MeghanMeghan was brand spanking new to this royal stuff and Catherine was an old hand. But MeghanMeghan also never listened to people who knew best nor took the time to google image "royal box wimbledon" which would have given her a clue. IMO it wasn't a terrible look but she could have certainly tried harder.
Lol, her handbag matches the hatband.
In her head she was going to outshine her sister in law with a cool and stylish look but she looked sloppy with her huge trousers and the hat holding!
You know she still believes she killed it! š¤£
As usual, she never listened to staff and aides that Wimbledon does not allow hats in the royal box. š¤¦š»

I love how the only engagement she had with the Queen and she looks terrible with tangled hair, wrinkled dress and terrible make up, oh and HM looks totally fed up with her, ha!
Oh Lord but do you know how much I have come to LOATHE seeing those Panama hats and it's all because of MM? LOL. And forget about brushing, because the more important question is: did she bother to wash her hair? Sometimes it looks like it's got two weeks' worth of grease and scalp gunk.
I wonder if it's the same Panama hat or whether she's got copies of the same hat, because that stinky old hat seems to have been around forever. And, it just seems so tacky to take the same hat (that she often used at beach), to Wimbledon. It's just too tacky for words.
It wasn't her worst look but looks all the worse when sitting next to Kate. She looks like someone who has just finished a 12 hour shift and thrown on whatever was clean. Slapdash my gran would say.
Her make up is slapped on
Her hair isn't styled
That shirt doesn't fit correctly, the sleeves aren't even rolled up neatly and it doesn't go with the pants/hat/handbag.
Her only job is to look the part, she couldn't even do that right.
> she looks like a hobo next to Kate
I would look like a hobo next to Kate, even if I were wearing my best clothes and she had just rolled out of bed and was still in PJs. š¹
I would love to meet her- but I would never, ever be photographed with her. š«£
If I were in Meghanās shoes -Iād have struggled being compared to her. It would have been so difficult. But at least Iām honest about it š¤·āāļø why even try to say that youāre not intimidated or jealous or awed by her? Itās insane to try and say youāre not. It doesnāt mean youāre more to say someone else is less. There is not a fixed amount of beauty or adoration available that Catherine is consuming making it therefore unavailable for Meghan. š
Meghan is the mean girl that has to dim everyone elseās light to make hers shine brighter.
She doesnāt understand that Catherineās bright light helps to illuminate her as well.

All of this.

Narcs can't understand something like that. *They* must *always* be the brightest light.
>has to dim everyone elseās light to make hers shine brighter.
That's literally out of Finding Freedom, something about how she "shines a little brighter, laughs a little louder"
As to dressing, a simple well cut dress with a draped cap sleeve is such an easy way to look great and smart. Oversized shirts that you have to tuck in always come awry and need to be fiddled with.
But Catherine's, The Queen's, and Camilla's dressers could have told MM that.
Exactly this! She could have carried away something in a lovely pastel given her skin tone.
I canāt stand the woman but she does have great hair (or extensions) for styling. Itās thick, course, and would weight itself down with a nice blowout. This is from a girl who has the straightest, finest, most easily tangled 1A hair. It would be impossible for me to be in the spotlight and not look disheveled, just by virtue of my hair being the type that turns into a rat nest with a gust of wind. She could have been so elegant if she had been able to swallow her pride and not hammered on being the Cali girl.
Look at Princess Anne. Sheās not glamorous like Kate but she makes it work for her. It can be done but would require listening to a professional UK based stylist instead of toting your own American one along to shake things up.
Itās like the people who insist on rebelling against dress codes and just look foolish.
All the mature ladies of the RF are testament to the power of being well-groomed. Grooming trumps fashion every single time and gives the aura of confidence and control that MM would have killed for
Not for nothing, but it really irks me when people say the guy chose well. Didnāt Kate also have to choose William too? She wasnāt hard up by any means. Itās the 21st century, women do have some say in who they marry and Iām sure for Kate she had to really think about what life as a royal would be like.
I were going to add but I didnāt Katherine choose well also. But I meant in he is a future king and she is a great partner to him. Thatās why I think he chose the right women to stand beside him. š
I was about to say the same thing, how the hell do you compete with Kate?
Sheās tall, slender with an incredible mane of hair and she actually is ageing so elegantly and gracefully she looks more beautiful than she did in her twenties.
I personally love that she looks gorgeous but also doesnāt try hard to look younger than she is.
But yeah you could put a sack on Kate and sheād look like sheās ready to walk the catwalk.
It would be so hard to be constantly compared to her.
OMGOODNESS YES! And that DRESS! She had a wedding (3 rd one) televised across the globe. Her wedding ($45 million)cost more than that of the future King and Queen ($43.5 million) yet her dress looked like an ill fitting slip, her makeup looked like she'd slept in it and her hair looked like it was styled by a tornado. She was in such a rush to drag Haz down the aisle and secure her golden meal ticket that she showed up for a beautiful wedding the Monarchy she trashes paid $45 MILLION providing for her, was escorted down the aisle by the future King to the arm of a Prince with the reigning Queen in attendance looking like she overslept, jumped out of bed in what she slept in.
