At SXSW, Zenia stylist Laur Roach didn't hold back in her critique of Meghan's outfit, likening it to a sack of Spuds.
However, Meghan Markle, taking on the role of a fashion icon, made a statement on International Women's Day by joining a celebrity-packed panel at the event. Introduced as Megan, The Duchess of Sussex, she delved into a fervent discussion about the urgent need for gender equality.
For her attire, Meghan opted for an ensemble featuring an off-white oversized shirt and a maxi skirt from Juliea Heritage, priced at $970 and $1,050 respectively. While the skirt accentuated her hips, it trailed slightly on the ground, indicating a missed opportunity for tailoring. Completing the look were possibly the Valentino Roman stud mules, a choice seen repeatedly, priced at $717.
Critics didn't mince words about Meghan's outfit. Roach, a renowned stylist for Hollywood A-listers like Zen and Carri Washington, pointed out the mismatch between Meghan's attire and the smart trouser suits donned by other women on stage. The oversized, wrinkled look, according to Roach, missed the mark for a formal setting. Others chimed in, criticizing the color choice and the overall lack of cohesion in the ensemble.
The criticism didn't stop there. Meghan's outfit was likened to something out of a bargain bin, with one commentator humorously suggesting it looked like she wrapped herself in Walmart fabric remnants. The consistent beige and wrinkled appearance of her attire prompted speculation about her fashion choices and their implications.
Despite the backlash, Meghan's commitment to her own style remains unwavering. Some saw her outfit as an expression of her unique taste, while others couldn't help but label it as another addition to her collection of overpriced yet unflattering attire.
