Meghan Markle is Prince Harry’s number one fan.
The Duchess of Sussex rooted for her husband when he participated in the Royal Salute Polo Challenge at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Florida on April 12. While she watched Prince Harry’s team take home victory beside pal Serena Williams, Meghan wore a flowy midi dress with a halter neckline and one flirty detail practical for spring and summer: cutouts.
Cutouts help accentuate a dress’ shape and add a cooling element, allowing more of your skin to breathe.
We rounded up cutout dresses inspired by Meghan from Amazon, Nordstrom, Banana Republic, and more — prices start at $36.
