Body language expert Judy James observed Meghan's poses and noted that they had more of a Hollywood vibe compared to the typical postures seen from members of the Royal Family. Judy commented, "These are Hollywood poses, not Royal ones." Despite her previous aversion to beige, Meghan seemed quite comfortable in the dress, flashing knowing smiles and effortlessly displaying the seemingly simple sheath dress, which elevated her status as a powerful celebrity.
Meghan greeted the cameras with a smile upon arriving at the event, striking poses until her assistant gently guided her along the red carpet. The fact that Meghan needed assistance to move along indicates just how much she relished being the center of attention, according to Judy James. She also pointed out that Meghan's apparent enjoyment of the celebrity spotlight was evident in her well-crafted poses, including sideways glances over one shoulder, statuesque poses with a raised chin conveying confidence, and an elegant waistline.
In a Netflix documentary series, Meghan disclosed that during her time in the UK, she rarely wore colorful outfits to avoid inadvertently matching with senior Royals. She mentioned that there was an unspoken rule about not wearing the same color as the Queen or other senior family members during group events. Hence, she opted for muted tones like camel, beige, and white to blend in and not draw attention. Meghan emphasized that she was determined to fit into the family and not embarrass them.
However, her behavior at the event in Venice was quite different. She posed as if she were the star of the show, even though she wasn't one of the honorees. Meghan's thirst for attention was apparent as she spent extra time on the red carpet, thanked the press for compliments, and moved about with security and assistants. It all seemed rather peculiar and, to some, a bit cringe-worthy, considering she was not the main attraction at the Venice Film Festival premiere. Meghan may have been confident, but her style and approach couldn't quite measure up to the likes of Zena and Laura Roach in the fashion world.
