Or maybe she's like Kaye and her coat dresses- there's several capes for every occasion in every colour you can imagine Grin

Eaumyword · 14/04/2022 22:36

Sorry, Kate - no idea who Kaye is but I'm sure her coat dresses are nice too Wink

Lovely to see Meghan again! I like what she’s wearing, I think she looks great (as I had expected to!).

Nnique · 15/04/2022 17:26

With the caveat that the shoes work for me because they make sense with the outfit and they’re not dowdy/boring or 3rd wear this week.

paradyning · 15/04/2022 17:28

Ooo not liking the outfit. Looks completely proportions. The jacket is way too long!

Valentino according to this link

It looks marginally better in motion I think.

Nnique · 15/04/2022 17:34

I knew the first comment would say that!

I know, I know. The proportions are wrong. But she had such a short body that I’m not sure what she can do, really.

I think it’s better to dress how you like even if it’s not perfect!

Nnique · 15/04/2022 17:35

Short torso, that is? Not sure what the correct term is...

GrouchyKiwi · 15/04/2022 17:36

She'd have been better with a shorter jacket. Looks like she's got very short legs. I like how crisp it looks, though, and her makeup is lovely.

Maireas · 15/04/2022 17:38

She looks great - a white trouser suit is a nice choice for spring. Her favourite brand of shoes Aquazzura - they're ok in white as they match the suit.
(Please not with any colours 😉).

Yes it does really mess with her proportions. But sometimes you just want to wear a long jacket!

Maireas · 15/04/2022 17:42

I think the larger, looser cut is on trend. She's gone for this before with the burgundy suit in New York (I think?)
Is the suit and bag Valentino?.

She is so pretty- what a smile.
She doesn't look any different despite not seeing her in public for so long.
No Covid stone for her unlike me Blush
I don't think that white trouser suit does her any favours. Shorten the jacket and lose much of the bagginess of the trousers and it would be perfect.

SnottyLottie · 15/04/2022 17:59

She seems to favour oversized, relaxed fits but I hate it and I don’t think it does her any favours. The trousers would look nice with the right top or fitted jacket to balance it out. The jacket is far too long.

Here's some more pictures, including details of the suit and bag - all Valentino.
She's also wearing an interesting chain bracelet that wraps around her finger.
I'm going to differ here and say that it's a good look for Meghan, I think she looks great.

The white looks beautiful on her, as does the fabric. Agree that the jacket could have ended roughly where the pockets are.

She looks happy though!

justasking111 · 15/04/2022 18:42

I've seen a lot of suits like this in the media it's a trend. But looking back Meghan does favour them. She's so tiny the design stands out more.

I thought Harry looked well.

Imabouttoexplode · 15/04/2022 18:42

She is stunningly beautiful. A proper bobby dazzler. Really REALLY don't like her outfit though. She looks like a child playing dress up in her mum's clothes. I like over-sized but this just looks all kinds of wrong on her. Still, it's only clothes and she's still a world class beauty no matter what she wears.

KillingMeDeftly · 15/04/2022 19:48

It would be hard for Meghan to look bad but I think a shorter jacket would've looked better. Love a wide leg trouser though.

Eaumyword · 15/04/2022 20:00

Outfit looks good.

Pallisers · 15/04/2022 20:12

I think the suit is very on trend - reminds me of the 90s. Even though a different fit might suit her better. Her jewellery is love too - and seems a bit 90s to me. She looks wonderful and I love how she always gets her shoes right. I don't think she has ever worn a pair of shoes I didn't love.

Reminds me of an old advert for Charlie perfume

Easter GrinEaster GrinEaster Grin I like the idea behind the outfit, but the jacket is too big on her and I'd have liked a splash of colour (maybe orange or hot pink) Mind you, I can't come within sneezing distance of any white clothing. Give me 3 minutes once on me and it starts to look beige.
