To think Meghan should have chosen a Nigerian stylist

Now this latest yellow dress is a definite improvement, the colour is excellent on her but again it's much too long. The hem is dragging in the dirt and she's having to hitch up the skirt. And she is very much wearing the wrong bra again.

You'd assume she'd do a prior try on of all these dress and choose suitable underwear and get the hems tailored.

If no one was interested click the links, the media wouldn't bother reporting.

Yet here you are - giving her the attention you've decided she craves. If your reading of the situation is correct you are literally part of the problem.

Oh look. Another ridiculous reason to criticise Meghan Markle. I'll add it to a list that's already many mile long 🙄

Depends on the intention, surely? Wearing it because you like it =fine. Wearing it as a joke or to mock people or because you know you can get away with it when the people whose culture it actually came from can't= potentially not fine.

Not Nigerian either but spent much time there and other west African countries...I think people there are generally accepting of foreigners and willing to make allowances, they don't seem bothered about what foreigners wear. I found people non judgemental on the whole. (And a lot more friendly and helpful than in the UK it has to be said). If they thought her clothes inappropriate they would be likely to put it down to cultural differences rather than getting into a tiz about it.

If she's half black she must also be half white (unless you're claiming the rest is native American or something). To me it seems pretty racist to say that to be white you must be 100% white but to if 75% white 25% black you must be black

Yeah right 🙄

None of you are starting constant threads on what Harry is wearing, put it that way.

Dont you?
You only have to go on the royal family boatd and read all the comments on articles about her to see that people slating her every move and wishing whe would go away are in fact very interested in her and watching her every move ,they wouldn't have a hobby otherwise

much prefer todays outfits - love the gifted skirt although not too sure about the white shirt with it - but she does that alot with skirts

yellow dress and the green wrap - lovely colours which suit her well - dress maybe a bit too long but simple lines and hair up gives it a sleek look

red made her look boxy although colour was good

white was ok but agree not right for the event

pink - terrible and inappropriate given its side less

She doesn’t want to be left alone. That’s literally the last thing she wants. She’s literally on a publicity tour. Lol

Just leave her alone. You knew exactly what you were doing when you started this thread, despite your claim of “this isn’t a Meghan thread…” nonsense. It always was and you’ve achieved your aim. Well done.

I am Nigerian and I am not offended by any of the stuff she has worn. I quite like the white shirt and what looks like 'aso oke' on the bottom. Its her take on it and I think she looks fine and most importantly like herself.

Just came on to say the red dress was actually from a Nigerian designer but someone's beaten me to it.

Just leave her alone ffs

But my point is - how can anyone tell what’s a positive celebration and what’s apparent appropriation?

I am quite sure she would have been accused of appropriating something

You’re feeding into the misogynistic Daily Mail-ish narrative @LateAF. If you can’t see that, crack on.

I rarely comment on Megan threads, as they’re always the same people bitching away. I’ll go back to that, I think!

Wears cultural dress = cultural appropriation
Wears muted tones = boring, dull, uninspiring
Wears bright colours = flashy, attention-seeking
Covers up = stuffy, frumpy
Reveals some flesh = inappropriate, trashy
Longer length - why is she covering her legs?
Shorter length - she hasn’t got the legs for that!
Floaty dress = is she pregnant?
Fitted dress = she’s too skinny!

Honestly, catch on to yourselves, the lot of you!

Does anyone know why all (that I've seen anyway) of her dresses are full length? Seems she's covering her legs if not her shoulders.

Is this expected?

I stand corrected. The Lights Academy is a Christian based school. Their core values are

‘Equipping learners to be Christ-centered, innovative and excellent leaders, empowering and launching them to make a distinctive positive impact in their generation and beyond’

Still totally inappropriate to wear a backless dress in that setting imo. There’s no way most dignitaries would show up at any school dressed like that, let alone a faith based one.

Why are any of us remotely interested in anything?

MN is a talk board so some posters are interested in talking about Meghan's clothes, including you.

No she can't EVER! People will pick and poke to no end!
Meghan should wear whatever the hell she wants. Nigerians wear whatever they want when they visit other countries. I am yet to see a Nigerian official being told off for not wearing South African attire when they are in south africa or Indians doing the same in South Africa. Yet British people have this ridiculous obsession with putting on clothes from other countries when they visit. Just be you - the only exception would be of course entering places of worship!

I don’t think she had to dress a certain way to appease her hosts. I just think for someone so high profile she really could have done so much better. The white trouser suit has been done to death by other celebs. The rest of her wardrobe looks cheap, creased and ill fitting.

”Summer Collection” by Freemans catalogue comes to mind.
