It's a bit reminiscent of Sarah F's duvet wrap from back in the day.

Yes it is isn’t it - just with the colours inverted I think?

How do these magazines get pictures of someone at an event before the event happened? , I’m confused 🤷‍♀️

bluedancingtwiglet · 08/02/2026 11:18

The designer is one favoured by Beyoncé's mom and other black women as he is black as well. He's very eccentric and this while not flattering at all could have been worse. Some kind of weird bird, pigeon or emu look ?

Wasn't this event just last night?

The purpose of the black dress coat, where her arms bend at the waist- is an attempt to hide her shape and give her a waist. It’s obvious the dress is not the right shape for her.

The thick duchess satin reminds me how difficult it was for her to get a good fit for her wedding dress. The dress would have looked a lot worse without the dress coat hiding it.

In one of the DM comments it said ‘ so she’s going for the JLO cartel bride look now? ‘ 😂

Most red carpet type dresses are dreadful TBF.

bluedancingtwiglet · 08/02/2026 11:56

It's just not a flattering dress - assume it's a loan? She's squeezed into the waist hence showing who has been eating all the jam but is not filling it at the bust . She just doesn't seem to get it with formal clothes now.

ThePoshUns · 08/02/2026 11:57

I think that is the best she has looked in a while. Was Beyoncé not there supporting her mum? Can’t see any photos of her .

chunkyBoo · 08/02/2026 12:00

She’ll be there trying to get pledges for her fake charity

ThePoshUns · 08/02/2026 12:00

Definitely grifting the night away.

EmpressSisi · 08/02/2026 12:12

I’m not a fan of the dress, but it’s certainly not her worst look. Actually, it’s one of the better outfits she’s worn in a while. My main issue is the fit. Massive gaping at the bust whilst simultaneously squeezing her in at the stomach, making lumps and bumps that aren’t really there. I really wish she’d get her clothes tailored.

MrsFinkelstein · 08/02/2026 12:17

It's her best formal look for a while, but I assume a loan for the evening as it's not actually fitted for her? Too loose at the bust and too tight at the waist. Not really a fan of the cape thingie but it's not awful. Bit boring colour - I think she suits more bold jewel colours so much better.

Make up good (but a bit of a repetitive look for her), hair is boring (again). The earrings are great.

What happened to 40 at 40 ?

bluedancingtwiglet · 08/02/2026 12:28

The designer likes these swathes of fabric judging by other creations.

Need you ask?! 😆

bluedancingtwiglet · 08/02/2026 12:36

She should have had a red dress to match her jam photos. Could have had a little bag of a jam jar.

Yes exactly and variety posted that on the 4th! With a picture of that outfit! 🤷‍♀️

That's actually kind of cute! I could imagine the red accent with her black and white outfit, perhaps red shoes to match.

Meg would never think to be tongue-in-cheek in that way. She takes herself too seriously.

Omg that’s actually adorable! Look at the spoon shaped zip 😍

But she takes herself far too seriously to make fun of herself like that. She really does lack a sense of humour!

If there’s one thing my mum taught me it’s that, when the elastic goes on your underwear and they fall to the ground, step out and walk away. Don’t stand there and let someone take a pic.
