Meghan Markle's Armani dress from her Oprah interview is going on display at Fashion Museum Bath.
The dress has been chosen as 2021 Dress Of The Year.
A representative said, “There are moments in history that are all about the dress and Meghan’s Oprah interview was just such an occasion.”
A statement issued by the Fashion Museum said, "It’s well known that members of the Royal family often use outfits to send a message through their choice of style, colour or motif. It was reported that the Duchess chose a dress with a lotus flower design because of the flower’s symbolic association with rebirth, self-regeneration and spiritual enlightenment, and its ability to flourish despite seemingly challenging conditions."
“Meghan’s wrap dress by Armani, worn to showcase a divine pregnancy, framed the Duchess in black against the bountiful landscaping of Tyler Perry’s Hollywood garden. This look now, through sheer association with a viral television moment, is firmly engrained in our pop culture psyche.”
