Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, made headlines on Saturday for her appearance at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles 2024 Gala, not just for her charitable spirit but for her wardrobe choice. Meghan arrived at the event in a red Carolina Herrera gown she had previously worn at a gala in 2021. This time, the duchess reworked the dress, signaling her growing embrace of sustainability in fashion.
Rewearing outfits on red carpets is becoming a more conscious choice among celebrities advocating for sustainable fashion practices. Stars like Cate Blanchett, Billie Eilish, and Gwyneth Paltrow have increasingly chosen to rewear their previous outfits to highlight the growing conversation around eco-friendly fashion. Meghan’s decision to repeat her stunning Carolina Herrera dress was no different, aligning her with this movement.
Originally, Meghan wore the dress during a New York gala celebrating military veterans in 2021. It was a voluminous gown with a dramatic train, accessorized with her Birks Snowflake Snowstorm Diamond Earrings and pointed satin pumps. This weekend, however, she opted for a more
minimalist approach, transforming the gown into a sleek, tailored look. She ditched the heavy jewelry and kept it simple, finishing off the look with a pair of open-toed slingback heels by Giuseppe Zanotti.
The duchess’ new, laid-back fashion choices appear to reflect her lifestyle post-royalty. Since stepping down from royal duties with her husband, Prince Harry, Meghan has adopted a more casual and personal style, distancing herself from the strict protocols of royal fashion.
At the event, Meghan not only turned heads with her outfit but also spoke passionately about the importance of the hospital’s work. “The staff is incredible, and the amount of work they do for families that really could not afford this level of care is something that should never be overlooked,” she said.
While Meghan's fashion choices continue to be scrutinized, her focus on important causes such as the work done at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles ensures that she continues to use her influence for good.
