Meghan Markle wore a stunning forest green midi dress with purple heels to a Women’s Fund of Central Indiana event last night, and her outfit had a touching hidden meaning.
The Duchess of Sussex attended a discussion titled “The Power of Women: An Evening with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex” at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown while wearing Giorgio Armani’s “Twisted Keyhole-Front Jersey Midi Dress” ($1,795).

She sent a message with her outfit, pairing her figure-hugging long-sleeved dress with bright purple suede pumps to contrast with her green frock — colors that represent the feminist movement when combined.
According to the International Women’s Day website, green, which represents hope, and purple, which is the color of International Women’s Day, have been combined with white to represent the women’s movement since 1908.
Markle, who said she faced “very real” threats in the UK, added to the theme of the event with the Logan Hollowell emerald pendant ($3,450), which she previously wore with a jumpsuit while shopping with a friend last month.
According to the brand, the stone “benefits intellect, communication, decision making, and promotes truthfulness and honesty, seeing beyond the superficial,” in addition to representing one of the colors of women’s rights.
Her overall look is similar to the duchess’s green Emilia Wickstead cape dress, which she wore to the Commonwealth Day service in 2020, her final official appearance before leaving the UK and moving to California.
During last night’s benefit, which cost $5,000 per table, Markle spoke with Indiana Rabbi Sandy Sasso, who became the Reconstructionist movement’s first woman rabbi.
“Women’s Fund is proud to welcome Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, to Indianapolis. The Duchess is a mother, feminist, and champion of human rights.

“She is a lifelong advocate for women and girls, a constant thread she weaves through humanitarian and business ventures,” the organization wrote on its website.
While Markle’s public appearances in the United States are few and far between these days, we’ll get another royal fashion moment when she joins Prince Harry at the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation Ripple of Hope Gala in New York on December 6.
