In a recent appearance, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, donned a black flowing maxi skirt that raised eyebrows and sparked controversy.
Fashion experts were quick to point out that the skirt seemed suspiciously similar to a Carolina Herrera design, albeit a poorly executed knockoff.
The choice of attire, coupled with extravagant accessories, has left many questioning Meghan’s fashion sense.
The skirt, which Meghan seemingly tried to pass off as a bespoke Carolina Herrera creation, failed to impress the fashion police on Instagram.
Observers noted that the waistband was supposed to be higher, resembling a matador style, while the alteration appeared to have caused uneven pleats and an ill-fitting silhouette.
The zipper also seemed out of place, further fueling speculation about the legitimacy of the garment.
Conspiracy theories have emerged, suggesting that Meghan may have been hired by Carolina Herrera’s competitors to tarnish the brand’s reputation.
Such tactics have been employed in the past, with Louis Vuitton gifting Gucci purses to the cast of Jersey Shore.
However, others argue that Meghan simply has a knack for cheapening whatever she wears, making designers wary of associating their creations with her.
Rumors even circulated that Carolina Herrera had banned Meghan from wearing their new designs altogether.
It appears that the brand has fallen victim to what some call the “sartorial curse of Meghan.”
This curse entails having one’s beautiful creations butchered by the Duchess of Disaster herself.
A prime example of this was when Meghan wore a red dress by Carolina Herrera to the 2021 Salute to Freedom Gala, resulting in a fashion disaster of epic proportions.
YouTube sensation Ibbledibble has his own theory, claiming that Meghan’s diva behavior angered the head honcho at Carolina Herrera.
According to him, the ill-fitting dress was intentionally designed to mess with Meghan’s head.
Allegedly, she demanded that the entire crew fit the dress at her less-than-ideal location, lacking proper lighting and mirrors.
The drama surrounding Meghan’s fashion choices seems to know no bounds.
Carolina Herrera’s estrangement from Meghan can be traced back to a dispute over payment for their services.
Despite this, Meghan appears to be desperately trying to adopt Carolina Herrera as her go-to brand, emphasizing its American roots and historical significance with first ladies.
Unfortunately, her fashion choices consistently clash with the brand’s sensibilities, ultimately tarnishing its image.
It is safe to say that Meghan Markle is the last thing Carolina Herrera needs right now.
As the Duchess of Drama continues to make headlines with her questionable fashion choices, designers may think twice before allowing her to sport their creations.
Whether it’s a genuine misstep or a deliberate attempt to ruffle feathers, Meghan’s presence in the fashion world continues to raise eyebrows and elicit strong reactions.
