Meghan Markle Wore a Dreamy Gown to Celebrate the NAACP Awards With Her Mom

The 53rd NAACP Image Awards were held in Los Angeles last night, and plenty of big names were on hand to honor the winners. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry received the President's Award in recognition of their public service, while nominees for the Entertainer of the Year Award included Lil Nas X, Jennifer Hudson, Megan Thee Stallion, Regina King, and Tiffany Haddish. 

"We're thrilled to present this award to Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who together have heeded the call to social justice and have joined the struggle for equity both in the U.S. and around the world," said Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP. "Not only do they continue to lead by example, the Duke and Duchess have also decided to inspire the next generation of activists through the NAACP-Archewell Digital Civil Rights Award, ensuring the support and recognition of generations of civil rights leaders to come."

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
