On Saturday evening, the Duchess of Sussex attended the 2024 Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Gala at The Event Deck at L.A. LIVE.
Meghan arrived at the event alongside her longtime friend, Kelly McKee Zajfen.
The CHLA Gala celebrates the courage of young patients and honors the exceptional physicians, researchers, and caregivers dedicated to creating hope and building healthier futures for children. The event typically features a dinner, live entertainment, and a silent auction. As a major fundraiser for the hospital, proceeds directly support its mission of delivering the highest quality care to children in need.
The Duchess looked resplendent in her red Carolina Herrera Plunge Neck Silk-Faille Gown.
She first wore the gown with the detachable overskirt in November 2021 for the Salute to Freedom Gala.
Tonight, she complemented the slimmed-down version of the dress with a new pair of Aquazzura ‘So Nude’ 105 Sandals in Lipstick Red ($825).
For jewelry, Meghan completed her look with a Cartier Love bangle and a Lorraine Schwartz emerald-cut diamond pinky ring.
