Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made headlines once again as she stepped out in a black flowing maxi skirt for the premiere of the new Bob Marley film in Jamaica.
Fashion experts speculated that the bespoke design was from Carolina Herrera, a renowned fashion brand.
However, some netizens accused Meghan of deliberately wearing a fake skirt to undermine Carolina Herrera’s reputation.
Critics pointed out that the skirt appeared to be a knock-off or poorly fitted, deviating from the original design showcased on the brand’s website.
They noted that the waistband was supposed to be higher, resembling a matador style, and the plaits were uneven, causing the skirt to puff out over the hips.
Additionally, the zipper did not sit properly.
These observations led some to believe that Meghan may have been hired by brand competitors to tarnish Carolina Herrera’s reputation.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Meghan’s fashion choices have sparked controversy.
In the past, she faced backlash after wearing a red dress by Carolina Herrera to the 2021 Salute to Freedom Gala.
Social media users mocked her, and a Netflix documentary even captured a behind-the-scenes moment of Meghan being sewn into the dress by a team of stylists.
Amidst the fitting process, Prince Harry, Meghan’s husband, jokingly urged the producers to capture the moment when the stylists disappeared under the bottom of the dress.
The clip also revealed how the dress was tailored to fit Meghan’s shape, with adjustments made across the bust and waist.
While the scene showcased the collaborative effort between Meghan and the dressmakers, it also fueled speculation that Meghan’s diva-like behavior may have contributed to the ill-fitting dress.
Rumors have circulated that Carolina Herrera has banned Meghan from wearing their new designs due to the sartorial curse associated with her.
Critics argue that Meghan cheapens everything she wears and suggest that the brand should pay her not to wear their clothes.
However, Meghan seems determined to align herself with Carolina Herrera, emphasizing its American roots and historical significance with first ladies.
Despite her efforts, Meghan continues to face criticism for her fashion choices.
Critics argue that her selections do not align well with her own fashion sensibilities or the brand’s image.
Some speculate that her estrangement from Carolina Herrera can be traced back to a dispute over payment for their services.
As Meghan Markle’s influence in the fashion world remains a subject of debate, one thing is certain: her fashion choices will continue to generate headlines and spark discussions among fashion enthusiasts and critics alike.
