I normally quite like MMs style but that's giving me Star Wars

It's giving me swathed in bed sheets pretending to in Star Wars.

Cassiope · 04/10/2025 20:36

She's wearing her white pyjamas and appears not to have noticed she's got the bedsheet caught round her neck and is trailing it along with her. Full marks for ENC insouciance, but no.

The cape is a different shade to the suit which I'm finding irritating.

Late to the party, but that was a real tiara and bling fest in Luxembourg. 😍

I saw some footage of Meghan arriving at the fashion show and her outfit looked a lot better in motion. And if you can't take a risk at Paris Fashion Week then when can you??

clipboardz · 04/10/2025 20:47

yes, better to take risks and lose some.

Maireas · 04/10/2025 20:51

I agree, and I think it's a modern silhouette, with the loose trousers etc. @frugalkitty is right that the cape/shawl is a slightly different white though.
I think it's an elegant outfit, and a little different.

Meghan looked stunning as always, her make up is gorgeous. That tight bun is not my favourite look on her, but it's not the worst.

I can see what the idea was for the outfit and it's a definite "fashion week" look - but I just don't like it. It's not wrinkled - which is good. But it's just too much - too baggy, too long, too everything. Reminds me of that god awful red baggy thing she wore in NY.

It's definitely says fashion week. But it's a miss from me. Hopefully she'll have something much better the next couple of days.

The court of a Roman emperor more like! I wonder if I can borrow it for a toga party?

Don't like overlong sleeves . Gorgeous fabric, beautifully made though

Not a fan of slicked back hair on anyone, ever. Imagine having to wash that gunk out.

themessygarden · 04/10/2025 21:12

Holy Moly, 😳😳. All sorts of wrong, emperors new clothes springs to mind, in more ways than one.

Her no makeup, makeup is really nice, her skin is glowing.

Me too, the outfit would have been better without the cape

bluegreygreen · 04/10/2025 21:35

Two different shades of white, which always grates on me. Otherwise looks elegant, and make-up lovely.

bluegreygreen · 04/10/2025 21:37

Thanks for all the Luxembourg photos upthread 😊

Indianrollerbird · 04/10/2025 21:46

Sorry to say it, but Meghan's Paris outfit is giving me Indian mourning dress vibes. And her hair is too severe.

MrsFinkelstein · 04/10/2025 23:25

I'm basically posting the same thing: much prefer this outfit and look. Makeup perfect. (Personally find the tight bun too severe but it does work here). Think more delicate shoes might have worked better?

This is a hit for me. Still photos don't do it justice, it is so fluid on film.

That black dress is stunning in the video clips, the back of it is wow. Straighter dresses without obvious waists really suit her.

Totally agree. The white outfit was Balenciaga, I'm not sure of the dark outfit. But the quality of both is head and shoulders above anything else she's worn lately. She's finally got a stylist who knows their stuff.

clipboardz · 04/10/2025 23:41

That black dress is running, very much my style. I would have chosen more delicate shoes though.

clipboardz · 04/10/2025 23:41

stunning even!

Maireas · 05/10/2025 06:54

I love the black dress. The cut is just perfect for her.

I can’t rest till I know why Stephanie of Lux didn’t wear a second gown for dinner! That seems bizarre. Amalia and Elisabeth looked beautiful. Pity Delphine can’t go to these events. I’d love to see what take she would bring sartorially to a royal banquet.
Also GDMT and Henri were hot in their day.
her wedding dress is giving Snow White gets married.