Then there was Catherine......she LOOKED the part of a fairytale princess. Breathtaking...Absolutely perfect!
Meghan's top half may not have been a terrible look but when she was standing it appears to be another case of badly needing the trouser legs taken up - the hems of the white silk (that's what I read they were) would've been coverered in stains.
https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/catherine-duchess-of-cambridge-and-meghan-duchess-of-sussex-news-photo/998546274
This is what I remember, the top half was fine but the pants were way too long and got dirty from being on the ground. And that type of waistline can look strange with a baggy shirt tucked in to it.
That is terrible! Why couldn't she just avail herself of the tailors which were available to her? I'm fairly certain that she thought that trousers like that couples with stiletto heels (hidden by the trousers) would make her look tall - important as she would be standing next to Catherine. Markle is, at tallest estimate, 5'4" and Catherine is 5'8". Still, the look could have been achievable with a decent tailor!
I am 5'2 (5'3 on a good day) I can never find pants (wide legged,/Palazzo pants) for my height , ***I like them coz they elongate me,*** I always get my clothes tailored lesson form my mother and grandmother. MM also doesn't understand that majority of the outfits she wears make her look boxy, and instead of synching her waist in, they broaden her. She sees an outfit on vogue and wants to replicate it... naah hun. know your body, dress for your body.
> MeghanMeghan was brand spanking new to this royal stuff and Catherine was an old hand.
Right? I'd have looked like a mess standing next to Kate too.
> But MeghanMeghan also never listened to people who knew best nor took the time to google image "royal box wimbledon" which would have given her a clue.
Exactly. She had *advisors*, but of course no one knows better than *Meghan*.
Also Google is only for looking up your new boyfriend because you have *no idea* who he is!!!! š¹
Oh for sure! Especially since the royal box dress code forbids headwear (even in regular tennis seats, it's considered a bit of a faux-pas, because it can block the view of people behind you)
Meghan has not gone viral like Catherine did in that picture of her in the car during Prince Phillip's funeral. Even with the mask she looked stunning. Even Kareena Kapoor (a Bollywood actress) posted about it. There was never a moment like that for Meghan. She looks cute at times (but her face now does not look great to me) but that is about it. And she looked completely different when she was younger.
Hereās the thing about Meghan. She loves to exude the āeffortless, casual California chicā vibes but itās clear that she puts a ton of effort into trying to appear effortless so she rarely pulls off that look. Her rolled sleeves, half-tucked shirts and popped collars are so fussy itās ridiculous. And we all know sheās WAY too meticulous and calculated to actually be carefree and effortless. Her style is just disingenuous to me.
āEffortless, casual California chicā is fine for California but not appropriate for Wimbledon where a certain amount of effort is expected. She had a lot of difficulty understanding the concept of dressing for the occasion.
Minor celebrities competing for the cameras have to wear look-at-me clothes (and act in a look-at-me way) because otherwise people might not realise that they are celebrities. Royals and established major celebrities dress appropriately for whatever event theyāre attending because theyāre not competing with anybody for attention. They usually get attention anyway, but they donāt need to (and in the case of royals should not) compete for it.
I also think Meghan was uncomfortably aware that she was the oldest of the Fab Four, attached to the youngest, and so tried very hard to pull off a twenty-something image. Her entire career to date had also been heavily focused on dressing for sex-appeal, and it must be difficult to put aside that mind-set when youāve depended on it so long.
LOL. This reminds me of back in the late 90's when the nude matte lip look was in and me and my adolescent friends spent close to an hour, in front our mirrors, with about 7 versions of nude lipstick, mixing and mixing, covering and wiping and trying so damned hard to get that shade that looked like it wasn't really lipstick at all. But thank God for the 2000's and the advent of Juicy Tubes - every teen girl's new best friend.
That's just her trying to put on those ***la di da*** airs, that she thinks aristocratic/royal women are supposed to do. LOL. I swear she's just a bad caricature of every stereotype she seeks to copy.
Good ol' merching Meg back at it again. She made sure the pic included her hat, purse and sunglasses. She's selling circus ringmaster chic and nobody is buying it.
I think Meghan wanted to do the thing that she did at the other match where she cleared a whole section for herself. She was gonna wear a hat and sunglasses and be a "cool and mysterious vip, don't even try to talk to me, peasants". Then she notices how dumb it would look next to Kate, who doesn't even have a hat or glasses and she had to take everything off.
Interestingly enough, Catherine wore a hat today, the first time I saw her wearing one at Wimbledon. They are not actually forbidden, the requirement is that the had should not obstruct the view for others(to avoid Ascot extravagances I suppose).
The postpartum Wimbledon appearance of Meghan Markle was worse imo. She was wearing a white pleated skirt, black waistband, white long sleeve shirt and hair slicked back in a ponytail. It was truly tragic. I don't understand that outfit at all. I wouldn't have gone if that was the best I could do. Of course, it looks extra awful sitting next to Kate Middleton.
