Yes the neckline is weird but the dress is a stunner anyway, sorry but show me a British royal other than Kate who has EVER looked this good in anything:

Speaking of a dress making your bust look weird!

It's not that it makes your bust look weird, it's that QEII had, in popular parlance, a set of tig ole bitties.

Her eyebrows look microbladed oh look she's a trendsetter.

Sorry but regardless of the size of your bosom, wearing a big red sash over it and then affixing a giant gold medal to your left boob and only your left boob does in fact tend to draw the eye in a strange way.

But please, go on explaining how Meghan is a travesty compared to this family of fashionistas.

That wasn't a fashion choice. It's Queen shit.
You thought the sash was fashion thing?

Whoever posted that photo as an example of a royal looking particularly stylish apparently did.

This is the Beauty & Fashion forum, not the worshipping royal deities forum. Everyone gets that the Queen's power lay in being the Queen, not looking fashionable. But there IS power in being very stylish and beautiful, and it's a power that Meghan Markle wields, and it appears that some people are very bothered by this which is why she is consistently criticized for her appearance despite consistently looking better than the most of the BRF at royal events, including the Queen's funeral. Even if you don't personally like her dress, the idea that she wasn't one of the best dressed people there is a joke. I don't personally like royal drag but can acknowledge the people who turned it out very well, including Kate and Sophie.

You're making this personal, and it isn't. Just because someone doesn't like her outfit, it doesn't mean that she's ugly and unloved. It's just the outfit.

The green dress fits her very poorly. Look at the waist area and you'll see it riding up, it's clearly too small for her, and at the frontal shots you can see her underwear lines.

The same goes for that iconic blue dress under the umbrella shot. It's too small in the torso and rides up like there's no tomorrow. She often wears tops that aren't fitted properly in the upper chest so has smiley lines radiating from her armpits.

Here's the frontal shot so you see what I mean:

I think she could use some static guard here. That’s the biggest problem I see. Otherwise, this dress and it’s color in her is amazing in my opinion.

This is what happens when you eliminate skilled tradesmen like tailors and seamstresses. People simply don't know anymore what a well fitting dress looks like.

I think this is a great outfit but looks too tight on her arms. Looks a bit uncomfortable. She’s very beautiful though.

I don’t care for the 3/4 length sleeves.

This looks nice but is also incredibly dull and lacking in personality. This was during the phase when she was just dressing in neutral tones, wearing almost exclusively inoffensive but bland day dresses with matching accessories and trying to keep her mouth shut. It looks nice but is unexciting. People who like her best like this are the same people who constantly compare her to Kate unfavorably. Kate is great at this kind of thing because it's her actual job. Meghan can play this role for a time but it's not actually who she is, which is why ultimately this tiny box people put her in started to feel too tight.

People can criticize stuff like the bright green outfit all they want but you can really see her personality in it -- those photos of the cape flying out over her shoulder while she looks right at the camera with the hat perfectly angled over her face? It's a fashion moment, and the fact that the dress is not perfectly tailored doesn't really matter. It's not about the dress fitting perfectly. It's about the color and the lines it creates to make a really exciting and appealing photographable moment. She wore it right around the time that they decided to move to the US and I remember seeing it and thinking "wow she must be happy to be getting free" and it made me more sympathetic to her. That's skill on her part. It very different from the kind of skill Kate or the Queen used in their clothes. But it's still skill.

We disagree on that. I think the olive green dress looks rich and calmly self-assured.

Everything you say about the bright green outfit would have just as true if it did fit properly in the torso.

.

Interesting I love the olive outfit, including the hat. Very appropriate but interesting cut and flattering to her figure.

+1. I like the olive look a lot!

+1. I think this is from when she and Prince Phillip flew back from their trip after receiving the notice her father had died unexpectedly.

I imagine MM is harder to dress than KM. Kate is tall, slim, narrow and has equal body proportions that likely don't require much tailoring.
Not so for MM - she's wide wasted and smaller everywhere else. MM has great ankles.

Very nice coat and brooch.

I think he's just bending down to speak to the Queen Mother -- he was extremely tall. I sincerely doubt Prince Philip ever cried in public (or potentially in private -- he seems like the kind of man who might have had it as a point of pride that he had not wept after achieving the age of 5 or something).

She looks beautiful here. The only change I would make is to give her a higher bun.

She was still postpartum here I think? That neckline does not lend well to that time for her and most women. Extra fat, lumpy breasts...all totally normal but shows yet again that she doesn't know how to dress for her body type. Red is a great color for her though.

Oh and thanks to everyone for all the comments on her undergarments...it must have gotten in my head because i made a last minute and much improved change in mine when getting dressed this morning!

I like the coat and brooch as well but the Queen's head covering is bizarre. Perhaps it's the black and white photo but she looks like she's wearing scarf wrapped around her hair? I'm guessing it's more of a turban style hat IRL but it is very odd looking in this photo.

Hmm, turns out even the Queen could make fashion missteps when wearing fleeting trends. Imagine!

And there is Edward in the background. Because of his abdication to marry Wallis Simpson and George VI's early death, we're talking about Queen Elizabeth's funeral and 70-year reign oday.
