Meghan Markle’s presence at the Women of Vision Gala not only highlighted her commitment to feminist causes but also captured the attention of everyone present with her radiant styling and her ability to communicate through her body language, imposing her presence and her dexterity to perform at high-profile public events.
The Duchess of Sussex shone at the Gala held in New York, at the prestigious Ziegfeld Ballroom last Tuesday, where she was awarded the Women of Vision 2023 award, given by the Ms. Foundation for Women. For the event, the Duchess of Sussex wore a stunning gold dress by designer Johanna Ortiz, received the award from her friend Gloria Steinem and was accompanied by her husband, Prince Harry, and her mother, Doria Ragland.

Meghan Markle’s body language at Women of Vision 2023
Body language expert Judi James shared her observations with the Express on how the Duchess carried herself throughout the evening, and according to James, “Meghan appeared to be in full ‘goddess’ mode with her golden sheath dress and swept-over hairstyle.”
The expert pointed out that Meghan Markle’s body language showed several different states as she changed poses on the red carpet. On the one hand, she highlighted her open and symmetrical smile which reflected pride, honor, and happiness. On the other hand, her posture showed authentic confidence as her shoulders were relaxed.
However, James also noted a partial barrier in her handshake, as if she wanted to convey humility rather than appearing overly proud.
On the family front, Meghan struck a pose that honored Harry, holding her left arm straight to indicate pride in the family unit. Harry, meanwhile, positioned himself in the center of the family group, with his arms outstretched behind Doria and Meghan’s backs, showing unity.
The expert highlighted Meghan’s interest in adopting this posture that apparently honored Harry, despite her being the star of the evening. Her upward gaze, which reflected adoration, suggested that Harry was her hero. In addition, Harry’s asymmetrical, lopsided smile toward the camera indicated his pride in his wife for the flattering attention she was receiving at the moment.
As for Meghan’s styling, in addition to the gold dress she complemented her look with Tom Ford heels, and Carolina Herrera clutch and wore the Love bracelet by Cartier, which belonged to Princess Diana.
Hounded by the paparazzi
Meghan Markle’s special day almost ended in tragedy, at least that’s what has been revealed to the spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who reported that the Duchess, her mother, Doria Ragland, and Harry “were involved in a near catastrophic car chase”.