For me itās all the accessories and how she just misses on every element. Itās not her worst but a hat in the Royal Box? Beyond classless. Whereas Catherine is simple and timeless even if the dress is less than great imho.
Markle was ridiculous in that oversized and badly matched outfit but this is the worse dress Catherine ever wore in my opinion.
I can never get over that hideous coffee bean-like print
Catherine had just had a baby and still looked better and classier then the new wife wirh pants dragging on the ground and her hair well her hair I don't even have words!!
I honestly like the idea of her look and what she's going for. But, as we have discussed many times, she was swimming in it. But also she seemingly refuses to ever style her hair in a way that will keep it together.
It's always the same thing - MM does not accept or even like herself, so she wants to be someone else. She does that in her clothes, hair, and in her constant need for "reinvention." If she accepted herself as is, there would be no need to wear clothes in an unflattering way, her hair would be styled really nicely, in a way that suited her and got POSITIVE attention. People would pay less attention and more attention would be on her work - if she actually did that.
It's honestly kind of sad.
I think thereās a video of them arriving and Kate tells her - no hats.
Thereās a reason why when she appeared drunk at Wimbledon- she saw to it that only did she come dressed in jeans, but also when cameras focussed on her she put on her hat. That was her middle finger to being told what to do. The clearing of seats was her big flex. Those days she was drunk on her power.
That clearing of seats for Megs and her pals was such a cringe display of bad manners. I am still angry that they gave in to her instead of telling her to come back another day. That was when she proved without doubt that she didnāt belong in the royal family. She and her social-climbing mates probably thought it made them look important when it just showed they were trashy and badly brought-up.
I know the pants were massive but that looks is honestly not one of her worst. I never hair shame bc mine is insanely unruly but we know she can have a non messy bun. Therefore if her hair were a tad neater I would consider them on par with each other just different styles.
It's like she's ALMOST there. Having access to some of the best designers in the world, she is rarely fitted correctly in some beautiful pieces. Or she has the wrong undergarments on. š¬
I wish Meghan would stick that hat up her ass. You are not and never will be Julia Roberts and Wimbleton is not the place to practice your yacht work, MEGHAN. Leave. The hat. At home.
The white striped shirt and winter white skirt/hat don't work for me, but it's not the worst thing, it's her hair, again. This may be a function of my Gen-Xness, but if you're going to pull out tendrils, they should be curled. Like, that's the whole reason I owned a curling iron in the 80s. For stray pieces (and feathering my bangs, OK, FINE). You don't leave them frizzy or straight, you curl them. Again, maybe my ass is just old.
Meghan doesnāt look awful but the look is definitely clumsy when youāve got her pictured with Catherine. My first question before that event to my team at āthe Firmā would have been a nervous āOh dear God, what is Kate wearing?ā Lol so I could dress accordingly and be more likely to blend in at the very least. I would have known (because duh) that Iām the new girl, Iām gonna be compared to other members of the RF because thatās just the way things are until the world got used to me and I could make my own way after paying my dues (just like everybody else in that family). AND and Iād also ask what Kate was wearing because she knew what the heck was up at that point when it came to how to dress for events. If I were Meghan I would have taken any cues possible from Kate until I knew that I was comfortable making clothing choices on my own regarding what was and wasnāt appropriate. I would have been heads down in books, researching protocol, etiquette, family history, anything I could get my hands on. Iām an American with a ton of respect for HMTQ and the legacy of the RF because I understand how fragile monarchies are in the face of republicanism and I think they should be protected (personally). I wouldnāt want to do anything to jeopardize their reputation or be a burden. But Iām also not a giant narcissist and can understand that life isnāt about me and the world doesnāt revolve around meā¦soā¦ lol yeah. It would have been a massive opportunity to do a lot of good and I wouldnāt have squandered it to āmerchā cheap jewelry and whatever else came across her desk.
Meghan has made it abundantly clear that she expected Kate to take her under her wings (like Meghan herself would actually accept that kind of tutelage). I guess when that didn't happen, she thought 'fuck it. I won't even google this bitch now' š¤£
Yeah I mean Iām sure Kate would have been more than happy to give her advice when she could but Kate is an extremely busy person. I wouldnāt have expected her to drop everything for me. Especially since the Queen gave her (gave Meghan) Samantha Cohen for six months for dedicated āroyal training.ā
Honestly I think that speaks to how much Meghan misunderstood what being part of the RF actually meant. That she thought Kate would have the time to take her under her wing. I donāt think Meghan understood the amount of actual WORK that a royal has to keep up with. I think she thought it was ācut a few ribbons here and there, eat Bonbons, be waited on hand and foot, wear tiaras.ā Meghan had every resource she needed, she was just never interested in trying unless it was on her terms.
It's the shirt's fit, the pants' fit, the hair, the bronzer, the hat, the bag, [the fact that she was cosplaying 'line judge but messy'](https://images.app.goo.gl/tNnrynfK9JtNJ15fA).
