The Duchess of Sussex made a triumphant return to the red carpet on Thursday, captivating attendees at Variety magazine's Power of Women gala in Los Angeles with her unmistakable elegance.
Meghan, an honouree at the event, stole the spotlight in a stunning $1,400 caramel off-the-shoulder gown by Proenza Schouler. The floor-length creation gracefully showcased her figure, embodying the epitome of understated luxury.

The Duchess once revealed to Allure that this eyeliner is essential to her 'five-minute face' routine, stating, "If I'm going to amp [my makeup] up for the night, then I use MAC ‘Teddy’ eyeliner, which is a really beautiful brown that has some gold in it." This trusted product is also favoured by celebrities like Sofia Vergara.
