Markle sported a little black dress from Dior with a bateau neckline and full skirt that closely resembled the style and silhouette of the [white Givenchy wedding gown](http://time.com/5245809/meghan-markle-royal-wedding-dress/) designed by [Clare Waight Keller](http://time.com/5271176/givenchy-clare-waight-keller-royal-wedding-dress/) that she wore to marry Prince Harry less than three months ago in May. Markle paired her lady like look with a delicate black fascinator, a black clutch purse, and a pair of nude pumps. While the dresses came from two different design houses, it’s clear that Markle has a penchant for this neckline and fit. See both of Markle’s looks below.
