Meghan Markle’s Latest Fashion Choice Sparks Debate
Former actress and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, known for her polished style, raised eyebrows with an oversized linen suit at the 2025 TIME100 Summit in New York City. Accompanied by her husband, Prince Harry, Markle took the stage alongside TIME CEO Jessica Sibley on April 23rd.
The Ralph Lauren ensemble consisted of a crisp white button-down shirt, a sandy-toned blazer, and matching wide-legged trousers, cinched with a brown belt. She completed the look with nude Manolo Blahnik pumps, subtle mini hoop earrings, and a gold Cartier Tank watch, formerly owned by Princess Diana. Prince Harry opted for a classic navy suit and white shirt.
While Markle’s outfit showcased a departure from her usual tailored aesthetic, it drew mixed reactions from fashion enthusiasts and royal watchers. Some criticized the oversized fit, describing it as “sloppy” and “messy,” with calls for a stylist and tailor. Others questioned the wrinkles in the linen suit.
This isn’t the first time Markle’s fashion choices have sparked debate. A recent appearance in a houndstooth maxi skirt on a warm evening also drew criticism. However, her penchant for midi and shirt dresses, particularly on her lifestyle blog, With Love, Meghan, has often been met with praise.
