Oscar de la Renta bird dress
If ever there was a stunning dress that divided people, it would have to be the Oscar de la Renta gown that Meghan Markle wore to the Australian Geographic Society Awards. We say this dress divided people because on Twitter, there were plenty of people who chimed in saying they were less than impressed with all the birds on the dress. However, we actually love this dress because of how whimsical it is thanks to all of those birds and the tulle that gives it such a full look.
As Cosmopolitan pointed out, the dress is a true princess moment for the Duchess, as it is a departure from her typical looks — which are much more simplistic in nature. Not just that, but we definitely think with everything going on with this look, it is hard to remember that she is pregnant (although it is hard to actually forget).
And while her dress stole the show, we love that she paired the dress with slingback heels in black that she has worn more than once from Aquazzura. Of course, her sleek and elegant hair completed the look perfectly.
Instead of adding anything extra to the look, Meghan Markle allowed the dress to be the star of the show, although the duchess herself was clearly the star.
