Meghan Markle has once again left people scratching their heads with her latest fashion choices.
This time, she stepped out in what is commonly known as a muscle shirt—though colloquially referred to by its more controversial term, a "wife-beater." The decision to wear such a garment raised more than a few eyebrows, leaving many to wonder about her intentions. Was there a hidden meaning behind it? Was Meghan making a bold statement, or was this simply an eccentric fashion choice? Some might speculate if the shirt was meant to be symbolic of a power shift—perhaps jokingly suggesting a "husband-beater" interpretation. The jokes practically wrote themselves.
But Meghan's unconventional fashion choices didn't stop with the muscle shirt. She paired it with a pair of parachute pants—yes, those billowing trousers that look like they could catch a gust of wind and take flight. The oversized pants seemed more fitting for a circus act than a public appearance, adding an extra layer of confusion to her outfit. The juxtaposition became even more pronounced as Meghan stood alongside two other women who appeared polished and refined. While they embodied elegance, Meghan's ensemble looked more suited for a night out at a club than a formal event.
In true Meghan Markle style, she added yet another layer of drama by changing outfits halfway through the event. It was a book tour, not the Met Gala, but Meghan felt the need for two distinct looks. One might wonder why a second outfit was necessary—was the first one not outlandish enough? Perhaps she felt the need to up the ante, switching to something even more puzzling. This tendency to keep the spotlight firmly on herself, no matter the circumstances, has become part of her brand.
And then, of course, there was the Oprah hug. Cameras captured the moment Meghan embraced Oprah, as if aware of how the public would react. The image seemed to be calculated—Meghan smiling as if this were a long-awaited reunion, while Oprah’s more subdued expression hinted at reluctance. You could almost imagine her thinking, "Please don’t get bronzer on my white dress." The whole scene, particularly after rumors surfaced that Oprah had avoided hugging her previously, felt staged and laughable.
As if the fashion spectacle wasn’t enough, eagle-eyed observers noted something familiar about the outfit. The muscle shirt and parachute pants combo echoed a style once worn by none other than Princess Diana. It seems no Meghan Markle outfit is complete without some homage to the late princess. Her ongoing attempts to channel Diana have become increasingly obvious, though the execution often falls short of her idol’s iconic elegance.
But let's not forget the real star of this show—Meghan’s shoulders. Yes, those sculpted, powerful shoulders have become a talking point all their own. Move over, Michelle Obama—Meghan's shoulder game is strong. One can’t help but wonder what her gym routine looks like. Is she bench pressing Harry? With shoulders that impressive, it’s almost as if the muscle shirt is a metaphor for the power dynamics in her marriage. Meghan's shoulders seem capable of taking down anyone who stands in her way, husband included.