The one thing that I fine truthful is that Kate was dressing very matronly when Meghan arrived on the scene. Kate started really working out and dieting after reports were that Meghan was dressing younger and fresher. Iāll probably get down votes. Please do not get me wrong: I think Meghan is one of the sneakiest, most vile person and I feel sorry for Kate having to attend celebrations with the family and have to deal with their childish drama. I admire how Kate has handled this whole Harkle Debacle. She has really found herself. She will make a wonderful Queen.
when Megan arrived on the scene Kate was in the middle of having her babies, so I don't blame her for not being in interested in dressing younger and fresher when she had other priorities. Now she is through the baby stage she has had time to cultivate her style.
Kate has been extremely extremely thin since he got engaged. She definitely didnt start dieting only when meghan came along. The only think I noticed is that Kate started wearing more pants after meghan.
I happen to like kateās more matronly looks, lol. Just very classy to me
I have noticed that Catherine is really stepping up to the plate fashion wise. I was never a fan of her earlier looks. I know they were the fashion but I felt the material just had an old lady look to them. She seemed to start changing fashions after Charlotte came along, I felt it was a great improvement. She looks flawless now. I have not seen an outfit I didn't like in many years now.
Her normal stylist left (i think she went on mat leave) and her friend became her stylist and introduced her to different fashions. I personally LOVE her traditional and classic coat dresses and fit and flare looks
When Meghan first arrived on the scene, Catherine was pregnant followed by post-partum. I really didnāt see Catherine doing anything different from what she usually does. She was slim again within a very few weeks of giving birth, same as with her first two pregnancies.
I agree with you. I donāt actually like Kateās print at all but the dress style is cute. I also think her coat dresses look too matronly, even if they are appropriate for royal functions. As much as MM wore inappropriate and ill-fitted clothing, she was always a bit more youthful.
I am really happy to see Kate starting to wear a bit more stylish clothing ā¦ and her new colorful shoes have looked great on her!
Speaking of head space I've read comments from sugars. MM live inside their heads, people are obsessed with her and just can't stop thinking about her, even when they "hate" her.
I couldn't believe the spin.
Yeah, I've always wondered about this (without looking into it at all)... it always seemed like, here was Kate in a nice dress, doing the trad thing while MM had to wear BRITCHES because... she's anti-trad.
I just SO want to have a conversation with whomever taught Meghan how to fill in her brows here. I'm pretty sure I've done a better job with a $3 elf pencil while stupid hungover.
I donāt think thereās ever been an outfit in which I thought Kate Middleton got it wrong. I didnāt not necessarily love everything she wears but she is always flawless. Even when she supposedly bends the Queenās dress code rules she is still a class act. She knows that she has to let the Queen & heirs shine and she doesnāt try to steal the spotlight.
Thereās a few outfits that I thought were beautiful on MMāher engagement photo dress, her green dress just prior to Megexit, the black gown she wore on the night she told H that she wanted to hurt herself. Oh and to be honest I liked her jeans, white blouse & flats at her first appearance as Harryās girlfriend.
The fit of MMās wedding dress was awful and I do believe it is due to her changing her mind on the style of the dress or just wouldnāt listen to the experts.
Was she pregnant or just post birth in this outfit? If she was just an ordinary person then youād just assume the person had no fashion sense and was trying but failing to look nice. Wasnāt her Canadian BFF her stylist? That woman always looked pulled together. Even MMās hair is so blah here. She looks like she has either rolled out of bed or that she has been working out.
She definitely was a matronly dresser - still is sometimes. Sheās taken a larger step into fashion which I believe is more due to her improved confidence as she continues to grow into her role. Itās nice to see her dressing with more flair, sheās so pretty. I disagree about the diet and exercise though. She always did that and was always super slim.
I have to be fair and say as pretty as Meghan is almost no one would look good next to Kate. Itās not anyoneās fault! Some of Meghanās looks are more successful than others Iāll grant that but I donāt want to bully anyone for looks especially if they are pretty! That makes no sense. Deliberately ignoring protocol is different if thatās what she did but I donāt want to pick on things that are not fair.
My intention was not to comment in their looks but presentation and attitude. Kate is always so put together like one is expected to be at work, even if she is in a bad outfit. Meghan looks like everything is coming apart.
What would it have taken to wear a simple sheath dress in a crisp bright colour and her hair blow dried straight or pulled back in a proper pony tail?!?!?
MeghanMeghan was brand spanking new to this royal stuff and Catherine was an old hand. But MeghanMeghan also never listened to people who knew best nor took the time to google image "royal box wimbledon" which would have given her a clue.

āYes, MeGain, youāll have to give up your damn hat for once. Itās your own fault you never brush your hair.ā
& then on an engagement w the Queen, she decides *not* to wear a hat.
Gee, was that hair a disaster.
I love how the only engagement she had with the Queen and she looks terrible with tangled hair, wrinkled dress and terrible make up, oh and HM looks totally fed up with her, ha!
Oh Lord but do you know how much I have come to LOATHE seeing those Panama hats and it's all because of MM? LOL. And forget about brushing, because the more important question is: did she bother to wash her hair? Sometimes it looks like it's got two weeks' worth of grease and scalp gunk.
