URGENT UPDATE: A new fashion controversy is erupting around Meghan Markle as allegations surface regarding her acquisition of designer gowns. The Duchess of Sussex recently appeared in her Netflix holiday special, “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” wearing a green Galvan “Ushuaia” gown, sparking heated discussions about her wardrobe choices.
Sources indicate that Markle wore a dress previously featured in her 2022 Variety cover shoot, with reports suggesting she may have taken it without official clearance. According to Page Six, a fashion insider claimed that Markle “took the dress from the shoot without asking,” emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
Adding to the intrigue, a second source confirmed Markle now possesses the $1,695 gown, while a third source suggested the entire incident could stem from a misunderstanding regarding royal protocol. The insider stated, “as a royal, she was required to archive all her looks,” implying that the dress might have been intended for her personal collection rather than a casual oversight. However, this claim has been met with skepticism, as another source dismissed it as “a fib,” stating Markle’s team did not communicate any such archiving rules.
This isn’t the first time Markle has faced scrutiny over her fashion choices. Recently, she donned a black-and-white Chanel dress during a date night with Prince Harry in New York City — the same piece she wore in a 2022 The Cut feature. Observers have connected this repeat outfit to the ongoing discussion regarding how Markle handles designer items after high-profile photoshoots.
Journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis previously remarked on Andrew Gold’s “Heretics” podcast that Markle allegedly took “a lot of stuff” following her high-profile appearances. Grigoriadis expressed disbelief that someone living in a mansion worth $15 million would be concerned about retaining clothing from photoshoots, given her significant financial resources from deals exceeding $100 million.
Despite the swirling rumors and speculation, Markle has not publicly addressed the controversy surrounding the dresses. Sources close to her suggest that this may simply be a case of miscommunication rather than any deliberate misconduct.
As this story develops, the fashion community and fans of the Duchess are closely watching for any further comments or clarifications. The implications of this situation could affect public perception of Markle’s approach to fashion and her royal image.
