Commanding attention she paired the dress with platform chunky lace up heels and a black top hat adorned with a feather.
She completed the look with a dramatic pearl necklace as she sipped tea before attempting to offer some to a Royal Guard.
Fergie filmed a reworked version of the track last week in a high-energy scene alongside Megan, complete with dancers, cameras, and sunrise backdrops.
The duo reunited this week for a sleek promotional shoot, with Fergie channeling full Spice Girl energy in the patriotic mini-dress that had onlookers doing double takes.
Megan, 33, who plays New Yorker Jessica starting over in London, looked every bit the comedy It-girl as she posed alongside the former Black Eyed Peas frontwoman.
Too Much - which also stars Will Sharpe, Emily Ratajkowski, Naomi Watts, and Stephen Fry - lands on Netflix July 10.
'There, she meets Felix (Will Sharpe). The pair build a connection that surprises Jessica… but is impossible to ignore,' the synopsis teases.
It comes after producer Lena explained why she cast Megan instead of herself in her semi-autobiographical 10-episode comedy series.

'I was not willing to have another experience like what I'd experienced around [my HBO series Girls] at this point in my life,' the Treasure producer-star explained to the New Yorker last July.
'Physically, I was just not up for having my body dissected again. It was a hard choice, not to cast Meg - because I knew I wanted Meg - but to admit that to myself. I used to think that winning meant you just keep doing it and you don't care what anybody thinks. I forgot that winning is actually just protecting yourself and doing what you need to do to keep making work.'
Lena continued: 'I remember looking at Meg and being, like, "You are my muse. You inspire me every single day to go home and tap out pages upon pages." I definitely don't want to be my own muse.'
'It's not a huge leap. But I knew from the very beginning I would not be the star of it,' Lena noted.
'I was thinking a lot about, like, What is it that allows women to be complicated on TV and still be embraced and seen and understood? There's an openness to Meg's presence that I think goes a long way. She has whatever the opposite of resting bitch face is. She has resting angel face.'
She continued: 'Meg is one of the beautiful women working today. She is so alarmingly gorgeous. The fact that she is not a size 0, or that she's not part of the new class of Ozempic-thin women, is not part of it...It's really important to me that there be a love affair between a guy and a girl where the fact that she is not teensy-weensy doesn't drive it...We were, like, "We don't want anyone to think we're doing a show about a beautiful man doing someone a favor."'
However, the star does have a small acting part in Too Much as the spouse of the character played by Andrew Rannells, who previously played her Girls character Hannah Horvath's gay best friend Elijah.
'I'm in the show! I think I just accidentally revealed that,' Lena confirmed. But it's a smaller part. Not a walk-on, but it's not a lead.'

