Duchess Meghan can make even Bermuda shorts look chic.
The duchess attended Prince Harry's latest polo match at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club yesterday, cheering on her husband and engaging in some PDA. Eschewing a traditional dress code, Meghan wore a long-sleeved, tie-front blouse in a black-and-white polka-dot print by CELINE by Hedi Slimane, with a pair of loose white shorts styled with a black belt, both from one of her favored brands, Khaite.
She finished the look with a pair of black Aquazzura pumps, which she previously wore for a royal engagement at New Zealand House, and a black wide-brim hat.

Harry played in the match as part of the Los Padres team, which is run by his longtime friend, Argentine polo star Nacho Figueras. The team took home the Lisle Nixon Memorial trophy, along with individual prizes that Meghan presented.
During the prize ceremony, Meghan gave Harry a sweet kiss, smiling as she wiped some transferred lipstick off his mouth.

The royal couple have been pretty low-key since last month's Invictus Games, where the duchess wore several chic, elevated casual looks (she also wore a stunning all-white Valentino suit to the opening event).
They will soon make another trip to Europe, as they're set to return to the United Kingdom for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations next month. The trip will mark the first time the pair have publicly returned to the U.K. since stepping back as senior members of the royal family in early 2020. Their children will also attend the celebrations, with three-year-old Archie returning to the country of his birth and 11-month-old Lilibet visiting for the first time.
