The 37-year-old wowed in a sweet mod mini dress from affordable British brand REISS. She paired the black-and-white number with a blazer by Alexander McQueen (one of Duchess Kate's favourite designers!), anchoring the look with her black suede Manolo Blahnik BB pumps and her favourite Stella McCartney clutch – the Shaggy Deer Faux Leather Crossbody. Of particular note was Meghan's brooch, fixed with the symbol for the Queen's Commonwealth Trust. <p>Photo: &copy; Samir Hussein/Samir Hussein/WireImage

Meghan showed off her winning smile during the talk. At one point, she asked: “If things are wrong and there is a lack of justice and an inequality, someone needs to say something — and why can’t it be you?” <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
A statement from Kensington Palace said the panel would cover “obstacles [that] still affect female empowerment across the world, including access to education and limitations within employment." <p>Photo: &copy; DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS/AFP/Getty Images
