OneYoungWorld opening ceremony this evening to continue her support for this amazing collective of global youth ambassadors. Her Royal Highness was a counsellor for OYW in Dublin in 2014 as well as in Ottawa in 2016.

This evening she again joins world leaders and activists to celebrate the youth of today as they tackle some of the world’s greatest problems. She is proud to attend as Vice President of The Queens Commonwealth Trust and to continue her long-standing commitment to this very important summit.”

Meghan is vice-president of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust, which is partnering with One Young World to bring 53 young leaders to the summit event tonight.
