J'aime beaucoup la couleur mais cette robe est trop petite !
ReplyDeleteI agree wth you:lovely colour but too tight especially at the back of the skirt. This is more "Suits"-style and not royal style. That doesn't flatters her. By the way the dress reminds me of a nearly similar Stella McCartney electric blue dress of Catherine Duchess of Cambridge first worn in summer 2012. So Kate sets the trends not Meghan.
DeleteNearly 3000 pound for something that looks like it has been made at School dressmakers class!
Deleteoh go away. Frieda
ReplyDeleteAlways great to catch up with this engaging pair! H&M bring energy and focus to their efforts along with fresh, fun fashion.
ReplyDeleteMeghan’s best accessory is her poise and posture, which elevates this lovely, bright blue dress. Classic yet modern. Hair and make-up are fabulous. High level royal style. Well done!
Vera Veronika (-_-)
Honestly do not no what to say.
ReplyDeletePhoto number 8, screams "look at me"
Maybe it is a wee bit to tight, I do not no
Yes, I agree, I think the dress would be nicer if it was number bigger! Like on the model.
DeleteAgree with you!
DeleteShe can never get it right, right? It’s always too little or too much or something too. She is a beautiful, graceful woman. In my opinion this look is perfect: colorful, simple, elegant. She looks so healthy and radiant. Well done Dutchess.
DeleteJo
Agreed!!!!
DeleteJo, Kate, Maxima and Princess Stephanie get just as much criticism as Meghan, at least on this website. As with any other royal, most posters her enjoy celebrating her sartorial successes but just will also point out her failings. It’s the reason for this website!
DeleteEnvy is a desease.
Delete@Shinystuffbuff What differs are the constant character assassinations and obsessive "body language" readings commentors make towards the DoS. It's extremely pretty and frankly disturbing to read grown women making so many malicious and unfounded remarks. There is often a lack of kindness and a flavor of unkindness when it comes to comments about the DoS.
DeleteOn a fashion note I actually like her evening makeup. I think her vibrant lip color helps bring this dress to befit and evening event. I can see it for a daytime event but the makeup seals it.
Bashing in the fashion right has become a acceptable political sport.
DeleteSarah P.
the color of the dress is great but, the fit is not good. it bunches across the bust line, underarms and the skirt.
ReplyDeleteI like the colour and the sleek style without any frills. But: that´s a summer dress (both style and colour), and why didn´t she put on a coat while outside?
ReplyDeleteAs for the dress itself, I think it had been better with slightly more width in the skirt. That´s a very narrow cut, doesn´t allow for much leg movement. And it´s a size too small for her. Not a fan of visible zips.
Agreed. And The full length exposed zipper is unfortunate.
DeleteThe lady in burgundy is wearing a dress that seems to be a little more summery...sheesh!!
DeleteShe didn't wear a coat, because perhaps she decided to leave it in the car, or maybe she was hot, or maybe she just didn't feel like it.. you would think that she has committed some sort of transgression.
MM
Vanessa,
DeleteIt's not a size too small or she would not be able to get in the dress at all. Period. It is her size. But her bottom makes it appear to be tight. She is curvy. That's how it is with women with curves. We can't help it and we can't change it. Unless we have a surgery or something.
I can physically get into things two or three sizes too small, but that doesn´t mean it will look good.
DeleteBy your logic, the right size is the one that you can juuuust squeeze into, because only then you wouldn´t manage to get into the next size down at all.
I kind of find that funny.
You don't make any sense at all. Leave Meg alone. She's happy with her husband and child. Maybe you just can't deal with this fact?
DeleteI wish her all the happiness in the world. But I´m talking about dress sizes.
DeleteI don't think so at all. I believe you make it all about dress sizes because of your resentment for duchess Meghan.
DeleteI am so glad to see this couple. They look very happy and Meghan's Victoria Beckham dress is very becoming to her. Beautiful color and it looks way better on her than on the model. Harry is as good looking as always. Happy, lovely couple.
ReplyDeleteVery nice dress and the ponytail makes the outfit just perfect. She is a real beauty. Harry looks good too. - Siri
ReplyDeleteGreat color and a pretty style . Maybe a little tight but I’m an older woman ..
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. The colour is great. Unfortunately the fabric builds folds - it's a little too tight. But in addition with her hair and make-up it's a pretty style.
DeleteImpossible not to agree on this comment. I have nothing against the zip, it makes the originality of the dress, otherwise it would just be an ordinary dress. Not sure the hairstyle is fitting her so good.
