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 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! 🤔

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Allsorts Sun 05-Oct-25 16:55:34

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

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

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

Doesn’t even look like her

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).

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.

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

No sheets on Harry’s bed then

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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