In a delightful twist of events, Harry and Meghan made a special appearance at the premiere of the highly-anticipated Bob Marley biopic, “Bob Marley: One Love,” in Kingston, Jamaica. The film stars Kingsley Ben-Adir as the legendary Bob Marley and Lashana Lynch as his wife, Rita, and had its premiere in Jamaica ahead of its theatrical release on February 14.
The couple shown below on the red carpet with the CEO of Paramount Pictures, Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy James.
The marks Meghan’s first public appearance of 2024, while Prince Harry, who attended an awards show for “Legends of Aviation” in Beverly Hills over the past weekend, graced the premiere as his second public appearance of the year.
From Entertainment Tonight, a clip of the couple walking into the theatre.

For the occasion, Meghan donned an elegant black maxi dress paired with statement earrings, exuding grace and sophistication. Harry opted for a more casual look, sporting a suit without a tie. The premiere unfolded at the Carib 5 theatre in Cross Roads, St. Andrew, Jamaica, with the royal couple joined by the film’s stars and notable Jamaican figures, including Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Bob Marley’s son, Ziggy Marley.
This marks the second trip to Jamaica for the royal couple, with their first visit dating back to 2017 when they attended the wedding of Harry’s friend, Tom Inskip. During their previous stay, they enjoyed the hospitality of the iconic Round Hill resort in Montego Bay.
Harry, too, has a history with the country, having visited as part of a Diamond Jubilee royal tour in 2012.

The royal couple’s presence at the Bob Marley biopic premiere not only adds a touch of regal charm to the event but also reinforces their connection with Jamaica and their appreciation for its rich cultural tapestry. As they continue to make meaningful appearances and support cultural endeavors, Harry and Meghan leave an indelible mark on the global stage.
Our look at what Meghan wore for this evening’s event. Meghan appears to be wearing a skirt and possibly a bodysuit.
UPDATE 1/24: Carolina Herrera has confirmed via Instagram that Meghan is wearing their skirt. We’re unsure if they are also confirming that her top/bodysuit is also their design.
You may recall Meghan wore a red Carolina Herrera ball gown in November 2021 for the The Intrepid Museum’s Salute to Freedom Gala in New York City. The skirt could be an older style from 2022 – we show two styles below along with Meghan in the red ball gown.
We share these affordable options for her skirt below.
Dillards pocket ball gown, $119 / Amazon pocket satin ball gown skirt, $39 / Pinko taffeta skirt, $498
We’re thinking she is wearing a bodysuit with spighetti straps in black. We show a few options below including affordable “get the look” styles.
Skims Cami Bodysuit, $29 / Quince Second Skin Scoop Neck Cami Bodysuit, $29 / Reformation ‘Harley’ top, $98 / Old Navy bodysuit, $15
Her clutch looks like it could be her Jimmy Choo ‘J Box’ clutch in black and gold. She first carried the clutch for ANZAC Day, London, April 2018.
Here are a few dupes for less —
Amazon, $17 / Olga Berg black clutch, $95
The Duchess’ earrings could be the Jennifer Meyer large hammered disc earrings in gold, $3250. The earrings measure 1.5 inches in diameter.
There are a number of affordable large gold disc earrings on Etsy. We show a few options below.
Jen Wofford – Etsy, 1.5″ diameter $24 / Allie Cherie – Etsy, 1.5″ diameter, $35
The only other jewelry Meghan wore was her Cartier ‘Love’ bracelet and Lorraine Schwartz emerald cut pinky ring. It also looks like she wore her diamond engagement ring with her wedding bands.
Bonus! Meghan’s nails were done in a french manicure! Get the look with polish from Olive & June – the classic french press-on nails, $10 or their CCT sheer pink poish, $9 and HD white polish, $9.
Understated glamour. I love the voluptuous skirt and the simple perfection of the top and accessories. This look is so Meghan and so appropriate for the occasion. Thank you Susan for your well observed piece. I am curious about the clutch, I haven’t seen a clear shot of it.
The skirt is too long and very frumpy.
The look would be nice at a different occasion, but is totally over the top for this occasion. Real miss for MM.
Agree with all you say Fabienne. Wrong outfit for the occasion. Besides the skirt being too long, the top part was too casual to go with the skirt. The two blacks also had a different sheen.. More and more Meghan is not getting it right.
Oh my gosh I completely agree. Her clothes are so often too big, too long, too tight and/or she often over dresses for the event. Please find a good tailor and Google the events you are attending so that you can dress for that event.
Well said, agree with you.
It’s looking nice this charming couple shining without effort, while they seem so genuine and authentic.
Love the look and the occasion!
I’m so excited to finally see her this year. I love the frothy skirt paired with the stretchy minimalist top. Those teeny spaghetti straps are everything. Are the earrings new? I love the big golder-than-gold earrings. Perfect for Jamaica. What could be better than M and H and fans of Marley?
Hi Allison – yes the earrings are new – Thanks, Susan
Thanks Susan. They both look great. We fans appreciate your coverage.
Awww thanks Maureen! Appreciate your kind words. Susan
I love this glamorous yet laid back look!! Hard to pull off high glamour with a relaxed, unstuffy vibe. Of course, Meghan does this brilliantly. The voluminous skirt with minimalist top is just perfection.
Wonderful to see them both looking so glowing and happy.
I agree with you. I like her way of styling both the relaxed and the chic. It really works for her.
It’s nice to see this charming couple shining without effort, while they seem so genuine and authentic.
Thanks for the coverage! She looks fabulous.
She looks beautiful! I like the volume of her skirt
