Style & beauty

A trouser creation par excellence.

Meghan swans into a Paris fashion show wearing a voluminous trouser outfit in white. For the first time, I'm close to awarding her douze points, and the fashion experts seem impressed too!

Just a shame the bodyguard with her wore a crumpled shirt and ill-fitting suit. Certainly no Frank Farmer!

I didn't realise it was Have A Go At Meghan Day.
If it was anyone other than her there would be lots of posts objecting to a woman being vilified for her appearance.
I really don't understand why anyone would start a post that is solely aimed at encouraging criticism - including the provocative title

Actually nothing to do with Meghan herself. Let's nip this in the bud.

Forum - Style and Beauty = the trouser outfit
Thread title - par excellence = awesome, exceptional, even quintessential
Opening Post = douze points = admiration.

Thanks to those on here who get it.
Oh, and by the way, today isn't Have a Go at Meghan Day. It's actually Get Funky Day, so we're on the right track, (or catwalk runway).

I got it 😁

Not that I agree with you but that's because I think it swamps her and because I'm not a fan of all white either.
Just my opinion but I've seen her look so much better.

We all make the wrong choices sometimes - or often in my case.

I bought the wrong trousers in the summer! Never worn.

I thought she was attending an audition for a part in a religious themed drama/murder mystery……..,her supposedly being an actress and all that 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Sorry but I still feel this is too close to the Daily Mail showing an unflattering photo of a celebrity, with a headline saying how wonderful she looks (eg "flaunting her sensational weight loss") because they know it will attract thousands of negative comments

Yes escaped I did read your OP which wasn’t a have a go post.
I wore all white frequently this summer, but I went for a less swamped look because I worry about tripping over.

Oh really? 🤔

That's a very negative view and sounds like an attack on the OP in fact.

pably15 Sun 05-Oct-25 11:14:24

oh no, that looks horrible, hope she doesn't trip ..

twinnytwin Sun 05-Oct-25 11:24:25

The Daily Mail did cover this story with the headline "Ooh la, la, just look who's back! Paris Fashion Week lures Meghan to Europe". Her outfit was simply described and the reason why she's there (to support the debut collection of Balenciaga's designer). No slagging her off or any nastiness.

There you go. Oh, and I like the outfit (not so much the scraped back hair).

As my late mother would have said “ what DOES she think she looks like”
She was very sarky and opinionated but it would have fitted the bill here.
Meghan wanted to make a statement, look at me.
She couldn’t really be missed.

Pantglas2 Sun 05-Oct-25 11:35:47

I think she often wears clothes in a size up from one that fits and unfortunately her lack of height means she’s swamped by them - not a good look IMO.

Oreo Sun 05-Oct-25 11:37:38

It’s not about who’s wearing it, it’s all about the outfit which we can admire or criticise as we like.It’s Paris fashion week.

butterandjam Sun 05-Oct-25 11:41:32

The extraordinary thing is how many of her clothes just don't fit properly. She must pay a fortune for them yet they look as if she bought them off the peg in the wrong size. I've noticed the same thing on Melania Trumps clothes.

She’s an attractive woman. Dark hair so strong colours suit her. All white is in vogue at present. Geri Horner anybody? I’ve got white jeans (somewhere) and white linen trousers (ditto) but I’ve never paired the with a white top. Maybe next summer, when by then fashion will have moved on again and I’ll be once more behind the curve. 😁

The curve is always with me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

kittylester Sun 05-Oct-25 11:51:42

I've got lots of curves- in all the wrong places. Xl

kittylester Sun 05-Oct-25 11:53:17

No idea how XL got there - but it's not wrong.

The Daily Mail must be delighted with all the free publicity on here, on, seemingly, every topic whether it’s relevant or not.

An unravelling shroud.
What happens when you need the loo?

Also interesting is the fact that Balenciaga brand ambassador Nicole Kidman was absent.
Maybe that’s why seats were available.

That said why would anyone support Balenciaga after that scandal?

Tawdry at best.

Aldom Sun 05-Oct-25 12:37:43

Of the two I would award the points to the bodyguard for his outfit. He looks clean and tidy to me.
I don't favour the 'just fallen out of bed' look of Meghan's outfit.

Yes, it's a sad day when we're not allowed to be fashion critics! Some people have made a very good living doing just that.

However, although I wasn't keen on Meghan's outfit, it was a darn sight better than some of the frankly ridiculous outfits we've seen coming down catwalks over the years.

Happygirl79 Sun 05-Oct-25 13:49:09

I think that she looks totally overwhelmed by all that fabric.
She is certainly no 'A lister' in my opinion.

LadyGracie Sun 05-Oct-25 15:22:49

No sheets on Harry’s bed then

Oreo Sun 05-Oct-25 15:29:51

Only a tall slim woman could carry it off. On Meghan, even in heels she’s simply too short and her hair needed to be put up loosely or left long to counteract the amount of fabric.As it is, her head looks like a pea on a drum.

Ziplok Sun 05-Oct-25 15:35:07

I agree that Meghan suits white, but I also agree with the posters who think that particular outfit swamps her. She usually looks very well turned out, but in my opinion, that outfit doesn’t suit her. (Of course, it could be the angle of the photo, but I don’t think so).
