Malala looks lovely, I'm not keen on Meghan's trousers. I like the colour of the wrap thing.

I love that outfit on Sophie - really relaxed and casual and gorgeous grey jumper. I love grey with white.

I don't like Leti's pink dress - don't like the pleats/shape but love the darker pink coat - wish she'd put her arms in it though.

Im trying to find something to go under a wrap thing but Im not sure ginormous white trousers is quite what I would choose.
I see Sophies point...it has been so mild so far the white jeans don't need to be packed away yet. Her boots look comfortable.

I think Meghan's wrap would go with deep autumn colours (forest green/navy?) and leather boots.

I agree that would be a fab combination. But she needs far less material .Its completely swamping her.

I love wide legged cream trousers. But those are absolutely awful. As is the high-necked top. I don’t mind the tan coat/wrap thing. But the trousers are dire. Maybe they look better in person and just photograph very poorly.

SqueakyDinosaur · 08/10/2026 16:21

I only realised just now that I'd failed to watch this thread - I was looking at the reports of Meghan's unspeakable outfit and realised that there was NO WAY the S&B denizens would not have Strong Views on it!

I don't really like most brown/orange/yellow so even the wrap looks awful to me, but the trousers are really indescribably bad and make her look so bulky.

I think the proportions are wrong, I think she's very petite.

I get nervous when I see super long trousers. They are a trip hazard .

gingercat02 · 08/10/2026 17:48

There really is no need for Megs trousers! The wrap thing is OK for a casual lunch.
Sophie looks like every horsey mum I know.

HollyhockDays · 08/10/2026 17:50

Those trousers of Meghan’s are terrible. Too long and too wide. And creased. And the top doesn’t work with them.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 08/10/2026 18:21

Meghan looks dreadful. Does she not own a mirror?

ItsAlwaysTwins · 08/10/2026 18:29

I usually like Meghan’s clothes, but no. All kinds of wrong today. The coat or wrap thing would be great with tailored white cigarette trousers to balance out the volume.

stillavid · 08/10/2026 19:03

Meghan is beautiful and slim so just how does she get it so wrong? Do you think she has a stylist?

eggandonion · 08/10/2026 19:07

I think in her head Meghan is taller than she is in reality?

I especially hate them when they're white. How can they possibly not get ruined in a single wearing, even if you're mostly going from taxi straight to an indoor location? It's almost as if the wearer is showing off how they can afford 'disposable' designer clothes.

Oh my giddy aunt! Words fail me.

Gosh! She is positively drowning in fabric there. And I am wincing at those white trousers the days after heavy rain in London.

I think when she gets it right, she looks fantastic. I think there's nothing wrong with the trousers per se, it's just that they're very wide and not quite working with the top and coat. If they were just shortened a little, and worn with a contrasting jacket, they'd probably be ok.

The problem is she needs them in petite size to get the proportions right...my dil is tall and can wear more voluminous clothes than my daughter.
And I agree that Meghan can look amazing in the right clothes.

(Flashbacks to Trinny and Susannah pulling and poking at victims😀)

smilesy · 08/10/2026 19:45

I said elsewhere, I wonder if she was trying to wear something appropriate for meeting with a Pakistani Muslim lady 🤷‍♀️. Whatever the reasoning, nothing about that outfit is flattering to her, unfortunately

A colleague at work tripped over her long trousers on her way to work and gashed her face and bruised her face and body badly. Her teeth hit the pavement and she was unsure for a while if there would be lasting damage. Extra long trousers are dangerous.

But I wonder in M’s case if it is a case of the trousers being borrowed not bought so she can’t alter them? If she has borrowed them Ralph Lauren are not going to be happy when they get their £1,700 trousers back totally ruined on the hem.

Maireas · 08/10/2026 20:00

I was just thinking not that long ago people were in super skinnies, weren't they? Trousers have totally changed.

Not sure how many Ralph Lauren will flog on the back of this outing. And if they do lend clothes then they should have them tailored to the wearer. Who is after all a very high profile woman who can sell the right clothes.