DeleteLike the dress color, it complements her well.however, the exposed back zipping makes a nice dress looks clubbish. Her makeup is too heavy and hairstyle looks severe.
ReplyDeleteLovely dress colour, pity its too tight, Elaine
ReplyDeleteAgree
DeleteGlo
I like the dress, she looks very good with it.
ReplyDeleteThe lipstick is a bit 'too much' for this outfit, but the rest of the style is really nice.
But I can't help myself, everything looks very 'staged' like 'baaaam, here I am' 'hah, everybody's doing what I want, yay' .. Just my opinion, no one needs to aggree :-)
Well, what can she really do about it? Any of the royals? People are there to see them, they are the guests of honor. Every outlet wants to publish their picture. Unfortunately only Meghan gets criticized about this. Once again she did good job.
DeleteJo
You are not alone, Anna B. Totally agree with you. Feel really sorry for Prince Harry. Every time he speaks you feel that this is just not what he wants.
DeletePlease, the schedule has been announced for weeks -fail. Ana
DeleteYes I agree with it being staged
DeleteBut let's not forget she us an Actress
I totally agree with you Anna B. Looks very staged to me too.
DeleteRenee
Exactly what was staged? Staged is a visit to Ireland for no apparent reason. Ana
Delete@I agree. This is the first time she has heavy makeup, bright color dress in the evening and too much show of affection.
DeleteHowever, she looks lovely!
j.
Maybe Meghan seeded the clouds to make it rain too just for this staged photo...
DeleteAna ....agree with you 100%.
Delete:-) Well done, Anon 3:14 Good that some people still have a sense of humour and don't take criticism of Meghan as a personal insult.
DeleteAna, for info, if you are referring to the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in other posts, it was expressly at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to strengthen links with the Republic of Ireland post Brexit.
Ridiculous comment Ana - the visit to Ireland was "planned" not staged. The reason was to underline the links between the UK and Ireland (shared borders etc) and a visit to an EU country post-Brexit. They were representing this country as they are doing on all visits abroad.
DeleteAs to staging - can't see anything remotely staged, just a happy couple arriving at/taking part in an event.
G
Anna B. Why do you think everything looks staged with Meghan and not with Kate Middleton. Why is that? And why why would she stage anything? She's already part of the royal family, she has a child. So, what are you talking about. Is that something you would do? Maybe?
DeleteCredit to the photographer who took that shot under the rain with them smiling and all car lights around them-it's very nice shot and looks like a Tiffany holiday diamond commercial!
ReplyDeleteI agree! That is a very beautiful shot worthy of selling diamonds.
DeleteThe dress is a lovely color. It is a bit too tight, but she does have the curves to make it work. Henry...color coordinated, not a wrinkle in sight, looking trim and fit...magnificent! - MB
too tight, I can see her spanx. THe butt has a bad fit. Beautiul color, extremely poor fit.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the poor fit? Her curvy bottom? Or do you consider a flat bottom more fit? Maybe she should have surgery to her bottom to make it flat and fit.
Deletedress a little tight on the back, but otherwise stunning
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color dress and looks great with her complexion but the dress may be a tad too tight in the back. I like her midnight blue cloth and pumps. Her hair looks great. I have mixed thoughts on her make-up- in a couple of the shots her eye make-up looks very heavy.
ReplyDeleteE.B.B.
The dress is nice but way too tight on her bottom.if it was not so tight it would be perfect
ReplyDeleteOtherwise she looks nice
Mb
That's because she has a bottom. It's her size. It just takes the shape of her body. If she had it in a bigger size, it would be too big on her. She would look ridiculous and you criticize her. She can't win with you people.
DeleteLove this dress, the color is fantastic,specially because she rarely goes for those vibrant hues, which in my opinion are very flattering for her. She does need to go a size up, this is a common thing lately with a lot of women. 1 extra centimeter would have seal the deal for me.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, they both look great!!
@Cherry Blossom: so true! Especially if you ask a man (your husband e.g.) for advice. They always prefer the smaller size..... Do not take this advice to heart though. 😉 Extremely well fitting but not tight is the secret.
DeleteLily T.
Agree about the size. Someone should have advised her - buy a size up, then you can alter it so you can have the 'form fitting' look without it appearing to be too small for you. Love the look otherwise!
DeleteHappy to see these two again and Meghan looks great. I like the colour, style and fit of this dress. Given the way it's cut and is supposed to fit, going with a smaller size was probably a better choice than with a larger. Finally some nicer bright Spring colours - Kate in green and Meghan in blue. Both H&M look relaxed and happy. Good for them.