Couple discover nursery picture of them sitting next to each other seven years after falling in love
When electrical engineer Micheal Moore dropped his crush Ashleigh a message on Instagram in 2018, he was hoping for a chance to meet-up. Luckily for him, Ashleigh instantly replied, and the pair, both from Runcorn in Cheshire, hit it off. Within a few years they were married with a son. But incredibly the couple's love story started decades before, unbeknownst to them. The couple, now both 26, actually attended the same nursery and even sat next to one another in a class photo - something they didn't discover until seven years after they got together. In a nursery school picture that had been gathering dust in a box at Ashleigh's parents' home, the couple spotted two familiar faces staring back at them. 'It wasn't until we were moving out and sorting through pictures at our parents' house that we found the picture and realised we were sitting next to each other. 'We couldn't believe it. It was a lovely feeling to know that we've been a part of each other's lives for so long.' Ashleigh, a stay at home mother to the couple's three-year-old son, Alfie, shared the image on TikTok where it has been viewed almost 800,000 times and received more than 400 comments. She is expecting baby number two this July and their families could not be happier that they ended up together. 'Our family and friends absolutely love that we ended up together and call us childhood sweethearts. 'We had a brief relationship in secondary school at the age of 13 for a few months but remained close friends as we were in the same lessons. 'We left secondary school at the age of 16 in 2015. 'Michael went to Chester to do an apprenticeship and I went to sixth form so we lost contact. 'It wasn't until 2018 that we got back in contact through Instagram.' The cute photo that Ashleigh shared online received adoring comments from viewers - and even led to others sharing their own stories. One person said: 'Love how you both have the same expression on your face. So cute. Congratulations.' A second viewer said: 'Oh I love a happy ending. I married my childhood sweetheart who lived six doors from me. Boyfriend and girlfriend since age nine and still together both age 62 now. 'This is me with my husband too. Our nursery photo together was handed round our wedding during my dads speech,' added Shannon. Another person said: 'Currently looking at who's sat next to my children in their pictures and wondering if any will be their future spouse.' 'Wow. That is the cutest thing I've seen today, fair play,' added a fifth viewer. It comes after another couple lucky enough to rekindle a decade-old relationship - albeit one with a very different beginning - were UK-based Zoe and Michael. Club promoter Zoe, who fell in love on holiday, restarted her relationship and ultimately got married to her fling – 10 years after they first met each other. The 33-year-old was working in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, giving out shots, when she met Michael, also 33, who was on a lads holiday in 2012. The pair enjoyed a sparky holiday romance, meeting several times during Michael's trip. Zoe even made a passing comment to a friend about Michael – claiming she had met the man she'll 'marry one day'. Michael returned to Leeds, Yorkshire, after a week, while Zoe flew back to the UK a few months later to start a course at the University in Bournemouth, Dorset. Five years later, Zoe sent a drunken message to Michael and, to her surprise, the connection was 'still there'. The pair resumed their romance and Zoe left her job as an Emirates air steward, moving to Leeds to be with Michael. They went on tie the knot in May 2022, 10 years after they first met on holiday, and recently welcomed their firstborn, son Leo, in February 2023. Zoe, a content creator, from Leeds, Yorkshire, said: 'When I met Michael, I remember saying to my friend, "I've met the man I'm going to marry." 'During that holiday, he said the same thing to his mates about me. 'I never in a million years imagined I'd actually marry him 10 years later. 'Despite losing contact, the connection was still there. 'It's not all been plain sailing, but I'm so glad I followed my heart.' Zoe was working as a promoter in Cyprus during the summer of 2012, while taking a gap year before starting university. Michael was on a lads holiday when he first crossed paths with Zoe. She said: 'We met when I was encouraging them to come in for shots. 'I don't remember what we spoke about, but I remember how he made me feel. 'There was an immediate connection, and I had this gut feeling about us.' During Michael's week-long trip, they met up several times for dates on the Island. They exchanged numbers and continued messaging when Michael returned home a week later. Zoe flew back to the UK in September 2012, ready to start university. She said: 'We were both in very different places in life. 'He was focused on his career, and I was about to start my course. 'We ended up drifting apart, but we kept liking each other's photos on Facebook.' Five years later, in 2019, Zoe had just gone through a break-up when she met with a friend. They started discussing past relationship, and her friend reminded her of 'Michael from holiday'. 'We had a few bottles of wine, and I looked him up online,' she said. 'He had two children but was also single. 'I genuinely wasn't expecting anything to come from it, but I sent a drunk message to see how he was doing. 'It was like no time had passed. 'We immediately hit it off again.' Zoe, who was working as an air steward at the time, ended up leaving her job and moving to Yorkshire to live with Michael in 2020. The pair were hit with lockdown but despite the difficult circumstances, they made it work. She said: 'It was definitely tough at times - I moved my entire life there. 'I never expected to become a stepmum. 'But we took it all slowly, and the kids were so welcoming. 'Through all of it, Michael was so loving and supportive. I knew I had made the right decision.' During a trip to Greece in September 2020, Michael proposed to Zoe and they started planning the wedding. They tied the knot two years later in Athens, Greece, in May 2022, with 55 close family and friends. 'We met near Greece, so it's always been very special to us,' she said. 'The proposal was perfect, and it really cemented my feelings that I'd made the right decision. 'It was such a magical wedding.' In 2023, the couple were overjoyed to welcome their son Leo, 20-months-old. Zoe said: 'We've got through difficult times, but throughout all of it I've had Michael by my side. 'Things might not always be the fairytale you envision, but if put in the work it could be so much better.'

What happens if no one wins £208m Euromillions jackpot?
Friday's Euromillions lottery draw could see a lucky member of the public take home the largest prize ever awarded in the UK. At £208million, anyone winning the National Lottery 's jackpot would be instantly richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Adele. While the ticket holding the keys to the hefty sum hasn't been played, ticket-holders are still being urged to check their numbers to see if they have won any of the smaller prizes on offer. What happens if no one wins? With the total prize money now capped, Friday is the final chance before a 'Must Be Won' draw is triggered, meaning the money has to be given away that night. This means that all the prize money will be awarded even if no players match all five numbers and both Lucky Stars. The prize will work in the same way as a standard draw, but if no one picks the winning ticket, it will roll down to the next tier. This means that anyone who matches five numbers and one Lucky Star will be able to get their hands on the life-changing prize money. If there are no winners in this tier, the prize money will roll down to the category below. What have the National Lottery said? Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, said: 'This Friday EuroMillions gets even bigger. 'Not only will we see the £208 million EuroMillions jackpot up for grabs – which would make the biggest-ever National Lottery winner – but there will also be an incredible 13 guaranteed UK millionaires made through EuroMillions Millionaire Maker. 'That's a not-so-unlucky Friday 13th for the lucky ticket-holders who end up bagging these life-changing prizes. 'Get your tickets early to ensure you'll be in with a chance of a massive life-changing win.' He added: 'The EuroMillions jackpot is now capped, so any money that would have gone into increasing the jackpot now boosts prizes in the next winning prize tier, meaning that we could see multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.' Has this happened before? After the jackpot was increased to a €200 million in February 2020, it was stipulated that the prize could stay at its maximum value for four draws before a Must Be Won draw would take place. Prior to that, the original rules had said the jackpot could be rolled 11 times, before a series of changes between 2016 and 2020, as the cap gradually increased. In October 2019, a UK player managed to match all the numbers to win £170m after the jackpot had rolled over four times. Similar rollovers occurred twice in 2006, when the jackpot had to be won after 11 consecutive draws which saw no winners. In one case, three players split the share of the jackpot to win £42m each, while in the second case, 20 players ended up winning £6.7m each. The last major Euromillions win came in July 2022, when an anonymous UK ticket holder bagged the existing record of £195m.
