The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined Spotify's Steam On event to talk about their new podcast. After sharing on Valentine's Day that they are expecting their second child and Buckingham Palace's confirmation last week that the couple won't return as working members of the royal family, The Duke and Duchess made a surprise appearance at Spotify's Stream On event on Monday. The Duchess wore a peplum dress from Oscar de la Renta.
Oscar de la Renta Citrus Primavera Peplum Hem Dress
Love the dress , it is from the new Oscar de la Renta collection . The hair and make up also look nice and fresh .
ReplyDeleteAgree. A lovely and fresh style.
DeleteLove the choice of dress by the Duchess. Nice prelude to spring.
ReplyDeleteShe is supporting the mode American with Oscar de la Renta, the famous American/International stylist. Her soft makeup compliments well the dress.
Prince Harry is taking on more and more his "cool" Californian look with his casual, open neck shirt.
Nice photo of the couple.
Deadeggs, fully agree with you. Meghan looks lovely and her wavy hair looks shiny and beautiful. I've always preferred her hair more loose than very straight and tight, it suits her face better this way.
DeleteAnd to the blog administrator or moderator, Ellen: Thank you for keeping us updated, even though Harry and Meghan have stepped back from royal duties. I'm glad I can follow them here, and Meghan's fashion of course 🙃
They both look very good here. I really like Meghan's dress. It is perfect for the climate, which is warm right now. The print is fun and well done, not kitschy. The dress is a longer version of the one shown; it would be nice to see a full length image. The leaves around the neck are a bit too much for an every day look, but might work for a special event. Again, she wears minimal makeup, showing her freckles. I like the darker pants on Harry--I always have. ~d
ReplyDeleteI love, love this Oscar de la Renta dress. It reminds me of the de la Renta dress, Meghan wore while on tour in Australia. I hope to see both dresses again. Make-up looks fresh and natural. Her hair is well styled but I think she needs to cut a good 4-6 inches off. It overwhelms Meghan's delicate features.
ReplyDeleteThe room is nice but lacking personality. It needs artwork, photos, books, something.
E.B.B.
I agree - the dress is lovely and the hair needs a decent clip. - M
DeleteNice dress--perfect for early pregnancy. Like the pattern and the the peplum style. Looks longer on Meghan than on the model which would make it even better.
ReplyDeleteIf the dress is the same as the model then it is a low-waisted dress not a peplum dress. In the first photo I thought I like her more sleek hairstyle wit a few curls at the bottom then I saw the more full body photograph. I do not like all that hair pouring down the front on either side of the front one bit. I don't mind it very long but I think it should be tied back. She looks like Tarzaness.
ReplyDeleteNalerina
DeleteOh my, nooo...
You know you should only congratulate on everything they do and every clothes/hair choice.
Any other view is seen as hate.
( Irony).
I don't like this spaniel look either. Hair much too long. Dress has a very nice pattern - I have a very nice shirt with exactly these Italian lemons too - but form, almost a kind of babydoll-look - for an almost 40-year-old too girly. Frieda
DeleteI wonder why she change her engagement ring. I think that Prince Harry feel bad from this reason.
ReplyDeleteAlice
Please please please let's have enough of this. New my Royals is a great fashion blog which I really enjoy. As so many have said it is not the place for pathetic comments of a personal nature. I keep my views to myself as no one here knows the real story about anything and quite frankly the rest of us aren't interested. I dearly hope that we can be left to our relevant and knowledgeable comments. If anyone needs proof that goodness is something precious to strive for look at the previous post regarding Bhutan.
DeleteAlice, what are you talking about ? For some reason I can't expand the picture so I can't see her hand in detail. Do you mean that she is not wearing her engagement ring.? If that is the case, it could be that her hands are swollen, it happens a lot during pregnancy. I still don't get how do you know that Prince Harry is sad, how in the heck do you knock his feeling?
DeleteThat is about one of the weirdest comments I have read lately.
Love this dress, is whimsical, original and fresh, hair and makeup on point.
She looks lovely.
CB
But back in June 2019, a year and a half after we first saw the ring, it became clear that Meghan had redesigned her gorgeous sparkler.
DeleteIt's so sad.
Alice
