Meghan Markle Stuns in Bespoke Christopher John Rogers Dress and £7,000 Worth of Accessories at NAACP Image Awards

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, looked stunning as she joined her husband, Prince Harry, to accept the President's Award at the NAACP Image Awards.

The event was held on Saturday, February 20th, 2021, and was broadcast virtually.

Meghan wore a bespoke Christopher John Rogers dress worth an estimated £2,000 and accessorized it with £7,000 worth of jewellery.

The bespoke blue ombre dress had a flowing cape and was designed by New York-based black designer Christopher John Rogers.

It was made from a four-ply silk custom creation and chiffon bust overlay.

Christopher revealed that Meghan approached him a month ago, and they had a video call to meet.

He was immediately struck by her warmth and overall demeanour, her sense of ease and confidence within herself.

They quickly touched on the idea of a reveal, and Meghan hadn't really stepped out like this in a while.

Meghan sported Princess Diana's yellow gold Omega chain cuff bracelet, which she first sported during her royal tour of Australia with Prince Harry in 2018, and her £260,000 engagement ring.

She also wore a £930 Celeste shoe from Aquasura.

The gold sling backs are leather and embellished with 105 crystals.

A long-term fan of the footwear brand, Markle has worn designs from the Italian fashion house of dozens of occasions, most notably for her engagement announcement.

She added a further touch of glam with £200 14-carat gold-plated Alexis Bataar earrings and a £5,900 Cartier Love bracelet.

However, some people on social media criticized Meghan's outfit, saying that no amount of money can buy taste nor style.

Another comment said, “in the words of Dolly Parton, it costs a lot of money to look this cheap.”

A third wrote, “if you get an award for that little, over such a short time, what do the charity volunteers deserve who work for decades?”

The NAACP Awards were meant to commemorate those who have done serious good, and some people believe that the Sussexes are officially desperate.

While they have shown elements of desperation before, their display at the NAACP Awards shows how much.

From Meghan's dress being a modern copy of Diana's infamous off-the-shoulder blue dress to her hair being styled after Catherine, it's clear they need help.

Some people believe that Markle has no form of originality in her blood.

She copies everyone else's style and passes it off as her own.

Ultimately, this is of no surprise, given that she has a Diana obsession.

Moreover, some people believe that the dress is too elaborate for an award ceremony like the NAACP.

It would be suitable for the Oscars, the Emmys, or the Golden Globes.

Also, the train is too reminiscent of the monstrosity of the red gown she wore to the Intrepid Gala.

Going back to the blue dress at the NAACP Awards, it didn't cover Meghan's bust area properly.

It looks loose.

Oh, and it's clear Markle is emulating Diana as she is wearing one of the late Princess of Wales bracelets.

Some people on social media are saying it might be a copy, but we think it's the real one.

While it might seem like a coincidence that NAACP and the Sussexes have the same public relations firm in Sunshine Saks, it's not.

The pair presumably bought their award as they are desperate to be seen as a big deal.
