Megan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex, faced a setback when she was declined sponsorship for a red dress. Carolina Herrera, known for its luxurious fashion, brought together renowned models like Christy Turlington and the celebrated photographer Bridget Lome for its latest ad campaign. Delina Blacker, Prince Harry's close friend and now Nao's wife, was also chosen to feature alongside Christy Turlington.
The captivating photo shoot took place in Madrid and aimed to highlight the timeless appeal of the brand's leather products, especially those crafted in Spain. The campaign is set to debut on Carolina Herrera's social media platforms and website, CarolinaHerrera.com.
Following the photo session in April, Carolina Herrera organized an equestrian adventure in the Adol Asian countryside for an exclusive group of eight friends who share a passion for horses, much like Carolina Herrera herself. Notable figures such as Turlington and her daughter Grace Burns, Poppy Delevingne, Prince Constantine Alexia of Greece and Denmark, Delina De Blacker, Italian socialite Gianna Vari Ros, French actress Valeria Niiko, and American socialite Thailand Win were part of this exclusive experience.
The group embarked on a 3-day safari expedition through the Sierra Marina mountains, orchestrated by George Scott and documented by British equestrian photographer Georgina Preston. These captivating images are expected to be featured on the company's social media channels in September, with international print coverage scheduled for release on August 20th.
In an intriguing turn of events, Megan's aspirations to secure an endorsement deal with Carolina Herrera seemed to have hit a roadblock. While Megan had worn a Carolina Herrera dress at the Veterans Day event in New York City in 2021, which received mixed reviews on social media due to its fit and appearance, it was rumored that Megan sought to leverage her connection with Delina to secure a sponsorship deal with Carolina Herrera.
However, it appears that the fashion brand chose not to engage with Megan following her previous red dress incident in New York City. Reports suggest that Megan did not settle her bill with Carolina Herrera, possibly in an attempt to secure a freebie through Delina.
Megan's choice of the red Carolina Herrera dress for the Veterans Day Gala had garnered significant attention but faced criticism for its fit issues. Observers noted excess fabric around the rims and a tight fit around the neck. Social media users also commented on various aspects of her appearance, from the dress's fit to her makeup and accessories. Some even questioned her choice of attire for the military-themed event.
This episode involving Megan Markle, Carolina Herrera, and her fashion choices underscores the challenges high-profile individuals like Megan face in dealing with public scrutiny, especially when it comes to their fashion selections and brand affiliations.
