Why Meghan Markle wore a suit for her first public speaking engagement


 

 

The former Suits actress, who presented an award at the Endeavour Fund Awards in London last week, opted against a gown for a slim-fitting outfit, consisting of cropped cigarette trousers, worn with high stiletto heels and an off-white cream blouse.

Here at HELLO! Online, we spoke to body language expert Judi James about the reason behind Meghan’s monochrome style. Apart from the confident approach which I think is being reflected in her clothes, she tends to stick to monochrome, says Judi.

The tailoring in the masculine shaped jacket, teamed with tight trousers does two jobs, she added.

Commenting on the muted tones, Judi explained: It’s not too attention-seeking. She’s not doing the royal thing yet, which will be to wear something really loud and outlandish. So she hasn’t gone for that look.

But it seems that Meghan is carefully selecting her outfits for each engagement, making sure the world doesn’t get distracted by her new role.

[The suit] is very business-like, explained Judi. She is approaching these events in these slightly understated, tailored looks we know she wants to be an ambassador for charity work and things like that and human rights.

I think that’s possibly where she is going with that one, it’s slightly Angelina Jolie at work. It’s that business-like, understated, take me seriously’ look.

She has managed to win over the crowds with her charm all over the UK, having made visits to Nottingham and Cardiff in the past few months.
