Last night the Duchess of Sussex attended the 10th One Young World Summit Opening Ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London along. It was her third time in attendance as a counsellor, and her first time attending as a member of The Royal Family and Vice President of The Queen's Commonwealth Trust.

She flew solo for the occasion, leaving baby Archie and Prince Harry at home, and watched on as young leaders from across the world spoke and celebrated at the opening ceremony.

Meghan wore a vibrant dress for the celebration, a purple midi number by Babaton for Aritzia, which she teamed with blue suede courts by Manolo Blahnik.

The Duchess has actually worn the dress before, back in January when she was still pregnant with Archie, during a visit of Birkenhead at Hamilton Square with Prince Harry. At the time, she clashed it beautifully with a red coat.

This is the second time she's reworn an outfit, proving she practices circular fashion just like Kate Middleton. Earlier this month, she attended the WellChilds awards in the same green dress she wore to announce her engagement.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
