Meghan Markle Makes Her Biggest US Fashion Statement at Custom Vuitton

Meghan Markle attended the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award Gala in New York City on Tuesday night in what may be her biggest fashion statement since moving to the United States with husband Prince Harry in 2020. While speaking at the event, even Harry acknowledged the couple it hasn’t come out much and much in America. We rarely go out, because our children are still very small and young, so this was completely unexpected, he said notified crowd.

Markles looks to more than live up to the occasion. She wore an elegant white cocktail dress made for her by Louis Vuitton creative director Nicolas Ghesquire. It stays with the established Markles style of subdued elegance. Adorned with sheer jewelery, black heels and a simple clutch, this all-white gown featured an off-the-shoulder neckline that folded across the bodice, with long sleeves and a modest slit down the front.

The choice of label also helps strengthen the Duchess’ independence. While Princess Diana first spotted With toiletry boxes in Vuitton’s trademark monogrammed canvas, the brand didn’t begin producing ready-to-wear until 1997, and it’s rarely worn by members of the royal family (given that, considering the brand is very, very French while the family is, well, British).

The couple attended the event to recognize their Archewell Foundation’s work in the fields of racial justice and mental health.

His appearance is also hot after the release of the trailer for their upcoming Netflix documentary series, Harry & Meghan. Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Liz Garbus, the series promises to tell the deep story of the couple’s courtship, and their eventual decision to step back from their duties as senior members of the royal family. Set to be released in two batches, the first episode will drop tomorrow. The couple apparently didn’t have much traditional promotion for the series planned, and the gala was the only publicly announced stop on their trip to NYC. So a Vuitton gown is probably the closest to an official premiere red carpet. It more than does its job.
