Paris Hilton and Kate Middleton's dress sparks Meghan Markle buzz

Fans are buzzing over Paris Hilton's choice to wear a $4,600 Jenny Packham gown previously seen on Kate Middleton, with some speculating it was a subtle dig at Meghan Markle.

The 44 year old socialite looked drop-dead gorgeous in the icy blue 'Lovebird' dress at both the the Baby2Baby charity gala and Kris Jenner's James Bond themed birthday party on November 8 events that were also attended by Meghan, 44. 

Kate Middleton, 43, first wore the same design in gold at the 2021 No Time to Die premiere. 

Meanwhile, Meghan joined the Baby2Baby gala at West Hollywood's Pacific Design Center before heading with Prince Harry to Kris Jenner's star-studded celebration.

The exclusive bash was held at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's $165 million Beverly Hills estate, TMZ reported.

Some fans believe Paris deliberately wore the gown to reference Kate while appearing at events Meghan attended, hinting at a subtle royal-inspired statement.

They wrote on Reddit: 'Murkle must have had a near-stroke when she saw that dress on Paris and immediately knew that she was wearing it to the 007-Themed Birthday Party.' 

'I believe it. Probably one of the reasons our duchess of yachts was p***ed off. I love that. I like Paris Hilton now after this.' 'Now That is what we can definitely calla 'sweet nod'! Nicely played, Paris!

Others insist the timing was coincidental, suggesting Paris likely had no knowledge of Meghan's plans. 

Many commentators also argue that Paris' choice was purely thematic-after all, Kate wore it to a James Bond premiere, making it a natural fit for Kris Jenner's Bond-themed party rather than a deliberate message.