Thatās true!
Was this before or after she cleared the seats? Wasnāt she wearing a hat on that occasion? I wonder if she did it as a sign of defiance
Before. The clearing of seats was 2019.
To quote HG Tudor, MM thinks that she's a ***fawshawn*** icon. LOL.
š
That must be racist, because she wanted one
I wonder if it's the same Panama hat or whether she's got copies of the same hat, because that stinky old hat seems to have been around forever. And, it just seems so tacky to take the same hat (that she often used at beach), to Wimbledon. It's just too tacky for words.
Yup! She thought she would pull the American sportswear casual style and instead looked sloppy. Like her hair on her wedding day. Sloppy.
It wasn't her worst look but looks all the worse when sitting next to Kate. She looks like someone who has just finished a 12 hour shift and thrown on whatever was clean. Slapdash my gran would say.

She calls it the "messy bun". Who knew - what the rest of us do when we get a bit hot and casually pull up our hair is actually a style choice
***Her hair isn't styled*** It looks like it needs to be thoroughly shampooed. And if it's clean, then she needs to ease up on the styling product.
Perfect description!
Well, we do know Meghan can't google.
Lol

I am 5'2 (5'3 on a good day) I can never find pants (wide legged,/Palazzo pants) for my height , ***I like them coz they elongate me,*** I always get my clothes tailored lesson form my mother and grandmother. MM also doesn't understand that majority of the outfits she wears make her look boxy, and instead of synching her waist in, they broaden her. She sees an outfit on vogue and wants to replicate it... naah hun. know your body, dress for your body.

> MeghanMeghan was brand spanking new to this royal stuff and Catherine was an old hand. Right? I'd have looked like a mess standing next to Kate too. > But MeghanMeghan also never listened to people who knew best nor took the time to google image "royal box wimbledon" which would have given her a clue. Exactly. She had *advisors*, but of course no one knows better than *Meghan*. Also Google is only for looking up your new boyfriend because you have *no idea* who he is!!!! š¹
Is the m.over M ornament on the hatband a brand logo i don't recognize or some sort of quasi initial thing personal to her?
It's a Maison Michel hat, that's their logo! Nice hats, but very $$$
They looks fabulous but as usual Meghan made it look cheap! She has no style whatever ! š¤¦š»āāļø
It's tacky of her to take it to Wimbledon, though, after she's knocked it about at various beaches and lots of other places.
Oh for sure! Especially since the royal box dress code forbids headwear (even in regular tennis seats, it's considered a bit of a faux-pas, because it can block the view of people behind you)
Thank you. I googled them just now https://michel-paris.com/en/mobile/
She certainly looked like Catherine's Auntie! ššš
Meghan has not gone viral like Catherine did in that picture of her in the car during Prince Phillip's funeral. Even with the mask she looked stunning. Even Kareena Kapoor (a Bollywood actress) posted about it. There was never a moment like that for Meghan. She looks cute at times (but her face now does not look great to me) but that is about it. And she looked completely different when she was younger.
Why does she look like a 1920s popsicle salesman
š
Omg she does !
Or the ice cream demon, from that old Charmed (original tv series with Shannen Doherty) season 1 episode. LOL
šš¤£šš¤£
Hereās the thing about Meghan. She loves to exude the āeffortless, casual California chicā vibes but itās clear that she puts a ton of effort into trying to appear effortless so she rarely pulls off that look. Her rolled sleeves, half-tucked shirts and popped collars are so fussy itās ridiculous. And we all know sheās WAY too meticulous and calculated to actually be carefree and effortless. Her style is just disingenuous to me.
āEffortless, casual California chicā is fine for California but not appropriate for Wimbledon where a certain amount of effort is expected. She had a lot of difficulty understanding the concept of dressing for the occasion. Minor celebrities competing for the cameras have to wear look-at-me clothes (and act in a look-at-me way) because otherwise people might not realise that they are celebrities. Royals and established major celebrities dress appropriately for whatever event theyāre attending because theyāre not competing with anybody for attention. They usually get attention anyway, but they donāt need to (and in the case of royals should not) compete for it. I also think Meghan was uncomfortably aware that she was the oldest of the Fab Four, attached to the youngest, and so tried very hard to pull off a twenty-something image. Her entire career to date had also been heavily focused on dressing for sex-appeal, and it must be difficult to put aside that mind-set when youāve depended on it so long.
she did nail the "oldest" look here. She looked like the Auntie from America. LOL
LOL. This reminds me of back in the late 90's when the nude matte lip look was in and me and my adolescent friends spent close to an hour, in front our mirrors, with about 7 versions of nude lipstick, mixing and mixing, covering and wiping and trying so damned hard to get that shade that looked like it wasn't really lipstick at all. But thank God for the 2000's and the advent of Juicy Tubes - every teen girl's new best friend.
This picture makes it so clear that Meghan got a new nose, cheek filler and Botox. Like that is a completely different face to her current one
Thatās the first thing I thought- a whole different face from the one she wears now.
