Back in April 2018, just before the royal wedding, Meghan Markle attended a reception for Women's Empowerment at the Royal Aeronautical Society in central London, on the fourth day of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.

For the occasion, she wore a simple black dress which featured a draped neckline and elegant belt.

Dubbed the 'Jackie O' dress thanks to its timeless design, it is a favourite amongst celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Blake Lively, who both have it in white, Tyra Banks, who wore a camel version, and Katherine Heigl, who wore it in cobalt blue.

Britney Spears, Scarlett Johansson and Fergie are just a few more celebrities who have worn the style by Black Halo, which has been a best selling for the brand since the early 00s.

The dress, which comes in blue, red, black and white is now on sale at Saks Fifth Avenue (they ship to the UK), for £227.30 instead of £324.72, which granted, isn't cheap, but this is clearly a dress that stands the test of time given it's been around for over a decade.

Meghan wore hers with black suede pumps at the time, and it certainly makes for the perfect work outfit - well we're allowed back in the office that is.

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.
