Meghan Markle Radiates Modern Elegance in Ralph Lauren at TIME100 Summit as She Unveils Her Lifestyle Brand
On April 23, 2025, Meghan Markle stepped into the spotlight at the prestigious TIME100 Summit held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. Appearing alongside Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex delivered more than just a keynote speech she delivered a masterclass in contemporary style and branding. Dressed head to toe in Ralph Lauren, Meghan redefined what a power suit looks like in 2025. The event also marked the official public debut of her highly anticipated lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
The Look: Polished, Feminine, and Unapologetically Refined
Meghan’s outfit for the occasion was a triumph of effortless sophistication. She wore a sand-colored silk-linen blazer and pleated wide-leg trousers both from Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2025 collection. Underneath, a fluid white silk georgette blouse, also Ralph Lauren, offered an airy contrast to the clean structure of her tailoring. The look was finished with a camel leather belt, subtly cinching the waist, and camel suede pumps by Manolo Blahnik.
Her accessories were classic Markle: meaningful, minimalist, and high-end. She wore the Cartier Tank Française watch once owned by Princess Diana, a Cartier Love bracelet, a delicate diamond tennis bracelet, and gold earrings from Tabayer all understated but deeply symbolic.
Beauty-wise, she kept things fresh and modern: a light, glowing complexion, neutral makeup tones, and softly waved, shoulder-length chocolate brown hair. It was the kind of look that whispers luxury rather than shouting it firmly in line with the “quiet luxury” trend dominating 2025 fashion.
The Message: Empowerment Through Entrepreneurship
Though her fashion stole attention, Meghan’s message was equally compelling. During her panel discussion, she shared personal insights about entrepreneurship, motherhood, and balance, and introduced her new brand, American Riviera Orchard.
The lifestyle label which debuted via a carefully curated Instagram page is inspired by the Duchess’s California life in Montecito. The name itself pays tribute to the region, often referred to as “the American Riviera.” The brand’s first product launch included items like confitures, olive oil, homeware, and the now-viral “Sparkle Flowers” edible, floral garnishes that appeared in Meghan’s upcoming Netflix series With Love, Meghan.
She revealed that all eight initial products sold out in under an hour, cementing the brand as one of the most anticipated lifestyle launches of the year.
“I’m happier than I’ve ever been,” Meghan shared with the audience, emphasizing that family, creativity, and meaningful work are now at the core of her life.
From the neutral tones of her impeccably tailored Ralph Lauren suit to the quietly confident tone of her voice, Meghan Markle’s appearance at the TIME100 Summit was a showcase of modern leadership, authentic storytelling, and timeless elegance. By blending style and substance with a personal mission, Meghan continues to shape a post-royal identity that is as compelling as it is inspiring proving that true influence starts with staying rooted in who you are.
