Meghan Markle's Fashion Choices: The Inside Story You Didn't Know

Meghan Markle’s 2018 British Fashion Awards Speech Is So Empowering

Poor Meghan Markle! The Duchess of Sussex truly stole the show with her stunning one-shoulder black Givenchy gown when she made a surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Monday, December 10. Now, here's the inside scoop: According to a new report, Meghan’s first choice for her gown was actually nixed by the Palace before the event even happened. Imagine that pressure!

So, let’s break it down. “Meghan had two different outfit options for the Fashion Awards on Monday night. Both were sent to her by Givenchy. The one she ended up wearing wasn’t her top pick, but it was the one the Palace approved,” a source close to the soon-to-be mom revealed to Us Weekly on Thursday, December 13. “She still looked absolutely fabulous, but you’ve got to wonder—what was her original choice? And why did the Palace let her rock a one-shoulder dress after all?”

Meghan’s Stylish Choices: Breaking the Mold

Now, Meghan’s Givenchy dress wasn’t the only thing that caught everyone’s attention. When the photos from the British Fashion Awards hit the internet, people couldn’t stop talking about her bold black nail polish. Let’s be real, it was a daring move! You see, according to royal protocol, Queen Elizabeth reportedly only approves of light shades on nails—like her favorite Essie polish, “Ballet Slippers.” But Meghan went all out with her dark polish, proving that she’s not afraid to make a statement.

    Meghan's Tribute to Prince Charles

    On top of her fashion choices, Meghan also paid a sweet tribute to her father-in-law, Prince Charles, with her jewelry selection at the event. Jewelry designer Pippa Small took to Instagram to share her excitement, writing, “Honored to see the beautiful Duchess of Sussex wearing our bangles and stud earrings proudly made by artisans of the @TurquoiseMountain foundation in Afghanistan.” It’s worth noting that Meghan has worn Pippa’s jewelry before, but these particular pieces held special meaning because Charles played a pivotal role in establishing the Turquoise Mountain Foundation back in 2006. What a thoughtful nod to family ties!
