Meghan Markle has mastered the art of texting with her style, and the dress she chose for her and Prince Harry’s bomb interview with Oprah Winfrey didn’t disappoint.
For the intimate session, which aired Sunday night on CBS, the Duchess of Sussex, 39, wore a $ 4,700 Armani dress adorned with a lotus flower print.
A Markle spokesman told Town & Country that the design was chosen specifically for symbolic purposes.
Associated for a long time with rebirth and spiritual enlightenment, the hardy lotus can “flourish despite seemingly difficult conditions,” a fitting option for an interview in which the duchess spoke of her “almost unsustainable” time as a member of the royal family.
In addition to accentuating Markle’s bulge at the waist with a belt, the Armani suit also served to tie her to her new home on the west coast. Once christened by The Telegraph as “the man who invented the red carpet dress,” Giorgio Armani helped create the concept of dressing Hollywood stars for important events and has dressed up as A lists like Cate Blanchett, Julia Roberts, Beyoncé and countless others over the years. .
Similarly, Markle was complemented with jewelry from Canadian brand Birks and British designer Pippa Small, with subtle gestures to two countries she has called home.
But perhaps the most striking addition to the Duchess’s ensemble was Princess Diana’s diamond tennis bracelet. “They wanted to wear the bracelet to have it [Harry’s] mother there with them during the interview, “a Markle spokesman told the” Today “series.
During Sussex’s chat with Winfrey, Prince Harry, 36, said his late mother would feel “angry” and “sad” at the way her relationship with the royal family dissolved, and she add, “All she would ever want was for you to be happy.”
For his part, the Duke of Sussex chose a look with a special tie for the couple’s son, Archie: the same light gray J. Crew dress he wore for the baby’s public debut in May 2019 and also for his baptism.
