It's a relaxed fit. She's not a flight attendant.

When you have stick thin legs, you don’t wear baggy, boxy shorts. It’s not flattering.

She could have paired the tee and baggy blazer with jeans or pants and looked a million times better.

This comment is just… what?

She has thin, toned legs. They look amazing in shirts and a pair of high heels. The outfit would look cute with jeans but the whole point of the shorts is to show off her legs, which are fantastic.

This is like saying that if you have a narrow waist and a flat stomach, you should hide it under baggy sweatshirts because, ugh, who wants to see you perfect waist-to-hip ration and toned abs. Cover it up! What on earth.

She does not have toned legs. At the jubilee where she wore a white coat dress, her no-waist under the thick coat ale fabric made her look like a fridge resting on needles.

Most fashion models have thin legs.

It's the calves, she just has bad calves. They are't shapely, toned, or athletic. There's nothing there.

Her body is weird. It's like a fridge resting on toothpicks.

Her body is the body she was born with. It’s weird to criticize something she has no control over. She’s kept herself in shape and is well-groomed.

I used to attend Orlando Magic games compliment of our firm. You would be shocked at the number of women who wore heels and even fur coats to the game. Fur coats in Orlando doesn't sound right, does it? But the women wore them. They dressed up for the games. LA is not DC.

There's a difference in dressing for a night out, even over the top Florida, LA or NY-style with body con clothing or edgy or sporty, and wearing a pastel linen set that looks more appropriate for an upscale brunch or a friend's afternoon wedding shower. This was a nighttime playoff basketball game.

Full stop? No. This outfit is tragic.

I don't know if I would say tragic. Its the outfit of a try-hard.

LMAO, tragic?? The only tragic thing is YOU spending time and effort mercilessly criticizing a public figures outfit, legs and so forth. Now THAT is tragic.

This is the Beauty and Fashion forum. Are you lost? Fashion is subjective. Some are good, some are bad. This is bad. How many hundreds of pages were the Trump ladies fashion choices? This is hardly new territory.

Ah so you’re doing it for fun & payback?

Why are you here?

Well, I see two other women wearing blazers in that one candid so...

Blazers, sure. Even a short suit in a different color and fabric, fine. She can wear whatever she wants, obviously, but this could have been better, especially for someone who is really into her image.

There is a difference between a blazer and a pink linen suit that you would wear to your nephews high school graduatiom.

I think the suit is fine but it’s such a mess. And the heels aren’t flattering and look dorky. Meghan is incredibly 90s, and sort of dated even with the evidence that she is a massive, massive shopper who doesn’t repeat outfits often. She’s done Pretty Woman at polo and her selections from Staud and Khaite and other potentially amazing brands are always off, most because she thinks she has good proportions and she does not. Face is gorgeous though.

You're making me smile because I loved my red linen outfit by Liz Claiborne that I bought in 1988 -- blazer with shoulder pads, white linen shell, and bermuda shorts with cuffs. I wore it with flats. Such a great outfit!

I am 61 and remember when Liz Claiborne was on the affordable but a little pricey side and super well-constructed. I don’t know what the modern equivalent quality- wise would be. Maybe MaxMara Leisure:weekend? I had a Kelly green linen blend skirt of hers that somehow had pleats and was semi- pencil shaped and perfection.

+1 (PP here. I'm tall and loved Liz Claiborne clothes. )

Oh wow, I think I had the same Liz Claiborne short suit in royal blue. Why didn't anyone tell us to save them for that day 35 years later when they'd be back in style?

+1 exactly! And yes, it did come in royal blue. I almost bought both. 😊

I love the outfit minus the shoes. Nothing wrong with wearing this to a basketball game especially in LA. I would've paired this with some cool kicks though.

It was apparently a Staud suit: https://www.shopbop.com/product/vp/v=1/1545581778.htm?extid=SE_Google_campaign%3DNB_Category_t1_Clothing_PLA_WMN_Dom_US_EN_GGL_PLA_adgroup%3Dus-t1-Clothing-JacketsCoats-Blazers¤cyCode=USD&gclid=CjwKCAjwl6OiBhA2EiwAuUwWZavpVkN2L2hJrUGIu-1qHqwOxWjvfXn5zpOYFHzQ60Rc4eB50R0ZBBoCOCEQAvD_BwE

Yeah I agree on the shoes. I think the nude high-heeled pumps make her legs look longer and thinner, which is normally a good thing, but for her kind of emphasizes her apple shape. And paired with the suit it's kind of business-y. I think I would have done loafers, or maybe a ballet flat.

Actually right on trend -- the color, the fit of the jacket, the matched set, it's all exactly on trend.

I think this version from Reiss (hers is from Staud) might have avoided the wrinkled linen issue that people are struggling with (I personally don't care, linen wrinkles, I don't get the issue), and it has a more tailored jacket. But I'm guessing people would find these shorts scandalously short on a real person, whereas the longer, slouchier set from Staud offers more coverage, especially at a sporting event where you are seated much of the time.

She is not apple shaped! I mean, maybe if she gained 30 lbs she would be, but she's not what most people would consider apple shaped as she doesn't have a large bust and she does have a defined waist.

I think most of these comments on her body are stemming from (1) strong and somewhat irrational hatred of her her, combined with (2) the fact that she gravitates toward really relaxed shapes in her clothes. When she was on Suits, she was wearing fitted sheaths and body con dresses, or tight wiggle skirts with blouses tucked in, pretty much ever episode. She has an absolutely slamming body. I'm sure two kids has shifted things around a little, but she still looks fantastic. It's just that she obviously does not like wearing super fitted clothes when she dresses herself. She likes looser silhouettes, which also happened to be very popular right now fashion-wise, and I think people assume she must be using them to hide body flaws. But she's not. She just likes her clothes to be a little drapey and baggy. Her prerogative.
