Megan Markle’s fashion choice and her latest public appearance have ignited a discussion, as she seemed to have overlooked the weather report before stepping out in a coat.

On Friday, Megan and Prince Harry surprised everyone by attending Kevin Costner’s Oceanside fundraiser for the charity 1805.

Megan opted for Carolina Herrera for the second time in a week, donning an oversized black and white herringbone cape by the designer.

She completed her look with black pants and heels.

This marked the second occasion where she chose Herrera, as she previously wore a denim shirt dress from the brand during the penultimate day of the Invictus Games in Germany last week.

War commentator Daniela Elsa, while speaking to News.com Australia, commented on Megan’s unconventional summer outfit, suggesting that she may have been trying to stand out.

Elsa also mentioned Prince Harry’s all-black attire, stating that he seemed out of place as well.

Pictures captured Harry wearing an all-black ensemble, resembling someone auditioning for a Johnny Cash tribute act, while Megan sported a confusing combination of poncho and short-sleeved coat, despite the temperature being around 21 degrees.

Elsa humorously wrote, “Which might suggest some high-end designer is looking to try and crack the hoodie market.”

She further questioned why Megan keeps wearing heavy winter garments on warm days, making it seem like she’s off to bobsleigh in G-Stad.

A fan theory has emerged, suggesting that Megan deliberately wore a fake coat to undermine Carolina Herrera’s reputation.

Carolina Herrera’s official account posted the original version of the cape, which featured sleeves and was paired with pants and shoes.

However, Megan appeared to be wearing what seemed to be counterfeit versions of the designer’s creation.

This move by the brand has raised doubts about whether one of their competitors may have enlisted Megan to wear a replica of Carolina Herrera’s design intentionally, in order to create a less favorable impression.

Carolina Herrera’s alleged estrangement from Megan can be traced back to a dispute when the Duchess declined to pay for their services.

Now, Megan seems to be attempting to embrace Carolina Herrera as a brand, emphasizing its American roots and historical significance with first ladies.

However, her choice of Carolina Herrera attire has faced criticism, as it consistently fails to align with the fashion sensibilities or image of the brand.

Megan’s recent fashion choice, in particular, has raised questions about its appropriateness for the occasion.

Santa Barbara’s September weather typically features pleasant warmth and gentle breezes, with daytime temperatures ranging from around 28 degrees Celsius to lows of around 17.

The garment she wore seemed odd for the occasion, but what drew even more attention was her attempt to keep the cape in place by holding her arms at the right angles.

Fashion experts have weighed in, pointing out that Megan once again wore a perfectly nice piece of clothing but failed to wear it correctly.

The cape is not meant to be cinched tightly, and it appears to be designed for someone taller with broader shoulders.

Some critics have even compared her to a child playing dress-up in an adult’s closet.

The controversy surrounding Megan’s outfit at Kevin Costner’s charity event has certainly sparked conversation about her fashion choices.

Whether intentional or not, her decision to wear a fake version of Carolina Herrera’s cape has cast doubt on the relationship between the brand and the Duchess.
