Meghan Markle just wore her most rule-breaking outfit yet

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended a special charity performance of Hamilton yesterday (which is rumoured to be her favourite musical FYI), and the Duchess wore her most daring dress yet.
I say daring, because it technically broke the royal fashion etiquette rules - which to be fair is a little strict. Meghan chose a black tuxedo mini dress by Canadian label Judith & Charles.
As you might have guessed, the reason it's a bold move for the Duchess is due to its length. You'll have noticed that Kate Middleton always wears kneel-length, midi or maxi dresses, and that's because the Queen prefers it. She is apparently not a fan of dresses that are above the knee.
Nonetheless, I think it's the perfect date night outfit, it's smart, and she accessorised it very nicely with some suede pumps.
It's about time those fashion rules were broken a little.
