Meghan Markle's Show-Stopping One-Shoulder Dress Highlights Weight Loss at Power of Women Event

Meghan Markle graced the red carpet at Variety’s Power of Women event on November 16, showcasing her recent weight loss in a stylish tan dress. The former actress' new slim figure was evident at the event.

The 42-year-old Duchess of Sussex dazzled in a one-shoulder dress featuring slits on both sides. Her Proenza Schouler dress was complimented with black pumps and gold hoop earrings. Meghan's hair was coiffed into an elegant low bun and her radiant glow was apparent as she posed for pictures.

In 2022, Meghan was one of the honorees at Variety's Power of Women event. However, she could not attend the event at the time as it was held just nine days after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. She expressed her delight at getting the opportunity to attend the 2023 gala and support that year’s honorees, who are Fantasia Barrino, Lily Gladstone, Carey Mulligan, and Billie Eilish.

Since leaving the royal family and moving to California in 2020, Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, have been leading a rather quiet life, raising their two children, 4-year-old Prince Archie, and 2-year-old Princess Lilibet, away from the limelight.

Meanwhile, social media has recently been buzzing about Meghan's former acting career following the boom in popularity of her show Suits on Netflix and other streaming platforms. She discussed the show's newfound binge-worthy status at the Power of Women red carpet event.

“Isn’t that strange?” she exclaimed. "Finding a show with so many episodes you can binge-watch is rare nowadays, but that might be the reason. Quality shows, however, will always endure.”

Meghan appeared in Suits from 2011 up to its seventh season finale in 2018. Her royal wedding with Prince Harry happened just a few weeks after her last episode was released. The show continued for two more seasons before concluding in September 2019.

Having left the royal lifestyle, Meghan, now a mother of two, is steering back towards her past in the entertainment industry. Although she has kept her future plans under wraps, she has mentioned a hint of what people could look forward to.

“Things that make people feel … I was going to say good, but it’s more than that,” Meghan noted. “Things that stir emotions and foster a sense of community. We have a lot of thrilling projects in the pipeline. I can't wait to share them. I'm highly proud of what we're crafting.”
