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!

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 🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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

Oh really? 🤔

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

Mollygo Sun 05-Oct-25 11:09:32

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.

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 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

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.

She looks like a Halloween ghost, certainly not elegant or classy.

Allira Sun 05-Oct-25 10:39:26

The Beckham daughter, Harper, looks such a sweet girl!

And why criticise the OP, eddiecat?
Perhaps you missed this bit?

Or didn't understand it?

Perhaps that is because she usually looks so much better and stylish!

I don't think she got it right this time.

Does anyone here wear all white? Have sometimes toyed with the idea of a white dress or outfit but knowing me and my family and friends one of us is sure to spill something on me.
The slightest mark would show!🫣

Yes I often wear all white in the summer at home and abroad.

I have white floaty linen trousers, white jeans or various lengths and styles, white dresses, and probably far too many white tops.

Do you drink red wine GrannyGravy? 🍷

I'd need one of those Dickie bibs when I was eating with all that white fabric.

Yes, emerald green is definitely Meghan's best colour, in fact she looks best in any strong colours, peacock blue, red.

JenniferEccles Sun 05-Oct-25 10:27:04

It certainly swamped her.
It would have looked much better if she had just stuck to the trouser suit with maybe a smaller white pashmina.

She looks absurd.

Crossstitchfan Sun 05-Oct-25 10:19:45

I think the outfit is hideous. It’s shapeless and lacking in interest. Her hair scraped back is a no-no too (how on earth does she think it looks good?)
I don’t think I have ever seen her look so awful.