I think that what you mean is that about a year after they married there were very small diamonds added to the band of her engagement ring that is all. In other words instead of a plain gold band to the engagement diamond ring all they did was add very small diamonds all the way round it so the ring has a diamond band. Not a major change just an addition. I personally thought it looked prettier before but that is just personal taste.
DeleteAs to that making Prince Harry sad!!! Did it actually occur to you that it might have been a present to mark a wedding anniversary a year later or some such explanation. Or maybe they both thought it would look prettier.
Yes indeed. That is a lovely dress and Meghan looks very good here wearing it. On another site, it was described as an OdlR maternity dress. Harry looks good too, and they both look relaxed. Very best wishes to them.
ReplyDelete- Anon 9:13
The dress is really unique and so sunny California. Are those applique leaves around her neckline? I would like to see her on occasion wear her hair off of her face. She has a small face and you do not get to see it as much.....Fitzhugh
ReplyDeleteThe lemon print looks so fresh, soft colour looks good with her skin tone. -Siri
ReplyDeleteI love Meghan's dress, her makeup has a natural effect, and her hair looks healthy, but perhaps a bit too long. Harry looks quite handsome in his white shirt and navy pants. While I know that Harry misses his family, they seem happy in their new environment. I wish them well.
ReplyDeleteOh mon Dieu qu'elle est belle ! Je n'ai jamais vu dans sa génération de femme plus époustouflante, dans la précédente rien ne peut égaler la chère Caroline
ReplyDeleteThey both look very fresh and healthy here. I love lemon prints. Not a huge fan of trapeze/drop waist dresses but they do make excellent maternity options.
ReplyDeleteI agree with her hair being too long though. I found the length that she wore announcing their engagement to be most flattering. She is a petite woman. It overwhelms her frame. But then again maybe being pregnant, she doesn't want to risk exposure for a haircut. Princess Eugenie's hair (and the dyed ends) had grown out in her latest pictures too.
The dress is cute.
ReplyDeleteRavissante dans cette robe ; joli maquillage ainsi que ses cheveux très bien coiffés !
ReplyDeleteGood luck to them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful dress, I can't help, I admire almost everything from Oscar de la Renta. But I'm not fan of decor in the room - heavy brown curtins etc. - if I may make a comment about this too.
ReplyDeleteToo long hair... She's not a teenager.
ReplyDeleteEvelyn
She looks great (and they both look happy). Long hair is not just for teenagers, it's for every age -- depending on your hair quality and other factors of course.
Delete-B.
Yes but she doesn't looks good with long hair.
DeleteMarie
I agree, the clip on extensions, her hair dresser said she put in her hair for this photo shoot, are just not necessary. Her own hair should be lush enough (taking pregnancy vitamins). Being almost 40, she is definitely past the time for 'super long' hair. With her petite face, she'd look great with a short cut.
DeleteHarry looks clear eyed in these photos.
@Anon 2:17 Sorry, I didn't catch your name. I couldn't find the source for Meghan's hairdresser sharing what she to her hair for Spotify. I only found a story on a tabloid site from a celebrity hairdresser from the UK giving his impression of what he thought was done to her hair. He mentions clip-in extensions were probably responsible for the look. He also calls it a "Hollywood makeover" which always gives me a giggle. He is in favor of the clip-ins and Meghan's look. I would love to read the source from Meghan's hairdresser you cite. Would you please post it?
DeleteI don't agree that there is an expiration date for long hair. No matter the age, hair must be cared for and styled. Young people with long hair that have thinning, split ends that are dry and bleached out look terrible...much worse than a forty-year-old with healthy long hair. I also don't understand what is wrong with clip-ins. On the rare occasion Maxima wears them, the heavens rejoice. I can never be sure if extensions are the problem, or if it is really a Meghan thing. ~d
The dress is a big disappointment...I don't believe Oscar de la Renta made this lemon pattern,low waist(so '80s..)awfull dress..
ReplyDeleteMeghan's hair are clearly extencions,and the bad ones..Prince is well dressed and groomed..
Looks like a pattern I have on a tablecloth...
DeleteM.
Yes, not high quality extensions and the dress looks like something you can use for the beach.
DeleteM.
Disagree, don’t know if they are extensions, but if somebody can afford the good ones it would be her. I am surprised at the ability to see the detail of the hair in these pictures... perhaps you need to find something ugly and perhaps racial about the woman...
DeleteSheeeshhhh

