Meghan Markle made a statement appearance at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles gala, wearing a bold red dress that sparked conversations about the message behind her outfit choice. The Duchess of Sussex’s ensemble is drawing comparisons to Princess Diana’s iconic “revenge dress,” with many speculating that Meghan’s outfit was intended to send a subtle statement to the royal family.
This red dress is not new to Meghan’s wardrobe; she previously wore it to a 2021 New York event honoring military personnel on the eve of Veterans Day and Armistice Day. According to a source cited by Mail+“The belief is that this red dress is Meghan’s version of Diana’s revenge dress.”
Meghan’s striking dress and poised appearance fueled speculation that she was entering a new chapter in her life. The comparison to Princess Diana’s 1994 “revenge dress” stems from the late royal’s decision to wear a revealing black dress on the same night Prince Charles publicly admitted his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.
As Meghan continues to make bold fashion choices, her latest appearance is seen by some as a nod to Diana’s legacy of breaking royal traditions and making powerful statements through her wardrobe.
