Monique Lulier, a renowned designer, turned down Meghan Markle’s request for the same dress worn by Princess Beatrice at a recent gala in Los Angeles.
This request was not solely about fashion; it was part of Meghan and Prince Harry’s ongoing efforts to distance themselves from their former ally, Ahmed Scobie, and his controversial book.
During the Variety magazine’s Power of Women gala, Meghan Markle donned a camel-off-the-shoulder Pranza stroller dress, complemented by a sleek bun and $895 Aquazzura heels.
However, what caught everyone’s attention was her decision to forgo a bra, resulting in a very public and attention-grabbing n^pp|e situation captured by the cameras.
While body positivity and freedom of choice are important, some eyebrows were raised due to the nature of the event.
Speculation arose that Markle may have misinterpreted the public’s enthusiasm for seeing her exposed legs or shoulders.
It is possible she forgot that there is a time and place for everything, and a high-profile gala might not be the ideal setting for such a bold fashion choice.
It is worth noting that Markle used to claim she had to wear beige and other subdued colors to blend in with the royals.
Yet, even now that she is free from those constraints, she continues to stick to her beige wardrobe choices, raising questions about her authenticity.
The plot thickens when rumors suggest that Meghan admired Princess Beatrice’s dress, which was designed by Monique Lulier.
Apparently, several A-list celebrities had ordered outfits from the same designer for the Baby 2 Baby Gala earlier in the week.
Meghan desired to be part of this trend and attempted to order a similar dress for the variety event.
However, Monique Lulier firmly declined, informing Meghan that Beatrice’s dress was exclusive and that creating a replica in just one day was impossible.
As a result, Meghan had to settle for a Pronza Schouler dress, which did not flatter her, particularly in terms of color choice.
It seems she was unable to pull off the regal look that Beatrice effortlessly exuded.
Speaking of Princess Beatrice, she made a stunning appearance at the opening of Monique Lulier’s flagship store in Europe.
Wearing a gold sequin cocktail dress and cape from the designer, Beatrice looked absolutely radiant.
She was accompanied by fashion stylist Olivia Bingham, and together they posed for photos.
Beatrice’s auburn hair cascaded elegantly, and her makeup was kept minimal with a subtle smoky eye.
Fans showered her with praise, describing her as regal and gorgeous.
This is not the first time Beatrice has showcased Monique Lulier designs; she previously wore a long-sleeved embroidered lace dress at Royal Ascot.
These celebration photos emerged shortly after her attendance at a special Royal Family gathering, further solidifying her enduring presence within royal circles.
