Meghan Markle’s sexy red carpet comeback – ‘She doesn’t care what people think’

Meghan Markle once said she was determined to “blend in” using her muted royal wardrobe, but that idea seemed a distant memory when she turned heads at a red carpet charity event this month. Stepping out in a fiery red and extremely low-cut designer dress – with her tousled hair hanging loose by her shoulders – there was no question of who’d be making the headlines the next day.

Four years after leaving the UK – and abandoning her beige royal wardrobe – a source tells OK! that her striking new look is part of Meghan’s big comeback, and to show she still has what it takes to be a huge Hollywood star. “Before she met Harry she would always wear eye-catching outfits like that on the red carpet and would love the attention they would bring,” they said.

She has admitted herself that once she became a royal she really had to tone down her wardrobe and make more conservative choices as well as claiming she wasn’t allowed to wear a lot of colour.”

In Meghan and Prince Harry ’s 2022 special Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, showed she thinks carefully about her look, and revealed she wanted to go out with a bang and dress “like a rainbow” during her last week as a working royal two years earlier.

“To my understanding, you can’t ever wear the same colour as Her Majesty if there’s a group event,” she revealed. “But then you also should never be wearing the same colour as one of the other more senior members of the family. So I was like…well, what’s a colour they’ll probably never wear? Camel? Beige? White? So I wore a lot of muted tones but it was also so I could just blend in.”

She also said she didn’t want to upstage or “ruffle any feathers” when it came to standing by the likes of Kate Middleton and other senior royals, but given her recycling of her £4,595 Caroline Hererra dress this month, it seems it’s no longer a concern.
