Meghan and Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made a rare public appearance at the 2024 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday evening.

The couple took their seats for the award show at the Dolby Theatre, for which Meghan's close friend, Serena Williams, was the night's host. The trio even posed together for pictures on the red carpet.

Meghan looked effortlessly elegant in a white Staud gown with a draped halter neckline, a backless cut, and a floor-sweeping hemline. She kept her accessories to a minimum, simply adding diamond stud earrings, her signature gold Cartier bracelet, and a few gold diamond-encrusted rings. Finally, she finished off the look with strappy black heels. Beauty-wise, she opted for a natural glam and swept her black hair up into a sleek, centre-parted bun.

Sporting star Serena Williams looked just as glamorous in her own halterneck gown, though she took a more sparkly route; her dress was nearly entirely covered in reflective maroon scales. The skirt additionally featured wine-coloured fringe enmeshed with the scales.

Williams and Markle have long held a close friendship with each other over the years. Back in 2022, the tennis champion sat down with the duchess for the debut episode of her podcast, Archetypes.

“She couldn’t be a better friend to me. Low moments, high moments, she’s always there, and that’s all I want to be to her,” the athlete previously said of Meghan at a 2019 press conference.
