A recent report suggests that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, may be on the brink of signing a deal with luxury fashion brand Dior.
The speculation comes as talent agency William Morris Endeavour (WME) seeks to reinvest in the duchess.
According to an article by author Caroline Graham in the Daily Mail on Sunday, an unnamed Beverly Hills socialite claims that Markle is the talk of the town.
Rumors have been circulating for weeks about a potential collaboration between the duchess and Dior, causing the gossip mill to go into overdrive.
If the deal materializes, it could overshadow the setback of Markle’s podcast being canceled after just one season.
The report suggests that Markle’s management team at WME has been working tirelessly to revamp her public image.
While the recent Spotify news may have caught some by surprise, insiders claim it is merely a small part of what Markle’s team has in store.
The WME source revealed that the agency has been strategizing Markle’s rebranding for weeks.
Since joining forces with WME CEO Ari Emanuel and his team in April, Markle has been fully immersed in meetings and discussions.
According to Variety, Ari Emanuel is renowned for his expertise in corporate deals and revenue generation.
The WME insider expressed excitement about representing Markle and emphasized the flurry of offers pouring in, even from other podcast platforms.
The prospect of Markle collaborating with Dior raises questions about who could better embody the spirit of the fashion house.
Perhaps Dior is seeking a face for one of their perfume lines, similar to Jennifer Lawrence for Joy by Dior, Natalie Portman for Miss Dior, or Charlize Theron for J’adore.
However, sources close to Dior deny any intention of signing a contract with Markle.
It is no secret that Markle has a fondness for Christian Dior.
Throughout her married life, she has been spotted wearing Dior haute couture outfits and accessories, including the Lady Dior handbag named in honor of Princess Diana.
Nevertheless, critics argue that Markle often fails to do justice to Dior’s high-end designer clothes.
They claim that her body shape does not complement the brand’s aesthetic.
The timing of the rumored Dior-Meghan partnership announcement is particularly intriguing.
It coincides with Spotify executive Bill Simmons’ derogatory comment about the couple, referring to them as “fucking grifters.”
This remark garnered more media attention than any previous instances of Markle wearing Dior or Dior dressing Markle.
Some speculate that Markle’s alleged desire for a $20 million deal with Dior is an attempt to replace the potential earnings she lost from the failed Spotify partnership.
Critics question the value Dior would gain from associating with Markle.
They argue that her unflattering appearance in their clothes and her tarnished reputation among those who can afford Dior’s products may not align with the brand’s image.
If anything, Dior might prefer to have Prince Harry, an actual British prince, promoting their French label.
Markle seems to fall short of the caliber they would typically seek.
Today’s headlines suggest that Markle’s PR strategy is in full swing, attempting to divert attention from recent controversies surrounding her non-invitation to Trooping the Colour and the unexpected Spotify fiasco.
Critics view this as a calculated distraction, labeling it the “grifter’s story.”
While Markle benefits from the association with a renowned fashion house, it is important to note that none of the information has been independently verified by credible sources.
Headlines and articles often serve as part of a PR strategy rather than a reflection of the truth.
