In the world of high fashion, few names resonate like Oscar de la Renta, and it was this iconic brand that Meghan Markle turned to for her mother, Doria Ragland’s, elegant look at her 2019 wedding.
The Duchess of Sussex, now 41, has been spotted in various pieces from the label on multiple occasions, including a stunning pre-fall 2018 scribble dress during her Australian tour and a vibrant lemon print dress worth $3,490 at Spotify’s Stream On event in February 2021.
Recently, Oscar de la Renta unveiled their Fall 2023 collection, which is teeming with inspirations drawn from nature and the art of dressing up.
However, a curious trend has emerged among fashion enthusiasts.
It seems that any items previously worn by Meghan have mysteriously vanished from the market.
According to sources, this phenomenon stems from a belief that her association with these outfits significantly diminishes their value, rendering them unsellable.
When Meghan made headlines during her visit to Bristol, England, she donned a unique William Vintage coat that concealed a whimsical printed chiffon dress underneath.
This enchanting piece, designed by Laura Kim and Orlando Garcia, featured a delightful design of forest animals and came with a price tag of $1,813, complete with bishop sleeves and a button neckline.
Yet, whispers of discontent followed her, as some courtiers reportedly lamented her presence.
Critics have not held back, suggesting that no matter how luxurious the brands she wears, Meghan somehow manages to diminish their allure.
A source remarked on her apparent lack of confidence, arguing that wearing such high-end fashion requires a certain level of self-assuredness that they believe she lacks.
Instead of embodying the elegance of the garments, she seems to merely reach for the labels, failing to deliver the commanding presence expected of such attire.
Adding fuel to the fire, there have been controversial claims regarding Meghan’s past appearances.
Some have suggested that she used beautiful dresses to create the illusion of pregnancy, stirring up a whirlwind of debate about her body image and fashion choices.
Critics have gone so far as to describe her physique in unflattering terms, questioning her suitability for certain styles.
Footwear has also come under scrutiny, with remarks about her size 11 feet and bunions.
Observers note that her skinny ankles make shoes appear less than flattering, contributing to an overall perception that she struggles with her fashion choices.
Meanwhile, the idea of comfortable, well-fitted clothing seems lost on her, according to those who claim she favors more revealing styles.
As if the fashion drama wasn’t enough, Meghan recently faced another setback in her career ambitions.
Sources close to the situation have confirmed that she is not in negotiations for a lucrative deal with Dior.
This news comes after rampant speculation about a potential partnership, fueled by sightings of both Meghan and Prince Harry in Dior attire at various high-profile events.
Fashion commentator Ward took to Twitter to clarify that there is no truth to the rumors surrounding a collaboration with the French fashion house.
This follows previous denials regarding a deal involving Prince Harry and Dior after he was seen wearing the brand at King Charles‘s historic coronation.
The buzz around Meghan and Dior intensified when a Beverly Hills socialite hinted at ongoing talks about a potential deal, igniting a frenzy of gossip online.
With both Meghan and Harry frequently spotted in Dior, the speculation seemed inevitable, but the reality appears to be quite different.
Despite the glamorous allure of high fashion, Meghan’s journey through the industry is proving to be fraught with challenges.
