Givenchy Spills: Meghan Markle Goes Commando in Transparent Dress During Royal Duty

During Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 16-day tour of New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, and the Kingdom of Tonga, the Duchess experienced a wardrobe malfunction that left a lasting impression.

Now, a Givenchy designer has come forward to shed light on the incident.

On her final day of the royal tour, Meghan wore a custom Givenchy skirt that, as pointed out by Cosmopolitan and Twitter user AtPattyHuntington, appeared slightly less see-through in some photos.

However, this was not a simple wardrobe malfunction.

It turns out that the fabric used in Meghan's Givenchy skirt often appears transparent, especially in bright light.

As Meghan engaged with fans during an outdoor walkabout in Rotaru, New Zealand, the bright sunlight unexpectedly made the plaited skirt see-through.

This relatable fashion mishap is something many can relate to, having experienced the surprise of an outfit becoming more revealing than anticipated when stepping outside from dimly lit interiors.

Givenchy, aware that Meghan wanted to wear the dress on the last day of the trip, had warned her about the possibility of the dress becoming transparent in strong sunlight due to the special fabric.

They even provided chic bloomer briefs for the Duchess to wear and avoid any revealing moments.

However, Meghan chose to ignore the warning and opted not to wear protective undergarments.

The British royal family has strict guidelines regarding the attire of working royals, specifically discouraging excessively revealing clothing.

As representatives of the monarchy, they are expected to carry out their duties with decorum.

One of Queen Elizabeth's fashion rules for female members of the royal family is to wear tights with dresses and skirts, and knee-length hemlines are recommended.

In her short time as a royal, Meghan Markle has broken these rules and more, captivating the public's attention.

She is carving her own path, unafraid to make bold fashion choices.

During a visit to Fraser Island in Australia on October 22nd, Meghan made headlines by wearing a $218 striped reformation dress with a daring side slit that extended up to mid-thigh.

Unfortunately, the wind decided to play its part that day, causing her skirt to lift multiple times.

This striped, belted dress was undeniably one of Meghan's riskier fashion choices.

In August 2018, Meghan once again defied royal tradition by stepping out in a short black dress without tights, showcasing her bare, slender legs.

She chose a £327 tuxedo dress by Canadian label Judith and Charles for a gala performance of the musical Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London.

The dress featured an open collar, plunging neckline, and long sleeves.

However, it was the short hemline, reaching a few inches above her knees, that surprised fans and drew attention to her flawless legs.

Fashion expert Stephanie Sheldon previously commented on Meghan's bold fashion choices, stating that she is breaking royal traditions and forging her own path.