Delete11:46 P.M.
You are free to see what does not exist in others' comments.
Maybe some of us realize her hair is messy and probably with extensions just like we do when talking about Maxima.
I advise you to have a look at Maxima' s posts.

DeleteIt is very easy to see that the hair are extensions by comparing other pictures taken quite recently..
And ofcource i cannot accept the accusation of racist against a person.
Shame on you..

I never understand people who make snide attacks on people they don't know and have never met on the internet. Just my own opinion, of course!
DeleteI don't usually like Meghan's fashion but I love this dress! I love lemon prints and would definitely buy this if it wasn't in the de la Renta price range lol. I don't like the super long hair extensions a la Kardashian. I still think the hairstyle that suited her best was the one she had on Suits.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful colourful dress. I love Meghan' s style. Simple and chique. They look happy. The only thing which I would change is her hair. Too much ( extensions?) and too long. It looks for me a bit unnatural.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is spring fashion, but not that hair with clip on extension. heidi.
ReplyDeleteThey are so eager for privacy ... that they are more often to be in front of the cameras than ever before. And the culmination of this desire for privacy will be their conversation with Oprah. I'm sorry about the queen and his brother.
ReplyDeleteLea
We are going to explain to you the meaning of privacy again.... I guess is one way to attack them....
DeletePfffffffffffff
ReplyDeleteThere's really no point in showcasing this couple. If you like them so much, catch them in magazines/podcasts/TVshows/Netflix etc. They have no place in new my royals, Helen.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. They want nothing to do with being royal which is fine since America does not seem to have royal people. I do not care to see them anywhere, but especially on this website.
DeleteMeghan
Totally agree.
DeleteAmelie J.
Just to be clear I have been signing my posts as M, I will change it to MP moving forward as no to be confused with the negative words of that other M.
Delete@Alice, just curious, why are you sad? Because a person that you don’t know decides to change or embellish a ring, if that is indeed the case? You must be crying rivers when looking at the state of the world, if this detail makes you sad..
I think some of you are totally obsessed, and not in a good way...

ReplyDeleteNice spring dress, not sure about that long hair look. Notice Harry is centered and manned up while his wife looks coy. beth
Alice, you are correct I don’t understand your comment about sadness for a ring. Neither I understand why the life of perfect strangers light years away from you, have the capability of creating sadness for you.... I really can’t get that close to perfect strangers, if I did I would be concerned
DeleteMP
I think the hair piece is a topper. You can see where it starts behind the part on top. It is a beautiful long hair piece, and matches very well. Ann B
ReplyDeleteI truly didn’t want to comment because this thread will become another excuse to be nasty to this woman. As a hair stylist and beautician with more than 25 years of experience, It bothers me how people throw opinions of issues that know nothing about.
ReplyDelete1. Long hair is not just for teenagers, while most women as they age a loose fat in their faces, others can look great with longer hair. A lot has to do with ethnicity, Native American, Asian and African American women tend to look fantastic at any age with long locks. In this case The duchess looks youthful enough to wear her hair as long as she does in these pictures. Is just a preference.
2. Yes I would say that she is wearing extensions, but they don’t look cheap or badly placed, much to the contrary, I have seen a video and her hair looks lustrous and fabulous.
All of you stating that the hair looks bad and cheap, are just throwing anything to see if sticks. It would be refreshing to read opinion based on fashion and style from women that truly can separate their biases from their opinions.
Peace out sisters!!
Faby Losa
Agree with you whole heartedly. I am not so sure she wears extensions. Her hair has gradually grown much longer over the last year or even two. I don't care if she wears a wig or plaits or fringes or whatever. If she looks gorgeous and it suits her go for it. I bet that 90% of all the complainants colour their hair, curl their hair, straighten or blow dry their hair. THAT apparently is OK! My only quibble is that I don't think all that hair in front of her face suits her. She is so attractive with it straight off her face or a centre path and scraped back hair which not many people can get away with and she has a lovely face which I want to see. All that long hair is fine but tied behind her head I just find far more attractive on her if it is that long.
DeleteAs for the dislike of her low waist (80's) dress. I think it is an excellent solution she is 7 months pregnant for heavens sake I far prefer it to all those ladies who insist on tying a belt just under the bosom and above the bulge making them look so uncomfortable.
The dress is a beautiful seasonal piece and has a California vibe. Many homes have citrus trees planted in the yard. It's roomy enough than an expectant mom can wear it for a while. For the naïve, most of the women who work in front of the camera have some sort of hair enhancement. Pointing it out is considered gauche. Whether it is too much or too little, she paid for it so it's hers.
ReplyDeleteLove the alpha male look of Henry, rugged, lean. a little wrinkled, eyes sparkling, ... :)
Be happy Sir!
The Fan girl
Love the alpha male look? As compare to other beta non malelook he portrayed? Weird . pl
DeleteIn the picture, does he seem to be leaning forward, taking charge of the moment and has all the other descriptors used above? In plain English he ..to me..is attractive. If there is only a choice between the brothers .....
DeleteAlpha Male = dominant . The other males would submissive .. 101.
Fan girl.
@The Fan Girl You make a lot of good points. Yes, it is very common to see citrus trees in California yards, front and back. Sometimes it is difficult to get rid of all the lemons! The lemon print is very appropriate. As for hair extensions, it is very true that people that work in front of the camera do enhance their hair because of high def. It doesn't need to be extensions, it could be colored powders to fill in hairlines. I have used the powder myself when I had some hair loss due to a medical condition. It became very apparent when COVID lockdown had our local newscasters broadcasting from home. It wasn't just the quality of their makeup that changed. Hair color, hair lines, and hair thickness changed overnight. Regular people started learning how to focus on these very things because of how they looked in their zoom meetings. We have seen the comments here on how the royals look on virtual meetings. It is a big thing now. It is not exclusive to Meghan. Lastly, your comment that Meghan paid for her extensions, so they are hers reminded of an old Dolly Parton quote. Known for wearing wigs, but people still wondering if it is her hair or not, “People always ask me if they’re mine. Yes, they are—all bought and paid for.” ;) ~d
DeleteOnce upon a time on this blog, women talked about, fabric, prints, cuts, Pantone, style, trends etc., some commenters had a fantastic knowledge of fashion. We exchanged ideas and preferences.
ReplyDeleteNowadays it has become a hen house, nosy, judgmental, vengeful and poorly educated women lashing out against some Royals...
Very sad indeed,

