Royal family experts were accurate in their predictions about why Meghan Markle chose not to attend King Charles’ coronation.
When news broke that she had declined the invitation, many speculated that Meghan wanted to avoid blending in with other high-profile attendees, where she might not get as much attention.
At the same time, an expert predicted Meghan would soon make a “grand appearance” at an event where she could be the main focus.
Her appearance at the Women of Vision Awards in New York confirmed this prediction.
Meghan’s arrival at the ceremony was almost staged like a royal appearance.
Her outfit ensured all eyes were on her—she dazzled in gold from head to toe.
She wore a gold brocade dress, accessorized with a gold purse, gold earrings, and diamond bracelets. Even her sandals were gold. None of it came cheap.
The dress by Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz was valued at around $2,000, her Tom Ford sandals at $1,500, and her Carolina Herrera purse at over $1,000.
While this outfit might have gone unnoticed at a Hollywood event, it was seen as inappropriate for the occasion.
The event wasn’t about celebrity fashion but about honoring women who made a significant impact in the fight for women’s rights.
In contrast to Meghan’s glittering ensemble, the other honorees were dressed modestly—some in business suits, others in jeans.
