So basically the media: "We didn't cover her events fully because her clothes were so boring!"
Also the media: "We would have covered the causes better if it wasn't for the lawsuit."
I'll agree her clothes were boring this trip, but this also is an example of why it often seems they can't win with a lot of the media.

We've seen Maxima in that outfit before right?
I really liked Meghan's looks at the beginning of the tour but then they kind of fell flat by the end. Some were too casual or the occasion, some were just not great fitting. I do love how she chooses to make a statement with her cloths by wearing ethical, local, sustainable etc.. brands. Her jewellery choices were A+ the whole time

That's why everything is so depressing, and why I just want to look at a pretty dress and some huge jewels.

Also while the fashion was boring during their tour and for the most part we are here for the fashion I have a hard time saying the tour was boring because they were focused on such great great causes and she used ethical designers and I have to give her credit for that. I’m here. Saying the tour was boring didn’t sit right with me. Sure, the clothing was meh, but the tour itself I’m sure had great meaning to them and everyone they visited. You said what I was thinking but couldn’t put into words at the time. ETA: I’m late and see we’ve discussed further. I do think she had reason- just like she didn’t wear her engagement ring, but I know I read at least one person say “this boring tour” and I just felt a way. Sounds like it’s not what you meant, but it was the tone.

OMG. Just no to that Maxima outfit. It's horrible. Maxima can pull off a lot of things, but not this. Wrong

I think Meghan’s “boring” (I didn’t find it such) is 100x better than Kate’s usual work outfit.

Yes I also realize she is Royal and many felt to casual for different events and I can understand that. Casual is the issue for me. These tours are big deals, lots of resources. The people they meet work their schedule around meeting the Sussexes. It just feels odd and not taking into account the importance of these meetings if Meghan is wearing the same stuff I do to work. It does not diminish their many great works, but it sticks out in a bad way. ETA: I'm sure they're also still trying to find their balance. They're wise to think about outward appearances when the "cost" of being a royal is constantly under attack, and of course Meghan is going to get more attacks unfairly lobbied her way. So I can totally see them being like, "Well we might as well go as plain as possible to avoid criticism." I don't even want fancy clothes, just like...throw in more color every now and then! Meghan looks amazing in jewel tones.

SO MANY GOOD ONES!!

The best was the blue/white one where they had Archie and met Tutu. There’s a video of her walking towards the camera and it’s fab.

Their two big tours so far have bhad a lot more engagements than many of royal tours. And I do think the last few days have been underwhelming, but I think by it ending quieter, people are forgetting some of the highlights.

I'm just not a fan of the more casual looks for meeting Nelson Mandela's widow, for instance. Probably the fact that she wore three color-free garments in a row and in such similar style to previous dresses really stuck out.

So I know it’s frowned upon by HIH, but I read DM more than I read here.
They actually gave this tour a TON of press.
I don’t understand why they’d release the lawsuit stuff just days before the tour ended. Wait just a few days and then it doesn’t overshadow the tour. The lawsuit is months in the making, its not going to go stale.

I thought MM's wardrobe was in sync with the tone of the tour. If she had been nipped and tailored at every turn with her little bow backed heels she would have been eaten alive by the press. She looked casual and appropriately post partum traveling with a baby. This is consistently her color palette of choice, so again, being authentic. She was chatting up kids with bare feet FFS, so anything else would have been tacky and quite unrelatable.

Literally no one here has said that, just because I’m not applauding every decision doesn’t mean I’m saying the whole thing was a waste. And I’m not even talking only about Meghan. When Nelson Mandela’s widow is wearing a stunning outfit and Harry can’t even bother to button his shirt all the way

It’s really not that big a deal to disagree about her fashion choices.

I mean, I get there are Meghan fans here but god damn. We talk fashion and I get why she chose what she chose blah blah but it was still boring. Thems the opinions. And if we are all being honest here, Meghan just doesn’t have the best fashion/tailoring sense. You can’t say in the blinds thread we are rainbows and sunshine about Kate and Archie, but not being able to give opinions on Meghan. Some might have liked her choices here, some didn’t.
