Meghan Markle’s NYC Fashion Foray Sparks Online Debate
Meghan Markle, recently accused on social media of mirroring Angelina Jolie’s style, is once again a topic of online conversation, this time for her wardrobe choices during a surprise appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show.
For her Wednesday visit to the show, the Duchess of Sussex sported a sleeveless ivory cashmere crewneck sweater from J.Crew, paired with high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, and nude pumps. While the ensemble presented a polished image, it ignited a mixed reaction online, with many questioning the Duchess’s choice of dramatically oversized trousers.
Comments ranged from “They look beyond ridiculous on her,” and “There is no reason for her to wear pants that big,” to harsher critiques like, “Her fashion is a tragic mess most of the time.” Some even speculated about her motivations, suggesting she wears expensive clothing regardless of its aesthetic appeal.
This isn’t the first time the Duchess’s fashion choices have drawn criticism. During a recent NYC outing, which included attending a Broadway performance of Gypsy and a subsequent dinner with friends, Markle opted for a black-and-white Carolina Herrera houndstooth skirt with a slit, paired with a black Veronica Beard silk shirt.
While the outfit aimed for chic, online critics on platforms like Reddit deemed it a miss. The length and pattern of the skirt drew particular ire, with some labeling it “horrible” and “hideous,” and others pointing out the perceived seasonal inappropriateness of houndstooth for spring and summer.
The overall fit and blouse pairing also faced scrutiny, further fueling the ongoing conversation about the Duchess’s sartorial decisions.
