Looking at pictures of Meghan in a floral dress that she wore at a wedding yesterday, I can't help but believe that maybe it's high time she got herself a better stylist.
The frock is just hideous on such a stunning woman.Shock

Her freckles are really lovely.

On the subject of Meghan, I think she looks great in whatever she wears. i like the way she doesn't cover her freckles too, I think it looks fresh.

2up, Firstly you assume that you think you know what suits somebody else better and you then go on to assume that they'd even like your taste or agree that your picks were 'beautiful'. Breathtaking arrogance on this thread.

... and you think people should want to go shopping with you? Shock

Well I liked the one she wore to the Trooping of the Colour and thought she looked lovely, but these open neck shirt thingys she is wearing are horrible and look too casual and in fact too big and frumpy on her .... there I have said it and criticised another woman, incidentally another woman who deliberately put herself in the public eye so nope don't feel guilty etc

It doesn't actually matter WHAT she wears though does it?

It could be the bestest of best dresses and fit her absolutely perfectly and still someone will whine and complain about it.

She has probably figured this out and just wears what she likes.

I would be amazed if she was actually paying for them! Money can’t buy publicity like that, designers must be sending boxes of stuff round to Kensington Palace daily.

I could take her shopping and find her a dozen beautiful dresses that would look amazing on her slim frame. Funny how she can’t find them herself or have someone hunt one down.

I think if she reduced her budget a bit it would help. There’s really no need to be spending thousands on a day dress. £200-500 would do it. It’s just profligate spending otherwise.

The toile de jouy pattern is so pretty. It really suited her.

Princess Eugenie looks amazing in that ensemble. This more like it. Honestly I have zero idea as to why Eugenie and Beatrice don't dress to play to their strengths more of the time. It highlights how extremely attractive they are when they get it right!

noeffing I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that Meghan always had a stylist previously. Even on her tour with Harry whilst engaged. Her friend Mulroney was her stylist for a while. She has had advice on trends, so I think she ought to have one now when her official position has elevated somewhat.

Still it's difficult to see how she could not tell for herself that the dress was a bit too loose.

Personally I didn't think the blue and white dress really suited her. I loved both her wedding dresses (especially the evening one). I liked the Trooping of the colours outfit and especially the Ascot dress. I think she really suits white, it makes her glow.
I don't think she needs a stylist really, most women can pick clothes out that suit them, and I don't see why she should be any different.

That's one thing I like about the British people. The hats! Especially for church weddings etc.

Much nicer than headscarves / mantillas etc (imo)

I agree, the Ascott dress is great. (The hat unfortunately really isn't imo)

I really like what Princess Eugenie was wearing.

I think she's a stunningly beautiful woman.

While her 'Suits' and personal 'before Harry' dress style is more to my taste, I think she looks equally as good in the more recent dresses she's worn, it's just different to what we're used to seeing her in.

I thought her wedding dress was beautiful and suited her perfectly and her evening dress looked incredible.

I like the dress she wore to the races and the one she wore to the wedding; both of which fitted her as you can see the shoulder line in place.

The aesthetic at the moment is very romantic so ruffled, long, flowing and floral, which is not to my taste but I think the dresses were beautiful and she looked wonderful. I wish I looked half as good!

To those saying she's skinny she's really not, she's fit, slim and healthy.

The Ascot dress is perfect - or would be on a much less formal occasion. As pp have said, the formal headwear looks wrong too because you would not wear a hat thing like that with what is basically a shirt dress.

The dress she wore at the Spencer wedding was delightful. Obviously it was meant to look flowy. She knows her own size for goodness’ sake! I loved her in that.

It's not really the kind of dress you'd wear if you were trying to blend in and not upstage the bride. It's actually the kind of dress that would really stand out, so I doubt that's the reason she wore it.

Blending in would be wearing something like the outfit Kate wore to Harry and Meghan's wedding.

Dumela I absolutely agree.
Very odd choice of dress.
Although the one she wore at the wedding last week was dire on her.
She is so pretty with an amazing smile.
Personally I wish Harry would shave. I hate beards and the beard rash must be terrible for her. Grin