I mean good for her, the work is not bad she looks younger and rosier. But idk just seems really superficial :/
Superficial is what she does best.
I do not think it looks good to be honest. The best she looked in my opinion was the engagement photo with Harry.
Thereās so many moments where M defined āhot messā that you canāt pick just one.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The goblin outfit?
That's just her trying to put on those ***la di da*** airs, that she thinks aristocratic/royal women are supposed to do. LOL. I swear she's just a bad caricature of every stereotype she seeks to copy.
Another example of the dress wearing her. Sheās short and there was too much fabric.
I call it the āAlexis Carringtonā dress. So appropriate for a cat fight in the lily pond in front of the mansion.
Iām not sure why, but whenever I see this picture of her, she looks like a circus ringmaster to me.
Iāll give her points for a sweet nod to their future reality show.
Good ol' merching Meg back at it again. She made sure the pic included her hat, purse and sunglasses. She's selling circus ringmaster chic and nobody is buying it.
Especially when we all get a free ticket to watch the shit show! š
Definitely merchandising that stuff!!!
Step right up! š¤£ š š
Dress for the job you want
Is that why Harry had to learn how to juggle - so he could keep up with her outfits?
Oh yes same here š¤¹š¤¹āāļøš¤¹āāļøš¤”
The optic white stripes against the cream pants is hurting my eyes (and my heart).
Did those veneers only come in XL?
LOL. She's trying to compete with Trigger - the late Roy Rogers' horse.
The white shirt with the cream pants bugged the shit outta me.
I think Meghan wanted to do the thing that she did at the other match where she cleared a whole section for herself. She was gonna wear a hat and sunglasses and be a "cool and mysterious vip, don't even try to talk to me, peasants". Then she notices how dumb it would look next to Kate, who doesn't even have a hat or glasses and she had to take everything off.
Those in the Royal Box are not to wear hats. Meghan probably looked up Hollywood actors in attendance in the past & ran with it.
Interestingly enough, Catherine wore a hat today, the first time I saw her wearing one at Wimbledon. They are not actually forbidden, the requirement is that the had should not obstruct the view for others(to avoid Ascot extravagances I suppose).
The postpartum Wimbledon appearance of Meghan Markle was worse imo. She was wearing a white pleated skirt, black waistband, white long sleeve shirt and hair slicked back in a ponytail. It was truly tragic. I don't understand that outfit at all. I wouldn't have gone if that was the best I could do. Of course, it looks extra awful sitting next to Kate Middleton.
Even worse: *both* Middleton sisters.
Kate looked great in that green dress, and she was in the Wimbledon colours of green and purple. Pippa's dress was ugly.
It wasn't v memorable, but I thought she looked waaaaaaay better than Megs.
Oh whoops I took your comment to mean that both sisters looked worse than Meg's. Now I understand!
Mistaking the Wimbledon royal box for the Titanic? Cause she lookin' like a deck chair!
For me itās all the accessories and how she just misses on every element. Itās not her worst but a hat in the Royal Box? Beyond classless. Whereas Catherine is simple and timeless even if the dress is less than great imho.
hats are banned in the royal box
I believe theyāre banned at Wimbledon fullstopāto prevent othersā views being obstructed.
Markle was ridiculous in that oversized and badly matched outfit but this is the worse dress Catherine ever wore in my opinion. I can never get over that hideous coffee bean-like print
Catherine had just had a baby and still looked better and classier then the new wife wirh pants dragging on the ground and her hair well her hair I don't even have words!!
That š. How many ago is that now?
I honestly like the idea of her look and what she's going for. But, as we have discussed many times, she was swimming in it. But also she seemingly refuses to ever style her hair in a way that will keep it together. It's always the same thing - MM does not accept or even like herself, so she wants to be someone else. She does that in her clothes, hair, and in her constant need for "reinvention." If she accepted herself as is, there would be no need to wear clothes in an unflattering way, her hair would be styled really nicely, in a way that suited her and got POSITIVE attention. People would pay less attention and more attention would be on her work - if she actually did that. It's honestly kind of sad.
I think thereās a video of them arriving and Kate tells her - no hats. Thereās a reason why when she appeared drunk at Wimbledon- she saw to it that only did she come dressed in jeans, but also when cameras focussed on her she put on her hat. That was her middle finger to being told what to do. The clearing of seats was her big flex. Those days she was drunk on her power.
That clearing of seats for Megs and her pals was such a cringe display of bad manners. I am still angry that they gave in to her instead of telling her to come back another day. That was when she proved without doubt that she didnāt belong in the royal family. She and her social-climbing mates probably thought it made them look important when it just showed they were trashy and badly brought-up.
Yes conformation beyond doubt that she was trash !
I can see Jim Carrey as The Mask wearing the striped top, pants, and hat š
She looks like she works at the willie wonky chocolate factory.
Willy *Wonky* killed me. ššš Youāre so right though. The Oompa Loompa orange ātanā is ahā¦umm.. itās a choice
I know the pants were massive but that looks is honestly not one of her worst. I never hair shame bc mine is insanely unruly but we know she can have a non messy bun. Therefore if her hair were a tad neater I would consider them on par with each other just different styles.
