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!

Doesn’t even look like her

I thought this was about the silver trousers worn by Tom on Strictly!

I think Megan's looks beautiful. Elegant but cool.
She could be dressed by the leading-lights of high fashion and still be criticized! Too many people read as verbatim everything thats written about her.
Let Megan & Harry be happy & safe, wearing paper-bags if they so wish to! 🤔

I thought that Tom was a relevation in Strictly. Brilliant.😊

Didn't she look in the mirror? She looks entangled by two sheets. Bodyguards fine.

She looks an absolute fright. Almost as awful as Angela Rayner in her hideous green trouser suit! 🤣😝😝

No.

She usually looks better than that.

I think we are allowed to comment on fashion, aren't we, without someone coming along to tell us off?

It didn't suit her. It was a fashion faux pas imo.

The suit I wore for DD's graduation was a fashion faux pas too, I've hidden the photo, and at least I'm not famous!

So many auld grannies tripping over each other to criticise a young woman, each trying to win the funniest nastiest comment award.

Are you not old or a granny OldFrill? She isn’t really a young woman btw surely early or mid 40’s.
Anyone in the public eye can be lauded or criticised for what they wear.Especially those who enjoy the limelight.

I think it was the cape that overwhelmed her to be honest.
She changed into a black dress later by the same designer, Pierpaolo, which was less voluminous and a bit neater on her small frame.

That's a rather insulting comment isn't it? Why would you assume anybody's criticism of the outfit is because of what they've read? Is your opinion that she looks beautiful in the outfit genuine or influenced by what you perceive about her?
Of course she can wear a paper bag if she wishes, might be a tad unwise in the rain but hey ho. For what it's worth many have complimented her appearance in bright jewel colours and I said she suits white, but I think the outfit is too voluminous and swamps her. I notice you're not offended by the remarks about the bodyguard's outfit.

A pudding, definitely over-egged.

merlotgran Sun 05-Oct-25 19:35:19

Meghan is an ‘influencer.’ That means she wants people to emulate everything she does or she won’t earn the squillions she’s hoping for.
That gives us the right to make negative comments if we want to.
Nobody is mentioning Harry because he wasn’t even there - unless she’d manage to smuggle him in under the layers of sheet.

Lathyrus3 Sun 05-Oct-25 19:37:28

Oh come on ilovedogs.

Meghan wore an outfit with impact so that she would be noticed and talked about. That’s the purpose of celebrity events and dress. So why shouldn’t people comment, like they would for any celebrity who has ‘dressed up”.

She certainly achieved that but, in most people’s opinion, it wasn’t flattering. It was styled for catwalk models who are rarely less than 5’ 10.

Don’t you think she usually looks better than this?

Aldom Sun 05-Oct-25 19:48:45

Old Frill if I had gone shopping with my daughter and she had asked my opinion of herself wearing the white outfit seen in the photos of Meghan, I would have been honest and told her not to buy it. It's not flattering. I've seen Meghan look much more attractive than in these photos.

Nightsky2 Sun 05-Oct-25 19:59:50

I think she looks stunning.

Lathyrus3 Sun 05-Oct-25 20:05:22

What is it that you particularly admire nightsky?

It’s a genuine question, because I really don’t see it. Bviously it had impact, but I really thought it made her look much older and, well just not at her best.

Redrobin51 Sun 05-Oct-25 20:07:03

Sorry it absolutely swamps her.

Usedtobeblonde Sun 05-Oct-25 20:07:50

She looked very good in the black outfit so I feel justified in saying that the white outfit was a mistake and she did not look good in it.
In my opinion it was for maximum effect, nothing more.

I agree.

Can't we criticise fashion any more?
(I'm not posting that photo of my trouser suit!)

62Granny Sun 05-Oct-25 20:17:29

Not a fan of "The Big I am Meghan" but what I don't understand is she went in wearing white but came out wearing black? Perhaps like Oreo said she spilled something on it.

Allira Sun 05-Oct-25 20:22:43

Here it is:

Now this suits her! I'd like to wear this but I can't afford it, I'm too old and don't have lovely arms any more.

It won't download, but it's the lbd.

Allira Sun 05-Oct-25 20:25:02

It did download!

Lathyrus3. What is it you particularly admire.

I think she really does look stunning in this outfit. I love white and wore it a lot when I was younger and still wear it when the sun is shining. She might have looked a bit out of place in the local pub wearing it but as it was a fashion show in Paris I think she got it right.

I think she’s a very stylish woman who knows how to dress even if others disagree.