ReplyDelete- Anon 9:13
Just my opinion, I don't think a middle part in the hair looks good on anyone, it makes them look older. can't help compare that to the duchess of Windsor, a 1940's style.
ReplyDeleteFunny that. Why didn't you mention that yesterday when the DoC had her's parted down the middle? Hmm.
DeleteLiz, the hair parted in the middle it’s very common amongst women of color, from India, to Africa, to South America, I personally find it rather beautiful. Not so easy to pull for Caucasian women though.
DeleteMy hair naturally parts dead centre and cannot be persuaded to do otherwise. It looks fine - and doesn't make me look older. I would say that, of course :-)
DeleteFunny that. The DoC had her hair parted down the middle the day before but no harsh words for her. Hmmm.
DeleteEuropa.
I love the color of this dress, but it looks so tight and small on her. The make-up, I have to agree with others, is a bit too heavy.
ReplyDeleteWay too tight. Embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteWhere, why & how is it too tight & embarrassing?
DeleteMeghan looks great..
@ Anon 11:40, "Where, why and how": Pic 9 (and other media bring a lot more such pics) tells you where, why and how :-)
Delete(Ann.)
Would you feel better if she altered her body so we weren't reminded she is a woman wth curves? You should remember there was a time in the late 1800s when women wore bustles, which emphasized that very part of the body, while still being forced to keep their ankles covered. Fashon is always evolving, as is our idea of what is proper. Meghan has a very nice body, and she doesn't need to camouflage anything.
DeleteI agree chardonn8r! Well said.
DeleteMeghan looks far too “Hollywood” with heavy makeup and a dress that’s too tight. I still find the disrespect they showed the 93 year old Queen Elizabeth very hard to swallow. Not a fan.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that’s a beautiful dress color. So pretty. And her pony tail is pretty too. But her dress is too tight. A size up would look so much more professional and appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see H&M! Lovely dress,mske up and hairstyle. They seems so happy together. Wonder if M is pregnant...she has that glow :)
ReplyDeleteFashion wise they both look great and are putting on a good show;but look at there eyes they both look sad.
ReplyDeleteOh, you really have some pair of eyes, if you can find sadness here. I just can see a lovely, happy looking couple. Maybe I have to consider classes? Lisa
DeleteAgree with you, Lisa. The sadness comment baffles me. I only see a happy, relaxed couple and I couldn't be happier for them.
Delete- Anon 9:13
I see a couple trying 'too hard' to be happy. Harry is sad, but covers it well. Meghan is trying too hard, smile to big, almost too much, to cover her nerves. I do not envy their position this week, but it is what she wanted, so it is what it is. He dress is too summery, too tight, does not fit well. Her hair appears to have grown a foot longer since January. Must have used extensions. No quarrel with them or their plight, they are who they are, they want out of the spot light, it is their choice. Happy and relaxed is not what I see in this couple.... JT
DeleteTout ce que j aime.
ReplyDeleteÉlégance, chic et sobriété.
Robe simple mais très belle coupe et la couleur qui sied parfaitement à son teint .
Meghan est moderne de la tête aux pieds.
Joann
ReplyDeleteMeghan is following the trend with the pencil dresses too tight. Melania Trump does the same thing and I don't like them on her either. I am an older woman, so I'm probably behind the times. But I think showcasing the derriere is not a good look. Makeup too heavy. Meghan is a natural beauty and she doesn't need that much makeup. Still with all that, she looks good. I do like the color of the dress. And there is a glow about her that is pleasing. I like the way she interacts with people. She projects a genuine warmth. Meghan and Harry look happy and I'm happy for them. I wish them well.
Stunning.
ReplyDeleteI like the color but the dress is a bit tight. I found her smile a bit forced and fake. I agree with Anna B.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, she looks beautiful!! The dress is gorgeous and her makeup is so pretty!! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteHer blue dress is very nice and 'classic-style', though too tight …… Meghan herself is so beautiful, but her makeup is way too much, looks like it was created for a movie shoot.
DeleteBack to acting in future, perhaps?
-JJ
@Vanessa, re coat: Maybe she did not wear a coat because she wanted to present her best immediately after emerging for the first time. I find it - let's say: understandable, even if a bit too much media centered.
ReplyDeletePro: Beautiful color for her, perfect hair! and very good makeup for this occasion and this dress.
