Belle, the singer, appeared to take a subtle dig at Meghan Markle as she accompanied her fiancé, Rich Paul, to an NBA game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The couple sat courtside, and Belle opted for a sporty look, donning a grey hooded tracksuit set paired with coordinated trainers.
Her choice of attire was fitting for a basketball game.
In contrast, Meghan’s outfit garnered criticism when she and Harry attended a Lakers game.
Meghan wore a pink short suit, complemented by a Prada handbag and Aquazura high heels.
She completed her look with neutral makeup and a golden tan.
Stylist Tavia Sharp expressed her opinion on Meghan’s fashion choice, stating that the pink linen suit would have been more appropriate for a high-end polo match or a posh daytime event.
Sharp emphasized that it did not suit the basketball game and seemed out of place.
Sharp further commented on Meghan’s awareness of being in the VIP box and the presence of cameras.
Comparing her to Kim Kardashian, Sharp mentioned that even when Beyonce attends games, she opts for a more casual attire, although still incorporating high fashion brands.
According to Sharp, Meghan could have pulled off a jeans-and-nice-top combination.
The stylist noted that the vibrant pink suit stood out among the navy, grey, and tan-white outfits worn by others in her box, creating tension.
Additionally, the suit appeared crumpled and frumpy, failing to flatter Meghan’s shape.
The pink flamingo short suit was designed by Styled, a label owned by the wife of WME’s owner.
WME is Meghan’s new talent agency.
In the world of fashion, a public appearance by a high-profile individual can greatly impact a brand.
Unfortunately for Styled, Meghan’s association has led to negative feedback.
Customers expressed their disappointment, criticizing the brand for recycling an old style and for its perceived elitism.
Sharp highlighted a previous occasion where Meghan wore white shorts to a match at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club in May.
The stylist approved of that outfit as it was suitable for the event.
Sharp emphasized that pink linen was not the right choice for a basketball game, given its breathable yet naturally wrinkled nature.
It was surprising that Meghan opted for this outfit while constantly standing up and sitting down in high heels.
Basketball games are known for their casual atmosphere, where suits or Bermuda shorts are rarely seen.
Meghan’s outfit did not align with the event’s ambiance.
In conclusion, Belle’s sporty attire contrasted with Meghan Markle’s controversial pink suit at the NBA game.
While Belle’s choice was appropriate for the occasion, Meghan’s fashion selection received criticism from stylist Tavia Sharp and disappointed customers of the brand she wore.
Sharp emphasized the importance of choosing outfits that fit the context and atmosphere of an event, highlighting Meghan’s previous successful fashion choices at polo matches.
