What a lovely top. Such a gorgeous hairstyle and make up.

She is glowing.

This whole look is a no for me. The shirt is not flattering on her (especially because you can only see that portion of it). She is wearing a lot of leather pants lately. I would really have to see her standing up..but sitting down it is a no. The make up is way too heavy. However, this is the most relaxed and healthiest Harry has looked on their recent zooms...

Leather is in right now. Of course everyone is not a fan, but for those who are, like Meghan, I think that she can pull off the leather look. The outfit works for me, I like the colors together. And btw, her makeup looks the same. It doesn't look too heavy to me, the video quality was not that great, but it did not appear that she deviated too far from her usual makeup looks.

When I first saw the clip online I thought it was Kim Kardashian 😬 This look is a miss IMO. So happy to see Guy made an appearance 🐶

Kim Kardashian? Really? Meghan and Kim look nothing alike and it is quite obvious who it is. I think she looks really nice.

I agree, when I saw this on insta I did actually do a double take thinking it was Kim K.

I love the colours of the outfit but the top just doesn’t do it for me. That’s just my opinion though, not saying she doesn’t look nice, I’m just not keen on the look.

I do think the makeup is becoming a lot heavier also, which is a shame as she doesn’t need it, I prefer her natural, lighter, glowing look.

Ever since I saw the still from this video I've thought the whole look reminded me of someone. You are right it is very Kim Kardashian.

This really isnt a great look on her imo.

She looks absolutely gorgeous as always! I'm so glad she wears what she likes on her and not allow the negative comments of others impact her! Women are so awful when we do this to one another with negatives because it is a color or a look that we don't like or that would not be appealing for us personally!!!

I think she looks amazing. I love the look. I hope she continues to wear new designers.

I like this look. I love the asymmetrical top and the leather pants. Both Meghan and Harry look happy in this video. I also commend them both for even talking about racism, which the majority of people refuse to do, which also contributes to upholding racism and keeping down those who are affected by it. I am glad that Meghan and Harry have the guts to continue to speak their minds and to continue to live their lives for themselves and not others.

I have trouble understanding whether this is a fashion blog or a Meghan fan club. Any critical comments about fashion are not posted, but even political comments in her favour are allowed. The rules surrounding comments are incomprehensible.

Hi Louise, I'm sorry you feel that way. I try to maintain a positive environment for my readers. I do allow critical comments on fashion so long as they are not attacks on personal attributes, i.e. body shape, size etc. I'm all for freedom of expression but I know how quickly things can escalate so moderation is required. I have also been criticised for allowing "negative" comments to be posted. Getting the balance right is tricky but I assure you I'm doing my best and I know I can't please everybody but my priority is to create a positive space to discuss fashion x

If you don't allow critiques of fashion and styling on a blog related to fashion and styling, it becomes pretty boring and comes across as a fan page.

I notice that there are very few comments these days.

Louise, again I'm sorry you can't see that I do allow critiques of Meghan's fashion. Simply read the comments for this post. I would say about half don't like the look. I will continue to moderate comments that make negative remarks about physical attributes, or attack the opinions of other readers. Critiques of style is welcome, but my priority will always be to maintain a positive environment for my readers to indulge in frivolous fashion x

I totally agree Louise. I’m don’t care for this look either and I see others accusing subjective comments as being critical of other women. I just don’t like the top.

They are lovely. Love the top

I love this. Really wish we could see this top to toe with some nude heels and gold jewelry in high quality. Meghan is radiant and is comfortable to dress herself in a way that doesn’t suppress her true style. Apart from the button downs we’ve been seeing her in lately, this truly shows that they are free to be who they are. Not just with her style but to stick up for wonderful causes like this without restrictions. I’m happy for them

I also have to mention her attention to detail and the silent message she conveys through what she wears every time. For those who don’t know, this top has been described by the designer as “designed for all people, genders, races, sizes and personalities.” Elizabeth I think you should mention this in the post because it is just beautiful especially with them speaking on racism.

Hi Stef, I added that noteworthy point in the description on the product page x

This top is a no for me. It is an interesting style but I don't think it is flattering on Meghan.

This might not be the most flattering look for her, but so what, she looks gorgeous and I love that she is wearing what she wants! As usual, I found these last few looks very inspiring. Love the blog, Elizabeth!

These might be the pants (vegan leather 🥰) https://www.aritzia.com/en/product/high-tied-pant/79497.html?dwvar_79497_color=18032

I saw Susan from What Meg Wore suggest the Aritzia pants. I think she may be on to something!
