Meghan Markle made a grand entrance at the Women of Vision Awards in New York, but not without facing some unexpected challenges.
As she arrived, she and her mother were seen entering through a Hertz car rental location, which happened to be adjacent to the venue.
However, the smoothness of the moment was disrupted when a man with a British accent yelled at Markle, asking how she felt about being part of two broken families.
This comment clearly angered her, as she immediately walked out of the car and grabbed her mum.
The incident seemed to echo a previous encounter with the same man at the Ripple of Hope Award in New York City, where he had directed a similar provocative question towards Prince Harry.
Inside the Hertz car rental area, Markle showcased her resilience and determination as she gracefully made her way towards the venue.
She wore a custom version of a $1,850 Colombian designed gown, which will forever be known as the “Hertz dress.”
In line with the evening’s feminist theme, Markle chose a dress from women-owned brand Joanna Ortiz.
However, she added her personal touch by removing the straps, showcasing her California glow.
Some critics argue that the dress may not have been the best choice for her body type, pointing out fit issues and suggesting that she should consider dressing more appropriately.
Continuing with the golden color scheme, Markle accessorized her midi dress with a pair of stylish gold strappy n^ked heels from Tom Ford.
These $1,350 sandals feature a barely-there design and include a key and padlock embellishment on the ankle strap.
She also carried a $1,100 Carolina Herrera Metropolitan insignia clutch in the same golden shade, which complemented her overall look.
Adding a touch of glamour, Markle adorned her left wrist with several diamond bracelets, including one that is believed to have once belonged to Princess Diana.
To complete her ensemble, Markle opted for a pair of budget-friendly J.Crew hoop earrings featuring chunky clear stones around the hoop.
Despite her efforts to create a stunning look, some critics compared her outfit to Princess Catherine’s beautiful gown at the James Bond Premiere and suggested that Markle should give up trying to emulate it.
They praised Catherine’s impeccable tailoring and how she always manages to wear dresses that perfectly suit her body.
Despite the controversy surrounding her arrival, Meghan Markle showcased her resilience and style at the Women of Vision Awards.
As she continues to navigate her new life, she proves herself to be a true vision in the world of fashion and philanthropy.
