Prince Harry and Meghan Markle looked every bit of royalty in NYC Wednesday evening at the 2021 Salute to Freedom gala.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at the Intrepid Museum in red carpet style: Harry sported a Giorgio Armani tuxedo pinned with four medals with a bow tie and the cross for Knight Commander of Royal Victorian Order around his neck. Meghan wore a gorgeous red gown designed by Carolina Herrera creative director Wes Gordon with coordinating heels by Giuseppe Zanotti. Both accessorized their looks with a red poppy, the symbol used since 1921 to commemorate military members who have died in war. 

According to PEOPLE, Prince Harry, who served in the British army for 10 years, presented the inaugural Intrepid Valor Awards to five service members, veterans and military families living with the invisible wounds of war.

This is the couples first red carpet event in over a year.
