Meghan Markle sends ‘secret message’ during controversial appearance | Royal | News
It was claimed that Meghan Markle sent a “secret message” when she appeared alone on the red carpet last weekend. The Duchess of Sussex attended the Fifteen Percent Pledge Fundraising Gala last Saturday. The event took place at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles and celebrated black-owned businesses.
Meghan looked elegant in a custom-made cream and black dress from Harbison Studio, with a dramatic black cape wrapped around her arms. She completed her look with a pair of black heeled sandals and black earrings.
Meghan’s stunning ensemble sent a “subtle but powerful” statement, according to reports.
Harbison Studio is a Los Angeles-based luxury brand founded by African-American designer Charles Harbison.
The Fifteen Percent pledge, a charity that encourages retailers to donate at least 15% of their shelf space to black-owned businesses, hosted the gala during Black History Month, which is celebrated in the United States in February.
According to GB News, Meghan’s decision to wear Habison Studio was in line with the evening’s guidelines and added “additional weight” to the sartorial decision.
“Meghan’s decision to wear a black designer’s creation at an event promoting equality for black entrepreneurs sent a clear message of support,” the report said.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s sartorial choice received mixed reviews from fans; While some liked it, others were not as impressed and said the garment was not designed for their body shape.

A second user commented: “The dress itself was beautiful, but I feel like the fabric was too heavy. You can tell the dress was taken off the rack and wasn’t tailored to her and definitely not a tailored outfit. It never showed her full potential and that black cape train thing was ridiculous.”
Meanwhile, another user wrote on Instagram: “So stunning! I especially loved how the dress and shawl were perfectly proportioned to her petite frame. Iconic!”
The second added: “So serene and elegant. This designer did more than justice.”
