Well, that’s it for their engagements, so let’s break down what we’ve got from Meghan so far. I’m going to get the shortest section of this post out of the way first, so the best looks go first and the total fug goes last.
THE GOOD
Engagement photocall. I know I laughed at the bathrobe pics, but now I think this is possible her BEST looks of all. Yes, the shoes were dirty, the hair and make-up was meh, and the Deal or No Deal pose was unintentionally hilarious, but it’s the only one of her pics that is still in heavy rotation, and, in retrospect, it was probably the best one of all. This was her “I’m trying to be a royal, y’all” look and it wasn’t a total failure.
It was also the one pic that her press unabashedly liked. After this came out, they started calling her “style icon in waiting.” LOLOLOL, little did they know what was coming up.
It didn’t fit and she failed the dress code and the hat looked like a pimple on her head, but she did manage to look like she at least tried to look like a royal. This was a 100% repliKate fail, but, at least she tried.
Dumpy, frumpy and it made her look like she was a thousand years old, but this Sophie cosplay was appropriate.
The shoes didn’t match and wtf with the juvenile astrology purse, but the hair was relatively neat and she looked appropriate, which is no surprise since she was channeling Letizia.
I think that’s it for the Good. These were her most successful looks. They were appropriate and her hair was relatively well styled. They were all uninspired and based on well-established royal looks, but there’s nothing wrong with that. If Meghan just downloaded Letizia’s wardrobe and faithfully copied from here on, she’d do fine.
Unfortunately, she isn’t doing that, which means she’s still susceptible to mess ups like this one.
This was fine and it kind of looked like a Kate dress. Even with the slut strands and Deal or No Deal pose (what is it with that show, it’s like she can’t shake off the training of something) this should have been an okay look for her.
I think the Halo dress perfectly summed up Meghan ‘s efforts to develop her royal “brand.” It’s amazing how well she fits into People’s red carpet celeb slideshow. You can hardly tell that she was attending a diplomatic receptions and not the opening of a box office bomb.
She tried to go for a repliKate, and ended wearing Kim Kardashian’s 2007 dress. No matter how hard she tried, somehow she always managed to slide back into generic celebrity style.
Okay, that’s it for this post. I’m afraid Tumblr is going to eat the posts up so I’ll to the Bad and the Ugly in other posts.
