As they walked hand in hand, Meghan donned a Panama hat and an ivory crochet maxi dress by Chloé, a piece currently available for purchase at the price of £5,400. This elegant creation by the esteemed French fashion house is described as a hand-crocheted design, meticulously crafted from an engineered patchwork of organic shapes, knitted from luxurious woolen silk. Its fluid ankle-length silhouette exudes a captivating feminine allure.
The long flared tank dress is part of Chloé's spring-summer 2022 collection, but it's already sold out, proving to be a sought-after fashion item priced at $6,650. It raises the question of whether Meghan had acquired this dress a year ago, anticipating her paparazzi-covered island resort getaway, or if she managed a quick visit to the Camarillo Premium Outlets. Regardless, opinions on her fashion choice were divided.
Some fans commented that Meghan has a knack for making expensive outfits look haphazard and ill-suited, suggesting that designers might want to consider paying her not to wear their clothes. Notably, brands like Carolina Herrera and Chloé might be nervously reconsidering their fashion choices after seeing Meghan in their creations.
In an intriguing twist, rumors circulated that Chloé's CEO turned down Meghan's offer, opting instead to collaborate with Angelina Jolie on a new fashion brand. Angelina Jolie, the well-known actor, director, former UN Refugee Agency Goodwill Ambassador, and special envoy, recently unveiled her venture into the fashion industry, Italia Jolie, before an audience of 216,000 fans. This venture represents a broader initiative to infuse global awareness and socially conscious values into the fashion industry, envisioning it as a cultural center fused with a design workshop. Italia Jolie will offer tailoring and upcycling services, host a gallery for local artisans, and feature a cafe in partnership with refugee organizations.
Angelina Jolie has also launched Italia Jolie's official Instagram account, rapidly amassing followers, from 157,000 to 216,000 in a short span. This surge in followers led to speculation about whether Meghan Markle might have bought followers for her own account. It's worth noting that Meghan has shown a greater interest in being photographed in fashionable outfits than in establishing her own clothing line. Still, there's curiosity about whether Meghan might request complimentary clothing from Angelina Jolie, as she has been linked to such requests in the past.
The exciting partnership between Angelina Jolie and Chloé for a capsule wardrobe drew attention on Instagram, with the actress expressing her admiration for the brand's status as a certified B Corp. Angelina emphasized her privilege in collaborating with Gabriella Hurst and her hope that all women would feel comfortable and beautiful in this capsule collection.
The earnings from this collaboration will be channeled into establishing apprenticeships for tailor and artist sons at Italia Jolie. Angelina's impeccable style was also highlighted, a contrast to Meghan's experiences of making a $100,000 ensemble look less than stellar. The humorous suggestion arose that perhaps Meghan could consider partnering with Petco for dog coats, showcasing the wide range of fashion opinions and possibilities in the world of style and clothing.
