A stylist has revealed the reason why Meghan Markle loves red: the best looks of the Duchess that are impossible to tear yourself away from
Despite the fact that the Duchess of Sussex often chooses beige, when she wants to diversify her look with a bright color, she prefers red. Meghan Markle regularly appears in public in glamorous dresses, bright accessories, and bold monochromatic outfits in this expressive shade, clearly emphasizing that this is her favorite color.
Red has a special meaning, which perhaps the former actress also wants to convey. Kate Jones, stylist at House of Color, told the Daily Mail: "Red traditionally represents power, luxury, passion and love. It tells the audience that you are a confident person who is not afraid to be noticed." "Meghan would also pay attention to this color because it represents strength and courage - characteristics that I think she wants to demonstrate," the expert added.
Dress with a train
"Red is a color that suits absolutely any skin tone, but many people are embarrassed to wear it," says Kate. "This shade 'illuminates' the Duchess's skin, helping it to sparkle and shine." This may explain why Markle recently decided to wear her Carolina Herrera silk dress worth more than $6,600 again at a charity event in Los Angeles.
She debuted this dress during a public appearance in New York in 2021, which she attended with Prince Harry. However, for her recent appearance, Meghan removed the top skirt, leaving the silhouette on the figure.
Discreet perfection
The previous look was surpassed by Meghan's appearance at the Mountbatten Music Festival in 2020, when she wowed the audience in a red Safiyaa dress worth $1650. The dress had a raised collar, a cape on the shoulders and a drape on the back.
Combined with accessories by Manolo Blahnik, it was one of the Duchess's best outfits. Kate said: "It's worth noting that the effect of red on Meghan is particularly striking because she is often seen in neutral colors such as black, navy, beige and cream. Therefore, when she wears red, we can assume that she is making a concerted effort to be noticed."
Bright suit
During the One Young World Summit in Manchester in 2022, Prince Harry's wife radiated confidence in a $1255 suit. The highlight of her ensemble was a translucent blouse with a detachable scarf, which she elegantly threw over one shoulder. Markle completed the look with heels in a matching shade, adding a touch of contrast with massive gold jewelry.
Queen-style coat
During a visit to Birkenhead in Merseyside in January 2019, Meghan made a bold statement by wearing a red wool coat for $1,450. She added red stilettos to the look, and her hair was styled in a chignon.
The Duchess was clearly trying to make a statement, perhaps inspired by the example of Queen Elizabeth II, who was known to dress in red to be visible to the audience when attending events. "Red is a color that makes you stand out from the crowd-something Meghan would have loved," Kate said.
Ruffled Lady
Meghan was in the spotlight at the Women in Leadership event in Nigeria this spring, which probably influenced her choice of a brightly colored dress by a Nigerian designer. Made of heavy crepe, the dress costing $337 had a strapless neckline and ruffles on the hem, which created a feminine look.
Wearing red, Meghan conveyed a sense of strength and power while addressing the audience. This time, she let the dress become the center of attention, pairing it with sandals and diamond jewelry.
Crimson patterns
Meghan attracted attention when she arrived in Tonga in October 2018 in a modest, tight-fitting dress with intricate embroidery, a cinched waist, and a pleated midi skirt for $480. Markle complemented her ensemble with custom-made Manolo Blahnik heels, a Dior clutch and delicate jewelry.
Elegant clothes of the expectant mother
During her royal visit to Morocco in February 2019, Meghan showed off a custom-made Valentino dress. The trapezoidal cut of the dress perfectly fitted her tummy, and the cape had embroidery that swirled along the entire length. The color of the dress may have symbolized the passion and love associated with her first trip while pregnant. She added nude accessories, including a Valentino clutch and shoes.
Back to the roots
Meghan has long been in love with the bright shade of scarlet red. Back in 2006, during her appearance on the American version of the television game show Deal Or No Deal, she wore a mini-dress in this particular shade. Although her style has evolved considerably since her days as an actress, Markle's continued affection for the color red demonstrates her fashion sense.
