Meghan Markle’s wardrobe in Montecito reflects her preference for luxury, featuring cashmere and linen pieces in shades of cream, navy, and charcoal. For red carpet events and glamorous gatherings, she often chooses flowing Ralph Lauren, draped Balenciaga, sleek Chanel designs, and touches of old Hollywood elegance.
On Friday evening, April 10, the Duchess of Sussex attended a private Netflix event with Prince Harry, celebrating the second season of Beef in Montecito, California. Meghan wore the Gale gown from California lifestyle brand Heidi Merrick, known for its breezy West Coast style. She paired it with tan Jimmy Choo Etana 50 leather strappy mules and Brilliant Earth diamond stud earrings. The gown, in a trendy yet controversial chartreuse color, features a flowing tiered skirt and a fitted bodice.
Chartreuse, a vibrant, electric hue, is one of springâs standout colors, seen in runway collections from Balenciaga, AlaĂŻa, Valentino, and Tibi. Despite its nearly neon appearance, Meghan demonstrates how flattering it can be. The shade can be styled simply to remain the focal point of an outfit, or it can enhance neutral tones like black, white, and warm browns. It can also complement other bright colors for those feeling adventurous.
During the event, Meghan was photographed with Harry, Nicole Avant, and Ted Sarandos. The guest list included Katy Perry with Justin Trudeau, Carey Mulligan, Orlando Bloom, and Oscar Isaac. The Sussexes are reportedly developing a scripted drama about polo through their company, Archewell Productions, as they continue to make appearances. Meanwhile, Netflix has not renewed the highly scrutinized With Love, Meghan for a third season.
Over the past year, Meghan Markle has gradually embraced a more glamorous style as she returns to the public eye. As the founder of As Ever, she has been experimenting with refined looks, beginning with a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week supporting her friend Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Balenciaga debut, where she wore a dramatic white cape. At the Fifteen Percent Gala, she made a solo red carpet appearance in a Harbison Studio gown featuring a flowing train. This bold color choice aligns with Meghanâs evolving, fashion-forward aesthetic, just in time for spring.
