Kate's dress and hat were more appropriate for the occasion. She (or her team?) has impeccable taste.

Kate looks perfect, as usual. I don't care for MM's hat. It looks like like a sun hat for the beach. But hats are hard to pull off or most, especially Americans that aren't used to buying and wearing them formally. Her dress is fine, but did she not keep the cape on? Someone mentioned bare arms..

The cape is part of the dress — she didn’t take it off. The “bare arms” squeals came from the forearms peeking from under the cape. More ridiculous headlines used against MM and no one else (similar to the OMG! They’re holding hands!! cry).

I made the bare arms comment. I didn’t see it criticized in the press. I just prefer arms covered at funerals and other solemn events. I don’t think she looks trashy, I was just making a comment about her fashion choice. I’m also one of those people who thinks women should only wear closed-toe shoes to the office. It’s just an opinion.

Sophie had bare arms and hands, but she wasn't called trashy. Not one person criticize her lack of gloves and her elbow length dress.

Exactly. People look at Meghan and think "what can I criticize about this." They look at other members of the royal family and look for things to praise. It's really transparent.

Bc she didn’t have bare arms. Nice try.

Actually she did. There's a picture with all the women and Sophie had elbow length dress without gloves. I personally did not see a problem with her dress. It was quite lovely, but then again, I also thought all the women, including MM looked quite lovely.

+1 You can see exactly the same amount of Sophie’s arms and Meghan’s arms,

You’re joking right? So in that one angle they are showing the same amount of arm? You are honestly comparing a coat dress to a cape dress.

Ditch the hat, change the shoes and Meghan was basically wearing a cocktail dress.

MM should just go back home. She ruins the mood of all things royal.

Who are you to dictate? Too bad you are not the queen.

She’s wearing a black calf length dress with a high neck that does not fit very close to her body. Cocktail dress? Because you can see her forearms? You’re on crack.

I honestly think part of the issue here is that unlike most of the royals except Kate, MM is a young(ish), attractive, stylish woman. She shows them up looks wise just by showing up. She had to learn to dress as a young working actress with minimal access to stylists (she would not have been able to afford them until the last few years if her career). She us naturally very beautiful and knows how to wear clothes to make herself look good. Most of the royals don’t. She looks amazing and they look okay so she gets criticized for “breaking protocol” but the rules are very selectively enforced against her out of spite.

Cocktail dress? Ummm no

MM looked demure. Cape dress was perfect and comfortable, for sure. Stop comparing her to Kate. It’s no longer relevant.

Let's talk Lady Sarah Chatto, Princess Margaret's daughter and mother of 2 hot sons



Everything's great - especially love the brooch which was a gift from mom that she wore as a tiara on her wedding day. But the hat....not digging the hat.

This comment so perfectly exemplifies how much MM cannot win in this world. Literally no matter what she does, people will criticize.

If she'd worn a simple black suit, people would have made cracks about her acting career.

If she'd worn a dress coat, she would be accused of trying to copy Kate.

If she'd looked better, she'd be accused of trying to grasp for attention.

If she'd looked worse, she'd be accused of not trying hard enough for the occasion.

Imagine trying to get dressed or function in a situation like this. If I were her I would want nothing more than to hop a plain back to LA so I could go hang out in the pool with my kids and forget all about these horrid people. I wonder if she regrets falling for Harry. I really do think she just fell in love and got swept up in the royal fairy tale aspect and had no idea the degree to which both the press and certain members of the family would instantly seize on her as a target for their suppressed rage.

I think we ALL want her to hop a plane home. But she doesn’t have a platform without her Royal connections and she wants to be mega-wealthy and famous. That’s why she can’t stop talking about them. If she wanted her privacy, goodness gracious, she could have it. It would be relatively easy to move to a town where she could get it.

You are nobody.

We all are nobody. It’s an anonymous forum dude.

So the pattern I see here is that women who are especially thin for their frame or age or who have had work done on their faces get complimented for whatever they wear, and everyone else (MM, Fergie, Beatrice, Camilla) gets roasted even if they’re wearing similarly tasteful/fugly stuff.

My winners are Anne and Charlotte. Unrelated, but at the end Charles was grimacing and hobbling, and Anne was expressionless and looked like she could walk for another 10 miles. I have a lot of respect for that.

I do think thin women are often less criticized because it’s easier to wear clothes. I’ve been a size 2 and a size 10 and I can tell you, at the lower end, almost everything looks good. It’s not hard to find something flattering. Isn’t it widely known that MM got a nose job, though? She is very highly groomed and it works for her, but she’s not particularly natural.

I’m not sure this is all that is happening. I think pretty much every one thought Sophie looked great? And Bea is quite thin and in my opinion pretty, but her outfit is a bit of a miss game.

My mother always said that children should never be dressed in black, but then again, we were not royals.

I say and follow that philosophy. But I wouldn’t have a problem dressing a child Charlotte’s age in black for a funeral, especially if it were a State funeral. (Not that I’ll ever have to make that decision…)

The headband was RIDICULOUS, especially for the wife of the leader of the free world. Zara Tindall’s hat was of the fascinator genre and wasn’t the best look, either. I haven’t seen that mentioned here.

Yeah, that’s fair. I guess I was thinking of Fergie. I see your point! Bea is relatively thin but it’s always hard to see that due to her clothing choices.
