This from Elizabeth Holmes’ instagram (she comments on Meghan and Kate’s outfits, it’s a good follow) is an interesting and valid point, and relevant to our threads!
The writing is small so... the original Instagram post she is quoting says:
‘I’m getting a lot of comments regarding Meghan’s dress length today, from women nonetheless! I found a very similar look Duchess Kate wore a few years back and I think they are both very lovely looks! Today is INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY! Let’s out some positivity out there and empower these women, not bring them down.’
Elizabeth Holmes’ response is:
‘A friendly reminder that telling women not to think critically about something like fashion is NOT away of supporting women! Women should not be forced into a place of having to love everything that another woman does or says or wears! It’s like telling a woman to be nicer or smile more. There is no need to be mean or take a cheap shot, but liking and/or agreeing with everything is in no way additive to the conversation! THINK CRITICALLY FAM! Think your true Thoughts.
This isn’t meant to be a slight against Meghan’s skirt length btw, but I thought the general point applied to what we’re doing on these royal style threads discussing fashion.
