Meghan Markle mastered the art of texting with her style, and the outfit she chose for herself and Prince Harry’s bomb interview with Oprah Winfrey did not disappoint.
For the intimate meeting, broadcast on Sunday evening on CBS, the 39-year-old Duchess of Sussex wore a $ 4,700 Armani dress, adorned with a lotus flower print.
A Markle spokesman told Town & Country that the design was specifically chosen for symbolic purposes.
Long associated with rebirth and spiritual enlightenment, the hardy lotus can “flourish despite seemingly difficult conditions” – a fitting choice for an interview in which the duchess spoke of her “almost inanimate” time as a member of the royal family.
In addition to accentuating Markle’s baby’s swollen waistband, the Armani dress also served to tie her to her new home on the west coast. Nicknamed “the man who invented the red carpet dressing” by The Telegraph, Giorgio Armani helped create the concept of equipping Hollywood stars for major events and dressed A-listers, including Cate Blanchett, Julia Roberts, Beyoncé and countless others over the years. .
Similarly, Markle accessorized with jewelry from the Canadian brand Birks and the British designer Pippa Small, making a subtle sign to two countries that he named at home.
But perhaps the most attractive addition to the Duchess’s ensemble was Princess Diana’s diamond tennis bracelet. “They wanted to wear the bracelet [Harry’s] mother there with them during the interview, “a spokesman for Markle told Today.
During the discussion between Sussex and Winfrey, Prince Harry, 36, said his late mother would feel “upset” and “sad” about how their relationship with the royal family had dissolved, adding: “All he ever wants is for us to be happy.”
In turn, the Duke of Sussex chose a look with a special tie for the couple’s son, Archie: the same light gray J.Crew suit he wore for the baby’s public debut in May 2019, as well as for his baptism.
