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

I really like what Princess Eugenie was wearing.

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

Much nicer than headscarves / mantillas etc (imo)

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.

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.

At least we all have one thing in common. We do like her and that's wonderful x Smile

She looked like a Wetherspoons plate.

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

2up2manydown · 20/06/2018 23:46

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.

Sashkin · 21/06/2018 00:27

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.

IAmNotAWitch · 21/06/2018 01:23

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.

ProudAunty2nine · 21/06/2018 03:48

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

AntiqueSinger · 21/06/2018 15:57

Dumela?Hmm Why would that be 'wonderful'? Jurys still out on DoS for me.

We'll see.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 21/06/2018 16:02

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

WallisWindsor · 21/06/2018 17:53

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe I absolutely agree.

PortiaCastis · 21/06/2018 18:00

I also agree with Lyin she's spot on

LovelyBath77 · 21/06/2018 18:19

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.

RoseWhiteTips · 21/06/2018 18:26

Her freckles are really lovely.
