Meghan Markle takes the stage in a chic business casual.
Meghan Markle has spent International Women's Day inspiring audiences with her dedication to equal and honest gender representation in the media. At the same time, she has made another entry in her catalog of memorable business casual outfits.
On Friday, 3/8, the Duchess of Sussex arrived at South by Southwest (Sxsw) in Austin, Texas, to present the festival's keynote panel, Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On And Off The Screen.Prince Harry reportedly sat in the front row to watch her speak.
The philanthropist walked on stage in a monochrome business-casual separate: a delicately striped button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbow and coordinated a maxi skirt. Both works were in favor of Giuliba Heritage, an Italian label led by a wife-husband duo. A pointy-toe mule matching by Valentino peered from under her skirt.

Markle played the creamy tones of her outfit with hints of gold jewelry, including knotted Bottega Veneta hoop earrings and a stack of gold rings as she kept her beauty shine and minimal, with a touch of pink blush and free-flowing waves pulled over one shoulder.
At the time of publication, the designer behind Markle's separates was not shared. Soon after, @WhatMegWore identified Silk Separate as a matching set by the Italian label Giuliva Heritage.
Knowing the Duchess of Sussex's attention to detail, onlookers were expecting a credit that included a female-led brand in honor of International Women's Day. Throughout her time in the public eye, Markle has frequently chosen designers for conversations and appearances related to the places and topics she is discussing. In this case, the designers behind Giuliva Heritage have a backstory for the panel on the representation of women.Partners Margherita and Gerardo founded the label in 2017 to provide women with the same precisely tailored garments that are usually reserved for menswear. Today, the brand is still known for its "feminine reinterpretation of classic menswear silhouettes," like the button-down shirt and silk skirt that Markle chose for the panel.
Markle appeared alongside Katie Couric, Erin Haynes, Brooke Shields and Nancy Wan Yun to discuss the representation of women in the media. She spoke about sponsoring the groundbreaking study "Rewriting Motherhood: How TV Represents Moms and What We Want To See Next" through the Archewell Foundation, in partnership with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.
"My past experience as an actress, and now today as a producer and mother, is an important weight of supporting women and mothers both behind the lens and in front of it."
