Meghan Markle, known for her impeccable style, continues to make headlines even after stepping back from her royal duties. Her recent trip to Colombia with Prince Harry has sparked much conversation about her carefully curated wardrobe, showcasing a blend of cultural nods and her signature modern aesthetic.
During a visit to the Delia Zapata National Arts Center in Bogotá, Meghan opted for a striking geometric Johanna Ortiz dress, paying tribute to the intricate weaving traditions of the Navajo tribe. This choice exemplified the thorough research undertaken by Markle’s team, selecting a Colombian designer renowned for her talent while acknowledging the heritage of the host region.
Beyond the dress, it was Meghan’s accessories that truly captured attention, reflecting the multifaceted persona she embodies – a philanthropist, a businesswoman, and a fashion icon. Her signature Jimmy Choo heels are a staple in any A-lister’s wardrobe, while the subtle sparkle of Cartier jewelry serves as a subtle indicator of wealth and sophistication.
Markle rarely parts with her Cartier Tank watch, a timepiece once worn by Princess Diana, and her Love bracelet, a symbol of enduring love and commitment. However, the standout piece was her Juste Un Clou choker, a more recent addition to her jewelry collection that she reserves for special occasions like the Invictus Games.
The Juste Un Clou collection, meaning “just a nail,” originated as a rebellious design in 1971, reflecting designer Aldo Cipullo’s penchant for transforming everyday objects into luxurious pieces. The bracelet gained immense popularity in the 2000s, rebranded with its “punk” undertones and expanded into necklaces, rings, and brooches.
Meghan’s choker, a small yellow gold version adorned with 57 diamonds totaling 0.20 carats, retails for a considerable sum, highlighting the thoughtfulness and symbolism behind her every choice.
This careful curation of jewelry, combined with her choice of a navy Veronica Beard suit for her arrival in Colombia, further solidified her image as a sophisticated businesswoman and a conscious traveler. Her accessories – Manolos, a Loro Piana tote, Lorraine Schwartz diamonds, and her cherished Cartier watch and bracelet – served as a silent testament to her entrepreneurial spirit and her commitment to a curated, meaningful style.