Contra: The dress would be perfect if one size larger. Frankly, it is not necessary for a dress to follow sharply the exact silhouette of her bottom. Wanting to look sexy is not the same as being sexy (which she would be one size larger too, without wanting to rub it in). If she chooses to do so (for the price of a front part with horizontal creases) in any other private function, so why not. But double tasteless in her last days as a royal, because then it looks like revenge. (Ann.)
This is a lovely dress, colour is superb, but it is too tight. I love the outline of it on the model much better, up a size and it would have looked terrific. The subtle, delicate pieces of jewellery are divine. Her shoes are a gorgeous colour but that clutch is marvellous, the colour is really lovely. Makeup looks great.
ReplyDeleteÈve 45. La couleur de la robe est jolie mais en cette saison non appropriée à la saison en Angleterre sans manteau quand à la forme cela fait très starlette .....
ReplyDeletewhy this color? In the previous years always white & black, now bright light blue for an evening event ... too bad she can do better. I would find a more reserved color more beautiful. The fit doesn't flatter either. It is too short for this standard length of dress, which is clearly visible in the breastline, Tailie. She could have asked Victoria for a little adjustment to her body shape. I heard that they were no longer able to speak well to one another. It is possible that it is a peace offer. It is a pity that you did not get it tailor-made because the shape of the dress is very beautiful. I don't find the hairstyle special either, a ponytail? Also too much make-up, I would find a nude lipstick better - I may seem too stale. But that seems to be well received by the fans, it is not my case. it has nothing to do with classic elegance. but i like the style, but a little less in all areas. Subtle elagnaz and more restraint also about the colors would be more appropriate. she is an LA child who wants to stand out with her appearance, but she would not need it and would bring her image more. Less is more - we know.
ReplyDeleteSome of you are jealous. Her figure is superb. She doesn't have a flat derriere like some people. The dress fits her like a glove. You have to have the kind of shape she has to wear this style of dress. Look at the backside of the model. Just straight. No shape whatsoever. Her back and her bottom are just one in the same. Basically, a dress in a hanger.
DeleteI am not a fan of Meghan but i think she looks better than ever her. Gorgeous dress and I like her red lipstick.
ReplyDeleteI think she looks great - the bright colour is fabulous (personally, I prefer her in colours) and her hair and make up are great. I can see a few creases due to tightness but I don't think it looks like she has forced herself into it so fine for me. She has a very nice figure.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is very beautiful, the woman is very beautiful only the woman is absolutely not the right person in this dress for my taste. The breast looks pressed in, the waist should have been lifted. It looks like she's not wearing fine stockings, which doesn't make her taste ladylike. It seems provocative to me, especially on this occasion. A coat or stole is missing. That is my opinion and it is not about the person himself. If you can already spend money, then a tailor should be affordable or just choose another model. -Dorothe-

ReplyDeleteYou're trying mercilessly to put her down by this "ladylike" comment. She wears a dress of her exact size that shows her curve and for that you think she looks ladylike. Why is that? The only reason I can think of is the fact that she married a popular, beloved british prince. Your envy is so obvious.
DeleteCorrection: you think she DOESN'T LOOK LADYLIKE because of a tight dress that shows her curve. But the thing is you can't undo what's already done. She'll always be a royal; unless the marriage is annulled. And at this point it's too late. So, dear, you're going to find a way to deal with it.
DeleteCréation bien portée par Meghan qui a de très jolies courbes ; superbes le clutch/pochette ainsi que les escarpins !
ReplyDeleteNice to see them back. She looks radiant, as does Harry, too. :-) The colour suits her perfectly — as it would also suit someone with very blonde hair and complexion. It’s a sleek and modern dress and fits Meghan better than the model, on whose body it hangs a bit too loose. And I agree with Jo, that Meghan obviously can never get it right in the eyes of some commentators. I find those reactions both odd and very sad. We should encourage and empower other women, not mock or judge.
ReplyDeleteI will miss the charisma and sparkle of this couple but wish them peace and happiness in the future!
Sadie
je suis lààààààààààààààààà , regardez moiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ; ma robe est trop moulante , mais c 'est fait exprès!! elle aurait pu mettre un manteau vu le temps mais bon on aurait pas vu sa robe et deviner son corps!!
ReplyDeleteOui commentaire assez réaliste! Tout y est!
DeleteSie passt einfach nicht mehr in das Hause Windsor !! PUNKT
ReplyDeleteHannelore, she never ever did fit into the house of Windsor. She was just exaggerating about the "fresh wind". Full Stop.
DeleteSince I can't stand her, unfortunately I can't be objective about the dress. Okay, it's nice... but a little tigh..you see she's already and completely in Hollywood mode. Frieda
stimmt
Deletethey have to do their duty, like we the people do.
