Meghan Markle’s appearance at The Lion King premiere was nothing short of amazing, and honestly, we’re still not over it.

For the star-studded event, Prince Harry’s wife opted for a beautiful semi-sheer Jason Wu dress ($4,924) and a pair of matching Aquazzura heels ($950) – one of her favorite shoes.

The Nikos Koulis Oui Oui Diamond and Black Enamel Octagonal Stud earrings ($12,204) are found at Neiman Marcus and feature a unique detail thanks to the removable black enamel casing. The Duchess first wore the sparkly pair to Trooping the Colour in 2019 sans the black border, leaving a beautiful emerald-cut diamond. Archie Harrison’s mom wore her hair slicked back in a sleek chignon which allowed her earrings to take on a full sparkly effect. Beauty-wise her makeup looked radiant and natural as she wore bronzey makeup and her go-to nude lip.
