Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is attending the 2026 Fifteen Percent Pledge Fundraising Gala.

The event took place on February 7, 2026, at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. It was held during Black History Month to honor Tina Knowles for her advocacy and to support the 15% Pledge, an organization that encourages retailers to dedicate 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses.

For the occasion, Meghan leaned into "Old Hollywood" glamour with the following ensemble:

Gown: A custom oyster-colored strapless column gown by Harbison Studio, featuring black piping at the sweetheart neckline.

Accessories: A dramatic black velvet and silk shawl with a long train, paired with Stuart Weitzman "Nudist" sandals.

Jewelry: Statement black diamond drop earrings and a large index finger ring.

"“I had a few data points for me in terms of, I want something that looks like royalty, that also has some infusion of tech, and also pays homage to my background, being Nigerian,” Imah says. “But then outside of that, it’s up to Charles to really express his creativity.” ... On top of the shirt, Imah wore a gold-encrusted gilet, also known as a waistcoat, that Harbison says he wanted to look like a bulletproof vest." "The ensemble features a Matrix gold-encrusted vest that subtly references technological circuitry—drawing inspiration from motherboard compositions while maintaining the hand-crafted artistry central to Harbison's work. Robotic gloves extend this narrative, creating a considered interplay between the human form and engineered intelligence. The result is a look that feels both archival and futuristic—part ceremonial dress, part AI-era couture—evoking timeless form while introducing a forward-facing perspective on identity and technology."
