The Armani dress with a lotus flower motif, which Duchess Meghan wore in the famous interview with Oprah Winfrey after the royal exit of the Sussexes, will soon be exhibited.
Bath – It was a massive TV moment. The highly anticipated two-hour interview hosted by Oprah Winfrey, 68, with the royal couple was watched by an estimated 60 million viewers in 70 countries. Since it became one of the most important pop culture moments of 2021, Duchess Meghan’s (40) outfit is given a special honor. 24royal.de reveals that the designer piece is to be exhibited as “Dress of the Year” in the Fashion Museum in Bath.
Never before had there been comparable allegations against the British royal family around Queen Elizabeth II * (95) from their own ranks in front of the camera. In the biggest royal interview for decades *, there were, among other things, racist accusations from Duchess Meghan *, Prince Harry’s wife * (37). The processing of the statements of the Sussexes* continues to this day.
For the recording, Meghan wore a black silk-georgette dress with a plunging neckline, embroidered with lotus flowers and a matching belt from Giorgio Armani’s Spring/Summer 2022 Cruise collection, which is still available to buy in the US.
Since royals often make non-verbal statements with their choice of clothes, Duchess Meghan’s outfit also received a lot of attention. While Royal fans were reminded of the look of Wallis Simpson (89, † 1986) *, experts also suspected that the lotus flower motif should be associated as a symbol of rebirth, self-regeneration and spiritual enlightenment. The flowers are also credited with the ability to thrive despite seemingly difficult conditions.
Visitors to the Museum of Fashion in Bath will soon see a version of the Duchess of Sussex’s dress as part of the ‘A History of Fashion in 100 Objects’ exhibition. Ibrahim Kamara (31) and Gareth Wrighton (28) from “Dazed” magazine justified their selection at “Dailymail” as follows: The look would have been firmly anchored in the pop culture psyche simply through the association with a viral TV moment. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
