Meghan Markle’s recent attempt to collaborate with renowned stylist Jamie Mizrahi has hit a roadblock, as Mizrahi has denied any dining out or conversations with the Duchess of Sussex regarding a potential partnership.
The former actress reportedly sought Mizrahi’s expertise to align her wardrobe with a new venture following the launch of her brand, American Riviera Orchard.
However, despite Meghan’s efforts, Mizrahi, known for her work with celebrities like Katy Perry and Jennifer Lawrence, as well as luxury brands, chose not to associate herself with Meghan’s fashion endeavors.
Speculations arose in November 2023 when Meghan was allegedly spotted having dinner with Jamie Mizrahi before attending Katy Perry’s Las Vegas concert, also attended by Prince Harry.
Reports suggested deep conversations between Meghan and Mizrahi during the dinner.
Nevertheless, Mizrahi’s camp swiftly refuted any claims of a meeting with Meghan Markle, and no official announcement regarding a partnership has been made.
The rejection from Mizrahi comes at a time when the stylist’s career is on the rise, recently being featured in the Hollywood Reporter’s list of top 25 power stylists for her work with Adele and Emma Stone.
The decision not to work with Meghan indicates that Mizrahi’s expertise may not be destined for the Duchess’s wardrobe, especially given the lack of mention of Meghan in Mizrahi’s recent accolades.
Critics have pointed out Meghan’s consistent fashion missteps, with her public appearances often marred by untidy and wrinkled outfits.
This lack of attention to detail in her attire has deterred major fashion brands and stylists from collaborating with her, as they seek clients who uphold certain standards of elegance and professionalism.
Meghan’s disregard for maintaining a polished appearance reflects poorly on potential partnerships within the industry, hindering her ability to elevate her style and image in the public eye.
Rumors have also circulated about Meghan’s alleged pursuit of certain A-listers, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, despite reported rejections.
These speculations have raised questions about Meghan’s fashion choices and her approach to collaborations within the industry.
Additionally, US host Megyn Kelly has criticized Meghan’s new lifestyle brand, questioning its authenticity and appeal to consumers, labeling it as “fake” compared to established brands like Martha Stewart’s.
Furthermore, royal expert Richard Kaye has warned Meghan and Prince Harry about the pitfalls of relying too heavily on their celebrity status in Hollywood.
Kaye suggested that if the couple fails to diversify their narrative and offerings, they risk losing relevance and support from the entertainment industry.
The warning serves as a cautionary tale for Meghan and Harry as they navigate their post-royal life and seek to establish themselves in the competitive world of celebrity endorsements and partnerships.
