A few days after making her Paris Fashion Week debut at the Balenciaga show, the Duchess of Sussex stepped out with her prince in New York City for the Project Healthy Mind Gala, where she rocked another minimalist look — an all-black Armani suit with a plunging blazer and matching slacks.
She pulled her hair into a ponytail, accessorizing with a substantial gold chain necklace and stud earrings. She also carried a small black clutch while holding hands with Harry on the event’s black carpet.
Prince Harry coordinated his attire in a black suit as well, layering the look with a white button down shirt and a black tie.
The royal couple are being honored with the Humanitarians of the Year award, in recognition of the work they have done through their Archewell Foundation to make the digital world safer for young people and their families.
Last month, Meghan and Harry released a statement about the award ahead of their planned appearance: “As parents ourselves, we have been moved to action by the power of their stories and are honored to support them.”
“We’re proud to be long-time partners of Project Healthy Minds as we work together to shine a light on what remains one of the most pressing issues of our time,” the statement continued.
While Markle was in Paris until recently, this is the prince’s second big event in New York City this week.
On Wednesday, Harry made a surprise appearance at the Australian American Association for an event held by the Movember Institute of Men’s Health.
In a speech, he acknowledged that access to therapy — a cause about which both he and the duchess are passionate — is still insufficient, particularly in the United States.
Of course, fans of the exiled royal couple are thrilled for any glimpse into their private lives; however, it is their public appearances — in exceptional style, of course — that truly make an impact.
After all, what aspiring princess doesn’t enjoy getting dressed up for a ball? Especially when it’s for a good cause.
