The annual awards recognise the courage of children and young people with serious illnesses and complex care needs.

I love a power suit but black for a children's event? I'm guessing Meghan did this on purpose so the focus stays on the event.

Yawn. Another black ensemble with a blazer? This would have been a perfect event to bring in some color.

I do really like the camisole. But..black...again? This one has Jessica written all over it. She wore a very similar red one to an event a month or two ago.

Again the messy bun.

She has great hair, great body, great complexion, a large budget and plenty of places to go...give us something interesting!

Meghan looks good in this outfit. It fits her nicely. I don't think it was appropriate for the event though. It draws too much attention to her not the charity. It is controversial and draws attention to her because it is black, pants and her messy bun. Black is definitely not something to wear around sick children. It is much more appropriate for a business meeting. I will admit I am not familiar with her as an actress. Did she only were dark colors then? She looks very somber.

Honestly, the more I think about it - the more I think this outfit was wildly inappropriate.
She stands out BECAUSE she's in black, head-to-toe. It's a little too funereal, which considering the event is with sick children and their relatives... seems like a poor choice.

I don't like the reminder of somber, serious times.

Something lighter colored, bringing a lighter mood and a sense of fun/whimsy, while still being classically cut would have been a more happier sight and more appropriate.

To be clear, the outfit is not terrible. Put it in a different location with different people, I'm happy. The hair, makeup, shoes, earrings, clutch - all totally fine.
The black on black on black on black... a little too sad.

I agree what was she thinking to turned out in all black outfit for a sick kids charity event. She needs to focus on the event and style for those she is visiting not for some image she is trying to create. The royal family does not wear a lot of black during the day - on some occasion yes like remembrance day.

Princess Dianna always wear bright colours when with children. Could she not wear something brighter, colourful. Or even like that yellow dress but maybe in some other stunning inviting colour. The messy bun is cool, I like it. Who wants hair that is always stiff and straight. I like her style but it most of the time ill fitting, or not right for the occasion.

Were she having a meeting with some councilman, or stopping in to look at some plans for a new place to be opened - this outfit would not be out of place. I certainly don't dislike the outfit. It fits nicely, it's classic, it's refined.

But for an event for children, I fear it is too much black, too somber, too serious, too severe.
She doesn't have to come in like a beachball, but a bright top under her jacket wouldn't go astray.

Or a midi dress in a brighter or lighter color. Still classic and refined, just something a little 'prettier' a little 'lighter', something a little more fun.
She looks like she's going to the funeral of a business acquaintance.
The black is too severe I'm afraid, it's a little too somber and I really felt like it made me thimk of a funeral... which I thought was an inappropriate and unfortunate allusion when meeting with sick children. :(

It's a miss for me.

She looks so good from head to toe in this outfit! :) Classic and modern at the same time.
