Is it ever a good idea to dress like the pointed end of a pencil?
That’s the question many have been asking after Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, stepped out in a questionable outfit that left fashion enthusiasts divided.
Dressed in a £245 cream knitted vest from LA-based designer Anin Bing, Megan added a touch of glitz to her ensemble with her late mother-in-law Princess Diana’s £17,800 gold Cartier Tank watch.
She also sported her £5,000 Cartier Love Bangle, her £271,000 engagement ring, and a $3,000 mini gold tennis bracelet designed by Jennifer Mayer.
Completing her look were a pair of £1,000 beige wide leg wool blend trousers from Brandon Maxwell and dainty golden stud earrings.
While some may argue that Megan’s fashion choices are daring and unique, others are not so convinced.
Critics point out that Harry, her husband, has been surrounded by impeccably dressed women his entire life, including his fashion icon mother, sister-in-law, and even his grandmother.
They question how he isn’t embarrassed by her wardrobe choices.
One online user went as far as to criticize Megan’s posture, saying, “Apart from the mismatched and badly fitting outfit, her posture is terrible.”
Another user expressed disappointment in Megan’s choice of clothing, stating, “I will never see the Valentino brand the same way ever again.
She’s ruined it.”
The criticism didn’t stop there.
Many took issue with Megan’s choice of pants, describing them as “ugly” and ill-fitting.
Some even claimed that the pants were altered poorly, as white hemlines were visible at the bottom.
One commentator sarcastically suggested that she used a hotel stitch kit to fix the hemline while Harry pondered the meaning of life in the shower.
It seems that Megan’s fashion choices have not resonated well with everyone, leading some to advise her to seek the advice of others.
On Monday, Megan once again made headlines with her outfit choice at another event.
She wore an eye-catching all-red ensemble, consisting of a bow blouse top and classic trousers from another tomorrow of the opening ceremony.
The blouse and trousers were priced at $1,389 each, while she paired them with Panther 105 cutout suede pumps in red, priced at $717.
However, this outfit also faced criticism from royal fans who questioned the appropriateness of wearing expensive clothing while advocating for female equality.
One person commented, “It might have been better to wear a much less expensive outfit instead of trying to look like a model, only to look once again tone deaf.”
Critics also took issue with Megan’s spray tan, which they believed was an attempt to make her appear more relatable to people of color.
Fashion icons criticized her choice of bright red top, pants, and shoes, suggesting that a softer color like beige or tan would have been more suitable.
Even David Emanuel, the fashion designer known for co-creating Princess Diana’s wedding dress, weighed in on Megan’s fashion choices during an interview on GB News.
He claimed that Megan is trying to mess up the royal family after already causing turmoil within her own family.
He referred to her as “Harry Windsor of America” and criticized her actions, concluding that it is shocking.
Megan Markle’s fashion choices continue to be a topic of debate and scrutiny.
While some admire her boldness and individuality, others believe that her outfits miss the mark.
As a member of the royal family, Megan’s fashion decisions are always under a microscope, with critics quick to express their opinions.
Whether she will adjust her style based on the feedback remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Megan Markle’s fashion choices will continue to be a topic of discussion.
