Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix Christmas special With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration features her in a green one-shoulder Galvan gown previously worn for a 2022 Variety shoot.
A fashion source tells Page Six that Markle, “took the dress from the shoot without asking,” confirming rumblings that the pricey one-shoulder, emerald green Galvan “Ushuaia” gown had disappeared from the photo shoot.
The spokesperson tells PEOPLE the reports that she took the clothing without permission are “categorically false” and “highly defamatory”
According to a source familiar with industry practices, it’s standard for talent to retain select items from photo shoots — sometimes for security reasons, including to prevent potential resale or unauthorized auction.
In 2024, journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis claimed on Andrew Gold’s “Heretics” podcast that Meghan took “a lot of stuff” after a high-profile photoshoot. “What’s shocking about hearing these kinds of alleged stories is that somebody living in a $15-million-plus mansion in Montecito, who’s had $100-million deals, would care enough to take home some jewelry and clothes from a photoshoot she can afford,” Grigoriadis said.
In October this year, Markle was spotted in a black-and-white, tweed strapless midi dress designed by Chanel during a date night with Prince Harry at private NYC club Chez Margaux.
She had previously worn the designer piece for a photoshoot in 2022 for The Cut.
