When raising awareness for charitable causes (where it is helpful to be seen as pure and noble) establishment figures will more often than not dress in white. And there is an entire school of thought dedicated to the ivory-clad wardrobes of public figures who want to be seen as virtuous and honest. It tracks, then, that Meghan Markle should wear this trouser suit to speak at an Archewell event.
Yesterday afternoon, the Duchess of Sussex wore an Altazzura two-piece while speaking about mental wellness in the digital age. The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit brought together parents who have experienced loss connected to their child’s social media use. “The priority is to turn pain into purpose and provide as much support for these parents to heal together,” Prince Harry said at the event in New York.
An off-the-shoulder boatneck, Meghan’s blazer called to mind the Clare Waight Keller-designed dress that she wore on her wedding day. At first glance, it seemed as though she had been doing a “Marge Simpson” (aka being sustainable and reworking an expensive dress in evermore innovative ways). She wore her boatneck piece with matching wide-legged trousers, Sarah Handler earrings, a Cartier Love Bracelet, and her signature Aquazzura pumps.
