Meghan spotted out and about, May 2024

[AliceOlive]

I didn’t see a new thread so wanted to start one. I’d really appreciate if everyone keeps this focused on Meghan-related fashion and lifestyle. I know I can’t expect only positive posts but let’s not get personal about Meghan or one another. 🙏

Unfortunately the Queen of Hertz frock did not fit the Nigerian princess properly.

And they may have had a flush of youth about them over 6 years ago but now one is channelling Henry VIII in his septic years and the other is giving Michael Jackson a run for his money tweakment wise.

Now we have no idea if they look rough for 40 or are doing a passable job at being 60 and looking like 50.

Here you go Alice

Sadly, while I know aging is inevitable, I think it's the weight loss that did a number on M's looks, rather than plastic surgery. Some of the photos of her show how her appearance has changed, the unfiltered ones especially.

If her dresses and trousers are following a 'trend' of overlong outfits, then she still has it wrong as the styles she is wearing are not the style for overlong fabric, nor are they overlong enough.

There is nothing wrong with looking older or indeed looking your age of course. I wish more would just embrace it rather than seeking to look like a boiled egg with features.

I just think that sometimes if you interfere with nature, you seldom win.

It could well just be the weight loss - there is a major star with a similarly alarming face - but I think it could be a combination of both. Who knows? All I know is that she was an attractive woman and now, well, she just isn’t.

And that is a curiously interesting brow.

This picture is one that my mum would have said was 'a warts and all' one and does her no favours. Possibly her weight loss has accentuated the tweaks?

Harry's look is what we would refer to as " posh boy" look. It's very common in certain circles. You've been at private school, you play rugby and polo, you holiday in the Caribbean, you may have some job or other because of who your family are and this is part of the uniform.

Is this a real photo? Not touched up to make her look worse?

Reminds me of how our curtains were in the eighties, they had to pool luxuriously at the bottom. (They were also ridiculously flouncy, what were we thinking?)

I love the movement of a gown that just sweeps the floor. it’s much more elegant not to have to “manage” your clothes. I don’t love the look of someone clutching their gown like Cinderella fleeing the ball just so they can move safely.

That photo does her no favours and I think it could be down to the camera distorting the shape of her head and face. Meghan without makeup is naturally pretty- not beautiful but definitely pretty. The brows look comedic.

Ohpleeeease

Reminds me of how our curtains were in the eighties, they had to pool luxuriously at the bottom.

That's exactly what I was reminded of. A friend had them - curtains, not dresses - and used to spend ages arranging the bottoms every time they were opened or closed.
I can see the dresses look nice in stills, but I'd be scared of tripping over when on the move.

I am not sure, but apparently it was a longtime M fan who posted it on her Instagram, along with a typical complimentary comment about MM.

She was an invited guest at an event and M apparently 'knew' her and went out of her way to greet her. She got massive abuse from M fans for posting the selfie because of how unflattering it was to M. She quickly deleted the photo and made a statement about it, To me, it does look like she touched up her own face though.

This is another example, from People photoshoot of the Vancouver tour.

I agree. The photo definitely looks to have distorted both faces

I don't think the loose skin around her mouth and cheeks could have been distorted by the camera though, could it ? Yes, the lighting is awful and not in the least bit flattering, but there are other photos of her with the obvious weight loss showing the loose skin she now has compared to only a few years ago.

What I like about these two pics is that in one her face is mobile, not stiff and the skin wrinkles the appropriate and expected amount when smiling. The other shows a relaxed face and youthfulness.

Taken in March 2024. An authentic image and she nailed it. Beautiful. 😍

Same with Meghan’s sister-in-law (wishing her well, a speedy recovery and happier times ahead). An elegant woman with a kind heart for children her authentic self is to be respected.

This thread is making me feel like shit. I’m not here to pick apart the face of any woman. It’s just nasty.

I was genuine when I said I wanted it to be positive and just about fashion. I’m also not here to police anyone, but wow. It’s just gotten fucking harsh.

I am aging myself and not enjoying it. I don’t want to participate anymore.

Another outfit that I find relaxing to look at and the flowing appearance lends an approachable air to the multifaceted individual wearing it.

Yes, I am aging and my plump face does not photograph well. Thankfully I am not in the public eye as the haters would have a field day!

These incredible women put themselves out there. They show up, do good work, raise children and support their husbands (and vice versa).

Posting this to help get this thread back on track and channel some fashionable positivity!

@AliceOlive I think most people have kept to the positive spirit you started. She’s a divisive figure, sometimes it’s hard to separate the character of the person from the look of them, and maybe that’s influenced a few comments, but you’re absolutely right to pull posters up and remind them we’re here to be nice.

Agreed. And let me say, obviously the fan-girling is intended to get a rise and it always does. That’s the reason I chose just fashion and not “current events” or whatever. I’m not a fan of many personal decisions made by H&M.

I know I sound like a hypocrite, too. But I’m getting jowly and wrinkled and have always felt sensitive about bodies and faces and hair. No issue with criticism about poor fashion choices or fit or wrinkled clothing. Even “WTH wear that to x event?”

Sorry all. I don’t think the OP owns the thread, either.

@jeffgoldblum thank you. I’m ok!
