Meghan Markle Channels Rachel Zane For 1st Royal Evening Affair With Harry

Talk about a blast from the past.

You can leave the acting behind, but sometimes the acting can't leave you.

Take Meghan Markle, for example. On Thursday, the former actress channeled her "Suits" character Rachel Zane for her first official evening engagement with fiancé Prince Harry.

Just look at her rocking the sh*t out of that tailored black Alexander McQueen pantsuit, ivory silk Tuxe Bodywear bodysuit and black pumps.

She'd do Rachel Zane proud, eh?

The couple attended the annual Endeavour Fund Awards in London, an event which, according to The Telegraph, celebrates "the achievements of wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women who have taken part in remarkable sporting and adventure challenges over the last year."

Harry, for his part, complemented his fiancée's ensemble with his own suit — in navy blue.

The evening affair was a natural fit for the prince and Markle's agenda. After all, Harry was integral to the creation of The Invictus Games, a sporting event for injured, ill, and wounded servicemen and women and veterans.

Ahead of the awards ceremony, the couple met with the nominees, as well as participants and supporters of the Endeavour Fund, which was founded in 2012 by the Royal Foundation and run by Prince William, Harry and the Duchess of Cambridge. It's expected that Markle will also be a member of the foundation after she and Harry wed on May 19.

Guess we have to wait a little bit longer to see her in an evening gown! (And no, those engagement photos don't count.)
