Oh, yes - I actually thought it was Kate at first glance!

Kate has the same dress, so you were both not far wrong! It’s a Beulah one.

Only pap shots so far but Meghan is in camel (creased) trousers and top but an assistant is carrying massive suit bags so assume she will change!

What jumps out for me in the DM photos is Harry's bald patch! The photos from behind really show it off.
Windsor men really don't do hair once they reach 40 ish.
I wonder if he'll do a William soon and have it cut very short?

MotherofPearl · 05/09/2022 23:02

Well spotted @Serenster! I did think it looked familiar.

JaceLancs · 05/09/2022 23:04

I like the red on her although I don’t normally applaud reds because they don’t suit me personally and on others can be a bit too ‘look at me’
Meghans hair and make up is better than on some occasions and make her look very happy fit and healthy - I think she has an amazing figure and the cut of this trouser suit does not do it justice
the camel trousers are a mess due to the creasing etc - just a no no from me

One from the archives (well a few weeks back)…. Our very own EBGM emulating Sherlock Holmes on a trip to Greenland. Also looking v like Kate in that classroom pic.I’d like to be privy to her skincare regime.

My mum taught me to scrunch the fabric before I bought anything to see how easily it creased, she'd have had a lot to say about the state of the camel trousers.

I humbly propose ‘The State of the Camel Trousers & What A State They’re In’ as possible new thread title

meateatingveggie · 06/09/2022 04:35

I was going to suggest something including camel, creases and toes for a thread title but struggling to keep it the right side of tasteful

“Not here for the creases or the camel, in whatever form they appear!” 😀

It's not a kind title.

I'd go for something like " Pumpkin coaches and autumnal looks as the leaves fall

That should last until xmas rears its head

Serenster · 06/09/2022 13:12

“Autumnal looks” does sound lovely, I agree. 🍁

(Also, I do actually love a good camel coat. A perennial hole in my wardrobe that I will fill once day. The problem is I really want a MaxMara one, but my bank balance doesn’t agree with me on that…)

nah. It focuses on the clothes not the wearer. Reference to group discussions. Within the parameters of the naming criteria I’d say. We’ve had a few cheeky titles in the past!

hopeishere · 06/09/2022 13:26

The red outfit was quite crumpled as well.

She's in a cutout top and loose trousers in Germany. Not sure about the trousers but probably because I would look enormous in them!!

MotherofPearl · 06/09/2022 14:26

HMQ looking reassuringly like herself in the Balmoral photos today. Personally I love the tweedy skirt and cardigan combo on her. I see she has a fire blazing behind her, so perhaps it's quite chilly in Scotland already.

When I saw the car pics I thought the tow looked lovely and reminded me of her evening dress from the wedding. However, seeing it now as a whole outfit I think it’s one of the worst things she’s worn; crumpled, ill fitting and managed to make her look like her bust is saggy (when it definitely isn’t!). Some of the pics look like she may have used body makeup to conceal tan lines too.

I like her hair much more than the tight look she’s been favouring of late though.

Gooseysgirl · 06/09/2022 15:13

Sorry not a great photo... Not her finest fashion hour IMHO. There's something it quite right about cut of the top, and the trousers sit wrong... maybe less volume in the legs and a narrower belt might have helped. Meghan for the love of god hire a good seamstress!!!

I don't think it's a kind title either, especially in the context of some of the threads on other parts of MN, past and present.

I de-registered once because of all the vitriol directed at MM and MNHQ's reluctance to do anything about it, but came back mainly for these threads.
Let's keep the thread titles positive, please.

Gooseysgirl · 06/09/2022 15:14

But 10/10 for negotiating the cobbles in heels - I would not be able to that with an ounce of dignity 😆

Gooseysgirl · 06/09/2022 15:16

And yes I agree re. title, definitely need something more in the spirit of our threads!

Eaumyword · 06/09/2022 15:27

Oh, I really don't like Meghan's latest outfit. The colour is lovely but the trousers seem too big (even for wide leg style) and I dislike the top. I've finally realised that high neck tops just make bigger boobs look saggy-must remember this!
For what it will no doubt have cost, I don't think she looks good, although I like her hair less harshly scraped back here.
I think it would have looked much better as a trouser suit with a matching jacket.

hopeishere · 06/09/2022 15:30

Those cream trousers were £1000!!! She was robbed!!

KillingMeDeftly · 06/09/2022 15:37

Spending £1000 on trousers is all very well if you can afford it but they shouldn't look like they came from Zara!

Serenster · 06/09/2022 16:29

I’m not sure about flared and full-length high-waisted trousers on a petite figure like Meghan’s - I think they just swallow her up. She was right to to pair them with a slim-fitting top, though sleeveless turtle necks (especially cream ones!) make me think of Gwyneth Paltrow.

RatherBeRiding · 06/09/2022 17:01

Those trousers on MM just look like they don't fit - and she really needs to lay off the bronzer.

frugalkitty · 06/09/2022 17:20

Also not convinced by Meghan's outfit today but as ever, I can't get past how much the hand holding annoys me. It's not professional and is completely unnecessary and irritates me beyond belief. Just stop.

Makes me think of Katherine Hepburn who nailed the look many decades ago
