Meghan Markle‘s unexpected appearance at the Variety Power of Women event in Los Angeles on Thursday evening may have been a very strategic way for her to announce that she’s officially back in Hollywood. Instead of a huge PR event, curated by her high-powered talent agents at William Morris Endeavor, she found a subtle tactic that proves she’s here to stay this time.
The stunning neutral Proenza Schouler was a quiet showstopper. As a former honoree, the Duchess of Sussex was there to support the new class of women — and she did so with her respectful choice of wardrobe. It drew attention, but just the right amount since it wasn’t her big night. Etiquette expert Myka Meier toldThe Telegraph that this was Meghan’s “re-debut” into the entertainment industry.
Meier noticed that her ensemble wasn’t the only thing that has changed, her body language showed off a new sense of self. “I think she looks confident; I think she looks really happy. She looks like she wants to be there. And the over-the-shoulder pose was a major differentiator from her royal pose days. She’s back to her celebrity red-carpet days.” The means Meghan finally has the “freedom and flexibility to be more playful on the red carpet” because she no longer has to follow royal protocol.
With the Duchess of Sussex officially in “her comfort zone,” Meier think it wouldn’t be surprising “to start seeing more and more of Meghan than ever before.” She and Prince Harry can do joint appearances, but the solo outings will be even more crucial to establishing the next steps in her Hollywood career. There doesn’t seem to be any interest in reviving her on-camera career, but Meghan is ready to wield her power behind the scenes — and the red-carpet appearance was just a hint of what is to come.
