She accessorized the look with black earrings and Stuart Weitzman black suede heels.

The Fifteen Percent Pledge, which was founded by Aurora James, is a non-profit organization that encourages retailers to commit at least 15 percent of their shelf space and revenue to black-owned businesses.

Beyonce’s mom Tina Knowles was honored at the annual event for her advocacy for the community.

Chloe Bailey, Kimora Lee Simmons and Winnie Harlow were among the guests in attendance at the gala, which was held at Paramount Studios.

Prince Harry did not accompany Markle to the event, though just days earlier, the As Ever founder posted a video of her husband as she brought him sweet treats as he worked in his office.

The video was promoting her latest As Ever collaboration with Compartés Chocolates, which includes her brand’s signature raspberry and strawberry spreads along with a collection of chocolate treats.

As part of the collab, she posted a photo of herself wearing a familiar-looking navy Roland Mouret dress from when she was a working member of the royal family.

Markle previously wore the elegant strapless midi in November 2018, when she and her husband, Prince Harry, attended the Royal Foundation Dinner at Kensington Palace.

Markle and Harry were last spotted together at Sundance Film Festival in Utah last month for the premiere of their documentary “Cookie Queens.”

Page Six Hollywood exclusively reported the pair appeared “guarded” during the event and Harry, 41, only “wanted to talk about was his Daily Mail trial.”

Last month, Harry testified that wife Markle’s royal life was “absolute misery” during his trial against the UK tabloid.
