The Hidden Symbolism Behind Meghan Markle's Unexpected Color Combo

To quote Taylor Swift, what if I told you none of it was accidental? Meghan Markle's most recent outfit may seem unexpected at first, but there's actually a hidden meaning behind the color combination she chose to wear. Listen, I don't blame you if you were too focused on Meghan Markle's empowering discussion to notice the color of her shoes, but you know we're all about style and substance here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , so you can bet I'll be talking about both.

Markle attended a fundraiser for the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana, which runs programs for women on intimate violence prevention, executive leadership, mental health, and more. For the event, the Duchess of Sussex wore a green Giorgio Armani dress with purple Manolo Blahnik shoes.

As Page Six smartly pointed out, green and purple, along with white, are actually the official colors of International Women's Day. The organization explained the significance on its website: "Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. The colors originated from the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK in 1908." So there you have it: It was all by design because she's a mastermind. Okay, I'll stop with the Taylor Swift references now. Scroll down to see Meghan Markle's outfit and shop similar pieces.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