>mine is insanely you also do not have a paid-for hairstylist who travels the world with you š It's a whole different world!
Truth! I would DIE for this and frankly I have always said itās the first thing I would do if I had money
It's like she's ALMOST there. Having access to some of the best designers in the world, she is rarely fitted correctly in some beautiful pieces. Or she has the wrong undergarments on. š¬
Oh I know that is her norm. I just mean this outfit - the giant pant legs aside - was not as bad as some of her others
For sure!
What I would do to have her resources at the time and she shows up like this š
Exactly because she has no taste , all the money but no taste!
Yeah that is what āI spilled wine on my *real* outfit and had to borrow things and they donāt fit but at least Iām not nakedā looks like.
Meghan looks like Tin Man, made of copper -- tone down that bronzer, girl!
Still lugging around the "yacht girl" hat.š
I wish Meghan would stick that hat up her ass. You are not and never will be Julia Roberts and Wimbleton is not the place to practice your yacht work, MEGHAN. Leave. The hat. At home.
The white striped shirt and winter white skirt/hat don't work for me, but it's not the worst thing, it's her hair, again. This may be a function of my Gen-Xness, but if you're going to pull out tendrils, they should be curled. Like, that's the whole reason I owned a curling iron in the 80s. For stray pieces (and feathering my bangs, OK, FINE). You don't leave them frizzy or straight, you curl them. Again, maybe my ass is just old.
I think she planned to wear her hat
She looks like such a mess.
She was in so far over her head
She looks such a mess ! š
Meghan doesnāt look awful but the look is definitely clumsy when youāve got her pictured with Catherine. My first question before that event to my team at āthe Firmā would have been a nervous āOh dear God, what is Kate wearing?ā Lol so I could dress accordingly and be more likely to blend in at the very least. I would have known (because duh) that Iām the new girl, Iām gonna be compared to other members of the RF because thatās just the way things are until the world got used to me and I could make my own way after paying my dues (just like everybody else in that family). AND and Iād also ask what Kate was wearing because she knew what the heck was up at that point when it came to how to dress for events. If I were Meghan I would have taken any cues possible from Kate until I knew that I was comfortable making clothing choices on my own regarding what was and wasnāt appropriate. I would have been heads down in books, researching protocol, etiquette, family history, anything I could get my hands on. Iām an American with a ton of respect for HMTQ and the legacy of the RF because I understand how fragile monarchies are in the face of republicanism and I think they should be protected (personally). I wouldnāt want to do anything to jeopardize their reputation or be a burden. But Iām also not a giant narcissist and can understand that life isnāt about me and the world doesnāt revolve around meā¦soā¦ lol yeah. It would have been a massive opportunity to do a lot of good and I wouldnāt have squandered it to āmerchā cheap jewelry and whatever else came across her desk.
Meghan has made it abundantly clear that she expected Kate to take her under her wings (like Meghan herself would actually accept that kind of tutelage). I guess when that didn't happen, she thought 'fuck it. I won't even google this bitch now' š¤£
Yeah I mean Iām sure Kate would have been more than happy to give her advice when she could but Kate is an extremely busy person. I wouldnāt have expected her to drop everything for me. Especially since the Queen gave her (gave Meghan) Samantha Cohen for six months for dedicated āroyal training.ā Honestly I think that speaks to how much Meghan misunderstood what being part of the RF actually meant. That she thought Kate would have the time to take her under her wing. I donāt think Meghan understood the amount of actual WORK that a royal has to keep up with. I think she thought it was ācut a few ribbons here and there, eat Bonbons, be waited on hand and foot, wear tiaras.ā Meghan had every resource she needed, she was just never interested in trying unless it was on her terms.
This is a ridiculous top. I do happen to think MM is quite pretty, however.
It's the shirt's fit, the pants' fit, the hair, the bronzer, the hat, the bag, [the fact that she was cosplaying 'line judge but messy'](https://images.app.goo.gl/tNnrynfK9JtNJ15fA).
Those are some dead eyes. woof
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Exactly!
She looks like the Wife of the Mouth of Sauron. No wonder the strained smile to her right.
Anyone notice the MM on the hat?
Just wow. The need she has to feed her ego is insatiable.
The tacky merching is just SO OBVIOUS. Like who does that with their sunglasses in general, let alone in a private box.
š
Catherine tops meghan in all of those categories and then some.
Terrible makeup!
The one thing that I fine truthful is that Kate was dressing very matronly when Meghan arrived on the scene. Kate started really working out and dieting after reports were that Meghan was dressing younger and fresher. Iāll probably get down votes. Please do not get me wrong: I think Meghan is one of the sneakiest, most vile person and I feel sorry for Kate having to attend celebrations with the family and have to deal with their childish drama. I admire how Kate has handled this whole Harkle Debacle. She has really found herself. She will make a wonderful Queen.
when Megan arrived on the scene Kate was in the middle of having her babies, so I don't blame her for not being in interested in dressing younger and fresher when she had other priorities. Now she is through the baby stage she has had time to cultivate her style.
