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

I liked it, she looked fresh and pretty.

I much prefer this look to the tight, ultra-glam looks that women wear these days that make them look far older than they are. IMO

I think one of the initial posters jumped the gun and assumed this was about the wedding dress.

What is wrong with looking old?

EdWinchester · 17/06/2018 13:50

I think she's a bit swamped by it.

She still looks gorgeous though and rarely gets it wrong.

Mey, I agree with you but I've seen threads become very nasty about what women wear and exactly WHY it doesn't suit them.

OnionBridie · 17/06/2018 13:50

I liked the blue and white dress but it was too big. And It did however look much better on video than it did in still photos.

I thought Meghan looked lovely.

CanIBuffalo · 17/06/2018 13:51

I don't suppose she gives 2 fucks really. And quite right too.

FASH84 · 17/06/2018 13:53

I liked the print, she's been wearing a lot of very plain things recently. Must be tricky for her when she's used to wearing what she likes and now there are so many rules.

I said older than they are Smile, are you joking.

Mrsramsayscat · 17/06/2018 13:54

I would like to join the chorus of voices wishing to god that people would care less about what celebrities and royalty wear, and stop creating threads about it.

hendricksy · 17/06/2018 13:56

I quite like it , it's very on trend so maybe you need a stylist. ? 🤔🤔

MeyYael · 17/06/2018 13:57

That I agree with...

I personally wish I could pull a dress like the blue / white one off. It looks so comfortable and airy 😍

But I'm not tall enough. And my boobs are too big as well, tbh...

'Woman wears loose boho frock to wedding shocker'. FFS.

NotTakenUsername · 17/06/2018 13:59

Genderwitched Of course I am, the whole thread is ridiculous. Wink

RoseWhiteTips · 17/06/2018 14:01

Good username, OP! Are you a fan?

RoseWhiteTips · 17/06/2018 14:01

I actually like the dress and her hair. So shoot me.

BrendasUmbrella · 17/06/2018 14:11

What is wrong with looking old?

Nothing. Please do stop women at weddings to compliment them on how old they look, I'm sure they'll love it!

CallingAllLovers · 17/06/2018 14:11

It's obvious she's up the duff, why else would she wear a dress that size? It isn't the style of dress that doesn't suit her, it's the size! The colours look beautiful on her

BurnerName · 17/06/2018 14:13

Can someone enlighten me as to why we should be giving a shit about what anyone other than ourselves wear?

Just asking for a friend....

GreatWesternValkyrie · 17/06/2018 14:20

I thought the DoS wore something low key but wedding appropriate that minimised the chance of drawing the spotlight away from the bride - good for her.

I have to give a shout out to the sister of the bride - beautiful green and fuchsia coat and dress!

C0untDucku1a · 17/06/2018 14:22

I wear what the fuck i like so fuck off with your judgement and policing of what women wear!

GreatWesternValkyrie · 17/06/2018 14:25

I don’t think anyone has said you should. Some people enjoy fashion Burner. Some like watching tv programmes about other people’s houses and decor. Some like posting on threads they claim to have no interest in. None of these are mandatory activities Smile

OnionBridie · 17/06/2018 17:01

Nothing of the sort is obvious at all.

As for the dress. Its fashionable and probably why she chose it.

Ghanagirl · 17/06/2018 17:06

Her shape can’t have changed that much since she wore the beautiful Givenchy dress on Thursday, so I don’t think it’s to do with pregnancy.
