Not since Barney, or more accurately, his young friend Baby Bop, has this color combination worked so well. But leave it to Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle to make green and purple look not only good but actually sophisticated.
The Archetypes host appeared at an event in Indianapolis for the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana on Tuesday, November 29, for a discussion of women’s and girl’s rights, per . For the occasion, she chose the forest green Twisted Keyhole-Front Jersey Midi Dress from Giorgio Armani (a chill $1,795) and violet suede heels. She accented the color scheme with an emerald necklace that’s literally called the Baby Queen Water Drop Emerald Solitaire Necklace. Baby queen, as in princess? A stretch, I know, a stretch. Check out the pics here.
While the Hollywood set is still juggling the two big trends of the year—Barbie or Valentino pink, and sheer—it’s nice to see that Markle has retained a timeless, sophisticated style. Not that there’s anything undignified about cutouts and mesh, but that’s just not her vibe. In fact, watching her “loosen up” post-royal-life while staying, let’s say, coastal preppy has some calling it a new style era for the former Suits star. (Insert joke about wearing suits here.)
The duchess recently wrapped the season finale of her podcast, and while she still hasn’t gotten her husband “on the pod” (besides one brief pop-in), she did reveal that Harry inspired her to include men in her conversations. Those men ended up being Andy Cohen, Judd Apatow, and Trevor Noah, which is also my dream casting for a Three Men and a Baby remake.
“It was important to us that women have a space to share their authentic and complicated, complex and dynamic experiences. To be heard and to be understood,” Meghan Markle explained. “But through that process, it also occurred to me—and truth be told, at the suggestion of my husband—that if we really want to shift how we think about gender and the limiting labels that we separate people into, then we have to broaden the conversation…and we have to actively include men in that conversation and certainly in that effort.” Which is so true. But I’m also glad to see her back on the Women Circuit.