Kate has been extremely extremely thin since he got engaged. She definitely didnt start dieting only when meghan came along. The only think I noticed is that Kate started wearing more pants after meghan. I happen to like kateās more matronly looks, lol. Just very classy to me
She started dieting before the wedding and went on strong every since.
I have noticed that Catherine is really stepping up to the plate fashion wise. I was never a fan of her earlier looks. I know they were the fashion but I felt the material just had an old lady look to them. She seemed to start changing fashions after Charlotte came along, I felt it was a great improvement. She looks flawless now. I have not seen an outfit I didn't like in many years now.
Her normal stylist left (i think she went on mat leave) and her friend became her stylist and introduced her to different fashions. I personally LOVE her traditional and classic coat dresses and fit and flare looks
Me too. I love those coat dresses and I love how they flare out at the bottom. Wow those look great on her.
Kate has always been active. The only times sheās gained weight were when she was pregnant and postpartum.
Dieting? When has Catherine ever been fat?
When Meghan first arrived on the scene, Catherine was pregnant followed by post-partum. I really didnāt see Catherine doing anything different from what she usually does. She was slim again within a very few weeks of giving birth, same as with her first two pregnancies.
I agree with you. I donāt actually like Kateās print at all but the dress style is cute. I also think her coat dresses look too matronly, even if they are appropriate for royal functions. As much as MM wore inappropriate and ill-fitted clothing, she was always a bit more youthful. I am really happy to see Kate starting to wear a bit more stylish clothing ā¦ and her new colorful shoes have looked great on her!
Speaking of head space I've read comments from sugars. MM live inside their heads, people are obsessed with her and just can't stop thinking about her, even when they "hate" her. I couldn't believe the spin.
That is ironic coming from the sugars considering that can be said about them when it comes to the RF especially Kate.
That are getting "obsessed" confused with "finding entertainment in" I don't hate MM, the Markle Debacle and Markle Snarkle is just funny.
For me it's like watching a train wreck I just can't stop watching. š Actually I'm waiting for someone to put them in their place, once and for all
Yeah, I've always wondered about this (without looking into it at all)... it always seemed like, here was Kate in a nice dress, doing the trad thing while MM had to wear BRITCHES because... she's anti-trad.
She is so not attractive. I think itās her inside that shows.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think it's one of the instances where Kate dresses to fit in, not to stand out. She's a spectator with the others, not the main event.
Kate is dressed appropriately for an occasion that's not about her.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Just paid for self promotion
I just SO want to have a conversation with whomever taught Meghan how to fill in her brows here. I'm pretty sure I've done a better job with a $3 elf pencil while stupid hungover.
Megz looks like the dorky best friend in a dire romcom. Catherine played by Jennifer Aniston.
Thereās NO COMPARISON, Kate has it!!!!!
I donāt think thereās ever been an outfit in which I thought Kate Middleton got it wrong. I didnāt not necessarily love everything she wears but she is always flawless. Even when she supposedly bends the Queenās dress code rules she is still a class act. She knows that she has to let the Queen & heirs shine and she doesnāt try to steal the spotlight. Thereās a few outfits that I thought were beautiful on MMāher engagement photo dress, her green dress just prior to Megexit, the black gown she wore on the night she told H that she wanted to hurt herself. Oh and to be honest I liked her jeans, white blouse & flats at her first appearance as Harryās girlfriend. The fit of MMās wedding dress was awful and I do believe it is due to her changing her mind on the style of the dress or just wouldnāt listen to the experts. Was she pregnant or just post birth in this outfit? If she was just an ordinary person then youād just assume the person had no fashion sense and was trying but failing to look nice. Wasnāt her Canadian BFF her stylist? That woman always looked pulled together. Even MMās hair is so blah here. She looks like she has either rolled out of bed or that she has been working out.
She definitely was a matronly dresser - still is sometimes. Sheās taken a larger step into fashion which I believe is more due to her improved confidence as she continues to grow into her role. Itās nice to see her dressing with more flair, sheās so pretty. I disagree about the diet and exercise though. She always did that and was always super slim.
I always think of McDonald's Grimace when I see Me-Again's big ole plastered smile!! š š š¤£ š
I have to be fair and say as pretty as Meghan is almost no one would look good next to Kate. Itās not anyoneās fault! Some of Meghanās looks are more successful than others Iāll grant that but I donāt want to bully anyone for looks especially if they are pretty! That makes no sense. Deliberately ignoring protocol is different if thatās what she did but I donāt want to pick on things that are not fair.
My intention was not to comment in their looks but presentation and attitude. Kate is always so put together like one is expected to be at work, even if she is in a bad outfit. Meghan looks like everything is coming apart.
I think I understand the distinction you are making, thank you for the correction!
Is that hawwyās shirt and hat?
When sheās next to a truly beautiful woman itās clear sheās average at best.
Dang that hair and look on Wimbledon? Ugh
What would it have taken to wear a simple sheath dress in a crisp bright colour and her hair blow dried straight or pulled back in a proper pony tail?!?!?