DeleteHey, Gil, go leak your wounds. Hater.
DeleteToo much intimacy in the public. A little bit too much of anything. Hope everything will run fine for them.
ReplyDeleteThey support each other and imho they both suffer still a lot with "how the things turned out". Although there have been some friends who warned them long before their marriage.
DeleteToo much of this, too much of that, little too much of anything. What else? You have nothing else to whine about? You're jealous ignorant.
DeleteLuminous! and as always bright and beautiful! Great dress! As a couple they are again themselves at their Best.
ReplyDeleteI would like to make 3 comments, I like heavier make up for night time but it would have been too heavy for day time. Some people like their hair parted in the middle and some like it parted on the side and some ladies like to wear it both ways. As for her tush if you got it flaunt it honey!
ReplyDeleteElle en fait vraiment trop... il serait bon de faire preuve de classe en restant discrète... Elle ne m'inspire pas des sentiments tout à fait bienveillants.
ReplyDeleteIls sont un couple attachant parce qu'ils ne sont pas faux. De l'amour brille dans leurs yeux et leurs gestes de tendresse l'un envers l'autre le prouvent. Dommage, que nous ne les verrons plus aussi souvent que par le passé. Ils illuminaient ces chroniques sur la monarchie britannique qui, depuis leur départ, est devenue bien ennuyeuse. Ce qu'ils portent on ne portent pas selon les règles du palais ne m'importent peu. Je les aime pour ce qu'ils sont.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, just based on many of the comments here I don't blame them one bit for stepping away. Good for them!!
ReplyDeleteEuropa
My thoughts exactly.
DeleteAgree 100%. Unbelievable.
Delete- Anon 9:13
👏👏👏👏👏👏
DeleteIs Meghan's dress in two parts? It looks so on photo no. 6, 7, 8.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is tight at the bottom and belly and it crouches. She needs a larger number of dress, the tailor can adjust the dress to fit better.
Very nice dress the color looks great on her,but a bit too snug. I also think a little bit too much makeup?
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong. She has curves. She's not like a dress in a hanger.
ReplyDeleteShe's fine. There's nothing wrong with her. She has curves. She's not like a dress in a hanger.
ReplyDeleteYou can´t have capitalism without racism. Society decides who is black, who is white, sho is not. I don´t get that you make this decision for MM.
ReplyDeleteYour comment is nonsense. And I don't make decision for duchess Meghan(by the way, you should address her as duchess which she is. You're being disrespectful) She knows who and what she is.
DeleteThey will be missed from me.
ReplyDeleteLiza used the word luminous and I think that is on target. The color, her makeup and hair, and the big smiles are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI for one think the back side area of the dress is too snug, but that's a personal preference. I don't mind curves, I just don't think the outline of one's behind always needs to be on display (as it is a lot in fashion of today).
Other than that, they look happy and radiant!
It's very funny. I guess most negative comments come from those who have never heard how Harry's mom was treated by the monarchy before and after she told the world that Charles was having an affair with Camilla. The negative press coverage for Diana up to her death. Harry knows and still has deep wounds. What goes around comes around. Karma. Now the monarchy should review how their conscience. GO HARRY AND MEGHAN make a better world for baby ARCHIE
ReplyDeleteHAPPINESS AND LOVE, YOU ALSO DESERVE IT like the other families of the monarchy, WHY NOT. MEGHAN DON'T LET RACISTS SUPPRESS YOUR VALUES. EVERYONE WANTS TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY,(the monarchy had protected Charles from having an affair, now they're protecting Andrew) HARRY TOO PROTECTS HIS FAMILY AND I SAY WHAT A GOOD HUSBAND AND FATHER. THANKS FOR THE GOOD EXAMPLE
ReplyDelete🙄
DeleteI cannot stand her. However, flattering color, the dress doesn't fit well.
ReplyDelete@Wichita, You cannot stand her. what did she do to you? Other than she married the beloved, popular prince. other than she married into the british aristocracy. And she she happened to be mixed. By the way, the dress fits her beautifully because of her curves. If her backside was flat like certain people, she wouldn't receive so many negative reviews.
DeleteI think you need help Wichita. You can't deal with the fact that prince Harry married a beautiful biracial woman.
DeleteWichita, what has she ever done to you? you cannot stand her. Other than the fact that she married the handsome, beloved, popular prince.
ReplyDeleteOh, by the way the dress fits her like a glove. She has a nice bottom or derriere.
she soo elegant wow, well done meghan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
