Megan’s choice of outfit at the Endeavour awards, what was the stylist thinking? Is it a dress? Is it a shirt tucked in wrong?I have been liking her styling lately but someone missed the mark tonight!

I think she looked horrible but I am not a fan of a "tight" look for pregnant women. Showing off the swollen stomach to the other parent makes sense but I am a little tired of the current trend to show every last bit to all and sundry.

I think Meghan chooses her own outfits. I very much doubt whether a stylist has the last word.

It looks fine - there is a fashion now for accentuating the bump rather than hiding in a tent. Good for her!

I thought she looked ok but definitely not the outfit for an awards ceremony.
The open necked shirt with rolled up sleeves was totally inappropriate but hey...better than some awards outfits we see.

Poor Megan she seems to be pilloried no matter what she does... the press is stirring up the whole time ! Everyone should let her be !

The comment, It's none of our business' always has me scratching my head. hmm

crystaltipps. Brilliant! I haven't even seen her pics actually. Too boring.

Looked fine and far better than most ‘maternity wear’ and ..... fabulous shoes, wish I could still manage heels! ?

I love how we all become top stylists when we see celebs out and about! I hope none of us ever leave ho.e looking anything but perfect!??????

Who cares if we don't like her outfit, or think the stylist's taken leave of her senses, or if Meghan isn't dressing in a way that we think is suitable?

It's none of our business. Her presence at an engagement is what's important, not what she's wrapped up in.

I've not seen the outfit, nor will I bother going and looking for it.

I'm quite sure that MY style would draw some equally unkind comments, so I stick with what my mum told me - if you've nothing good to say, say nothing.

Much better to celebrate the bump than to hide it. I didn't like the outfit much but it's her choice. I don't suppose she'd be keen on the elderly hoody I'm wearing today! (MM still reminds me very much of Wallis Simpson.)

I must be old-fashioned, I would rather see 'bumps' less defined, it is much more of an elegant look rather than the trend of 'tight' fitting clothes accentuating the shape, but that's just my humble opinion.

I must admit I thought her outfit was stylish and a great choice for a tall and slim business woman but Meghan can afford to wear something a bit more frivolous.
It must be gutting though to not be able to leave the house without your choice of clothing being pulled apart by critics.

Ooo and did you see what Harry was wearing! That colour just doesn't suit his hair colour. And his shoes.... so uncomfortable looking, fancy having to stand around in those all day! But for a father-to-be he scrubs up quite well and, do you know, I don't think he stroked his bump once!

jura2 Fri 08-Feb-19 15:20:18

Fair enough - but why make such a fuss about it?!?

Smiley4 Fri 08-Feb-19 15:09:28

I thought she looked awful. As do I, on many an occasion. I’m sure. ?
But she has stylists that are paid a lot of money and clothes that cost a lot of money.
Some things she wears I like. But on this occasion, i didn’t like it.

Tangerine Fri 08-Feb-19 15:03:15

People don't seem to wear traditional maternity wear these days, do they?

I think Meghan usually looks great. She can't be perfect 100% of the time. Who is?

MissAdventure Fri 08-Feb-19 14:56:31

It does look like a strange choice, but she looks absolutely glowing.

loopyloo Fri 08-Feb-19 14:54:31

It looked like a school blouse from Tesco with a black skirt. Dreadful.

FlexibleFriend Fri 08-Feb-19 14:53:36

I'm not a Meghan watcher so had to check it out and she looks like a pregnant woman in a skirt and blouse to me. It's hard to ware waisted items when your waist has disappeared.
She looked good.

Riggie Fri 08-Feb-19 14:48:03

Looks a mess. I assume it's separates as the blouse seems to be coming out and the sleeves just pushed up anyhow!! Just goes to show that money doesnt buy good taste!!

Meta Fri 08-Feb-19 14:46:35

Her choice. I think she loooks fine. How awful to be criticised when so heavily pregnant - no one feels particularly glamorous then I’m sure.

Riverwalk Fri 08-Feb-19 14:13:22

Not her best outfit IMO, but she did look radiant!

Nice to see her looking a bit fat of face, like the rest of us likely did grin

Beammeupscottie Fri 08-Feb-19 14:03:53

I remember some god-awful maternity pinafore dress I wore except for one occasion at a big event when I word a black and white outfit like MM. Women look much nicer now than they did in the last century; the plan is not to hide but to celebrate pregnancy.

Greytin94 Fri 08-Feb-19 14:00:16

I think she looks great in her outfit at this event.
I feel sorry for her that she’s judged on everything she wears. I wouldn’t want to be subjected to public criticism every time I get dressed.
