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.

The tailoring makes all the difference here. If you’re going to wear it, make sure its the right size and fit. Otherwise it’s a miss.

What tailoring? Both suits are obv tailored but they are different fit/design. You don't buy wide leg jeans in a much smaller size expecting them to suddenly become skinny jeans.
Meghan is wearing a boxy, relaxed fit suit, inspired by menswear, with high waisted shorts. That's her size. The suit is in a much lighter fabric than the picture above, looks like linen.

The practicality of this outfit is a problem. She knows she'll be photographed and she knows that linen wrinkles, or at least her stylist should know this. There was no way this piece would end up looking good after so much sitting and moving around.

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.

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.

She is definitely an apple. By the way, women can be slim and be apples, pears, etc. It has to do with bone structure and how they carry weight.

love it or hate it but she's wearing it as the designer intended

Exactly. A very different cut, so don't expect it to be "tailored".
The linen suit doesn't have shoulder pads, another reason why it screams "relaxed".

If you think the designer expected women to push their oversize sleeves into large sloppy rolls of fabric past their elbows and wear light-colored linen while hunched up in an arena seat at an indoor evening game, I'm gonna question that thinking along with Meghan's.

If you don't think the designer was thrilled to have Meghan wearing this suit ....

In other words, the suit may be fine but for the occasion and the "styling" was poorly executed.

Right they are different looks but posted to show it was on trend, hard to say when they are so different. One is boxy and shapeless linen sack, and the other is fitted. Boxy and shapeless maybe works on tall bean poles but not for pretty much anyone else.

God I hate this style. So unflattering, so pink, so wrinkled. It’s a very elder millennial boss babe look on her

DP. Pretty sure the designer meant this outfit to be "elevated casual", so Meghan got it right. Photography is the only thing she didn't take into consideration.

And pushed sleeves are on trend.
I know someone out there is rolling your eyes but that's what's making it look cool and relaxed.

It’s her brand. Soft girl power plus Get the Look! plus wrinkles plus chicken legs. She’s tacky.

I don’t even like her, but I admire her cool, effortless looks.
