Meghan Markle: dress hides powerful message and creates buzz during interview with Oprah Winfrey
Meghan Markle did not choose her dress at random for her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Dotted with lotus flowers, the Georgio Armani creation hides a powerful meaning.
The big day has finally arrived. This Sunday, March 7 is marked by the broadcast of the interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry conducted by Oprah Winfrey. At the beginning of the week, the world discovers some extracts from this exchange "without prohibited subject" underlines the star journalist. While the royal family's policy is to lock down all communication by not granting any interviews, the couple, who have finally taken off, are confiding like never before.
On this occasion, Meghan Markle is betting on a singular makeup. The black eyeliner that enhances her eyes is reminiscent of that worn by Diana in her shocking BBC interview in 1996. The former Suits actress is sublimated in an Armani dress. This creation, which reveals its baby bump, also hides a message according to the British media who have deciphered the outfit from the inside out.
Public figures, like members of the royal family, use their looks to communicate, to match the event they are attending or to match the country they are going to. The smallest outfits are designed with the help of an armada of stylists. So Meghan Markle’s choice of dress is far from trivial.
A rebirth in the face of adversity
The first stylistic analyzes are notably relayed by the newspaper The Telegraph which affirms that the motif dotting the bust is a lotus flower. Strong in symbol, the ornament embodies rebirth and spiritual enlightenment recalls the newspaper. A parallel is then established between the natural strength of this flower and the strength of Meghan Markle who freed herself: "The daily resurrection of the lotus flower is considered a proof of determination and will to live" and to specify : "The Duchess understands that a lotus seed can resist thousands of years without water while being able to germinate two centuries later". The paper even goes so far as to claim that: "This refusal to accept defeat is how she sees her own battle against the pressures of royal life."
Town & Country, another British title, also deciphers this message and points out "The resilience of the flower and its ability to flourish despite difficult conditions".
