Let’s take a look at Meghan’s fashion evolution since leaving the royal family.
“Most of the time that I was in the U.K.
I rarely wore color,” Meghan explained.
Like, I’m not trying to stand out here.
I don’t want to embarrass the family."
Portraits are taken to encapsulate the moment, and Louis' christening pictures speak volumes to Meghan’s exclusion.
“I wore a lot of color that week,” she said in the docuseries.
“It just felt like, ‘Well, let’s just look like a rainbow.'”
Harry added, “It was our opportunity to go out with a bang.”
And go out with a bang they did.
What was equally as refreshing was her wardrobe choice for the appearance.
“I felt a sharp cramp.
The event was hosted by Baby2Baby, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that helps children in need.
She kept her hair loose and looked effortlessly put together.
She showed up for the work, and let her clothes speak for themselves.
Meghan continued to wear pieces that carried meaning.
Her politics were certainly not hidden anymore.
She paired the look with a low ponytail and natural makeup, looking both chic and sophisticated.
All in all, she gave a fashion masterclass that week.
She looked effortlessly chic and ready to take on just about anything.
Meghan paired the look with a chain-strap bag also from Valentino and a pair of heels from Aquazzura.
There was quite a lot of meaning in the jewelry she chose for the day, too.
She wore her Cartier watch, as always, and a necklace from Sophie Lis.
“The important work can’t wait for tomorrow.”
In the wake of her speech, model and activist Halima Aden toldPeoplehow much she connected with the duchess.
“I loved her speech.
It was the best kick off and it motivated everybody on stage,” Aden expressed.
“As a young Black woman myself I look up to her so much.”
It wasn’t just Meghan’s speech that had people talking, either.
Making the look that much better, however, was the designer.
Meghan paired the look with black heels and a pair of earrings from Carolina Herrera.
