Meghan Markle has once again become the center of attention — the 44-year-old wife of Prince Harry graces the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar. The magazine’s Instagram shared fresh photos from the shoot, where the Duchess showcases a restrained yet luxurious aesthetic.
The cover follows a minimalist style: Meghan poses in a Dior jacket worn over bare skin, paired with straight-cut trousers. Her hair is pulled back into a soft, deliberately effortless updo, and the only accessory she wears is a pair of Tiffany & Co. earrings. In another shot, she sits in a chair wearing an elegant one-shoulder Ferragamo dress — a look that feels softer, more relaxed.
A bold pop of color comes from a striking red Balenciaga gown, adding contrast and intensity to the series. The photoshoot was done by renowned photographer Malik Bodian, known for working with global icons from Naomi Campbell to Tilda Swinton.
However, the public reaction has been far from unanimous. Comments under the magazine’s posts were harsh: “The most boring cover,” “So bland, as always,” “The royal family shot her exactly like this,” “Why does she avoid any prints or bold choices?” users wondered.