Unfortunately your comment is sad and judgemental like the ones you despise.
DeleteIf you regret the good times when fashion was the leading topic, you yourself could contibute talking about your fashion ideas and preferences so as to ' elevate' this post.

So glad to see post from Cherry Blossom. I think she has been traveling to COVID hotspots to help and was worried. I have been scrolling down the blogs to see if she had posted - so relieved.
DeleteI rarely post anymore since there is so much nastiness. It’s interesting that the first posts are usually about fashion and the later ones delve into peevishness.
Anyway, very glad you’re alive!

Miss maple, if you don't want to be tired then don't read other people comments or come to the site. Take your own advice. lily
DeleteDress is springy print but I'm not sure about that style...on another note the couple made the decision to leave royal roles in pursue of commercial interests that fine. But I do think they're not doing anyone favor spouting out to Oprah. the reason they get all these deals is the royal connection and harry's mother legacy. Any live tv interview often backfire and cause embarrassment to all who involved. pL
ReplyDeleteTotally agreed about their interview to Oprah and their deals

Pl, And how is that any of your business?
ReplyDeleteP, did my comments offended you? Then you must be the kind that enjoys the tone of the thread. I am absolutely not unkind, I have eyes to read the vitriol, and poison spewed here, and the fact that I call it out doesn’t make an unkind person, I am stating facts , period. It doesn’t matter to me whether is about the Sussexes or anybody else. Spreading rumors, based on dubious publications, judging people and just being rude doesn’t do it for me, and frankly there are venues better suited for the keyboard warriors to get down and dirty. I feel the same when this nastiness is directed to any other Royal.
ReplyDeleteFinally, if you feel insulted by my comments I must’ve touched a nerve.
Sam
Again, you are giving no contribution, just judging commenters' views different from yours.
DeleteIf you do not like others' opinions, you should not be on a public site.
I do not feel neither touched nor offended and why then?

@ 7:57 How much style should there be in a roomy dropped waist dress with a gathered skirt for a pregnant woman? The appliques of leaves and citrus fruit are what makes it special.
ReplyDeleteSomeone mentioned that it looks like beach wear or a tablecloth. At this price, no. A mass produced version in print , not appliques, would be more familiar.
Most famous people have spoken to Oprah. Politicians, artists and musicians, to name a few. Why the doom and gloom even before the episode airs. They are allowed to speak their truth. Whether they use their connections or not, they are paying their own way so as not to be at the mercy of people who tell them what to do and when. It's called Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Ed.
@Ed
DeleteThere are some higher street fashion stylists who use shapes, prints and patterns in their creations which look very much similar to beachwear.
If a dress or any other item is pricey, it is not automatically the best piece of clothes one can buy(IMO).
M.
@M. The difference is that these are neither prints nor pattern repeats, they are appliques, meaning done individually by hand, probably in a small quantity, and therefore more pricey at the retail level. The point is, the more labor intensive the piece, and the quality of the fabric determine the price. Whether it flatters the wearer is another issue.
DeleteEd.
@ Ed.
DeleteYes, I know, because I have direct access to Italian fashion and also to international stylists, so I am used to seeing and wearing some of these pieces of clothes.
I do not have to go far, you see, Italy is full of high street shops and Italians have a natural penchant for fashion.
Oscar De La Renta is a very good stylist , but I do not like this dress, whereas I like other pieces of his collections.
The point is that not all is pricey or handmade is beautiful.
It can be for some, but not for everybody.
Regards.
M.
@M. 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' or in this case, the designer. I stand by my earlier statement that the quality of the fabric, labor involved and the design house determines the price. If you are not the target buyer then liking or not is irrelevant. I also speak from experience,....within the global industry. Ed

@ 6:05 No, they made a decision to move away and start a new life. No one deserves to live a life chosen by others. It is outsiders who have picked apart every word and piled on the nastiness.
