I'm not sure if it is sheer or not but to me that outfit is so ugly. I don't understand her wardrobe choices at all.

I like the colors of that outfit very much. However, she desperately needs a real fashion stylist, not some friend. And not someone from Hollywood but someone from the couture world and Vogue, like Diana had. Diana dressed beautifully most of the time. Sure she had a few clunkers in there but that happens. We look and cringe now at the 1980s fashions but at the time she was fairly chic and didn't embarrass herself.

Meghan should know better or at least should hire someone who knows better. You *always* make sure any dress or skirt has lining in it for just this reason, plus lining helps a dress or skirt hang beautifully and float over the body. And her color choices are usually boring (what's with so much white and off-white? And she wears so many dark dresses and a lot of black, which the royals save for funerals). She looks best in jewel tone colors and some autumn colors too.

Not exactly a Royal or Actress but I have for years luv, luv luved Giuliana Rancic's Stylist. Giuliana is always impeccable in style and fit. I have never seen her on camera in an outfit I didn't like.

That was an interesting read. Duplicates of every outfit sounds rather excessive though. I too wonder if they're all true :p

Some nice fashion on Catherine I hadn't seen before (the pink and black dress), or had forgotten about. This lilac color is what I've been envisioning for Meghan:

This to me is what a well tailored bodice should look like. Looks like gorgeous fabric too. For someone that asked earlier, yes a lot of what distinguishes designer clothing is the quality or uniqueness of the fabric and trims, and the construction of the garment.

This is the lighter blush higher up on the apple of the cheeks that looks perfect. Kate has a gorgeous complexion.
And yes, beautiful dress and color.

Meghan could go with an ever so slightly warmer blush with her complexion, but this is how you do it.

Kate's clothes are always impeccably tailored to her body, with gorgeous fabrics, colors to suit her, and usually simple and elegant silhouettes.

Meghan should be visiting some of the same designers as Kate instead of this hodge podge of off the rack and designer. Her wardrobe lacks focus, cohesion, and suitability for her. She needs to ditch the stilettos and use more modest heels so she doesn't look like she's tottering and about to fall over.

I agree Madeleine. But, Kate is British, knows her style, and her body, and I think European countries are really fashionable.

Americans are somewhat fashion pathetic, IMO. I mean you'll find style in NYC, but LA? I know I sound kinda snobby. But really, we are grunge central, here!!!

Kate is tall, too, really naturally athletic, fabulous legs, another advantage.

The stilettos don't do Meghan any favors. She doesn't have the calf definition to pull it off. In her summery blue and white dress, with the slit up the thigh, I thought her legs looked much better, more defined in flats.

I remember Kate wearing maternity jeans. I had a pair and wore them frequently. Mine weren't "skinny" jeans; bell-bottoms were popular in the early '70s.

Kate Middleton Wears Skinny Jeans for Last Work Day Before Maternity Leave
I understand maternity skinny jeans, and they'd be perfectly sensible. It's the abdominal part which needs to expand and give room to the wearer and growing child, not the legs.. :)
Meghan's stylists said the jeans she wore 2 days ago were the SAME pair she wore 2 years ago.. so definitely not maternity jeans but very tiny in the waist and tummy area.

I'm hoping it was either miscommunication or a mistake because I know she was very thin and small during the Canadian Invictus games 2 years ago.

Unreal the price of her wardrobe and most of the outfits looked terrible. To have endless funds must be nice.

I guess this thread stirred my memory. For some reason in the past few days I couldn’t stop thinking of the concert Prince William & Prince Harry threw in Diana’s memory 10 years after her death. I was so impressed then that they wanted to honor their mom in such a way.

I watched the concert non-stop from beginning to end, and the one celebrity appearance that stood out to me above all else was P Diddy’s “I’ll be missing you”. I decided to view it again and it really shook me and took me back - what a terrific performance it was then. I am no P Diddy fan (or whatever name he goes by now) but man, he really rocked Wembley......what a performance and what an entertainer.

Here’s a link to it

Not true. The jeans she wore at Invictus games were faded blue and had rips in them (which frankly surprised me she would wear something so "unroyal-like" since she was mere months away from the engagement).

The jeans she was wearing in NZ were much darker (black jeans I think) and had no rips or tears in them. Jeans can be altered in some clever ways to give more room in the waist before needing to fully transition to maternity jeans. She lost weight before her wedding and she's pretty skinny.

Hi, I'm sorry I'm late replying. I just saw this post. :)
I find it so much more believable that the Daily Mail commentary was wrong about the jeans being one of the pairs she wore at the 2016 Invictus Games. Law, I was really gobsmacked by the thought of her fitting into any jeans she wore at that point in time and now.

I mean, it doesn't even make a bit of sense to any of us, looking at her last photo in the cream clingy dress where she met her friend. Hannah, the Instagram fan.

In that one dress but no others, really, as they aren't as clingy, she looks approx. 5.5 months pregnant, IMO, and the marker is fundal height. All the expansion is in bust and abdomen, so definitely pregnancy changed, not larger hips or anything like that.

I'm not some perv. stalker=ish chick, but we nurses do tend to assess things of this nature on sight. She's fairly easy to guesstimate because she's always been so thin, and because, contrary to what the media has said, she is NOT tall. ( Kate is built to " hide" her expanding figure because she has so much height and body length to go with it, there's space for expansion for quite a while without it being very obvious.)
Meghan is more of an average height, in fact, I'd say 5'4'' without shoes.

I think she will possibly have her labor induced a tiny bit early based on safety factors for her age, and the fact that Harry is a large boned man and she has very delicate features. almost as delicate as a little bird.vNot that the BRF tells us any sorts of things about L and D, or should tell us, protocol being what it is.

I am pretty sure Diana said that she had one or both of the princes induced a bit early because of what we call maternity fatigue. Literally could not be pregnant one more day and still breathe and walk. She did it her way, and chose many modern labor and delivery options which were best for her and her baby boys. Seems like yesterday.. I wish so much she could see her beautiful grandchildren. :)

How about a Baby Sussex birth date poll?

My best guesstimate right now is March 1.
( See post above about not quite going full term, possibly).

I love the haka. But why did they do it in those ridiculous suits and not in their native outfits?

Those are not "ridiculous suits".
That haka was performed by boys from the Hato Pāora college, a Catholic, Māori Boys' Boarding school, and they are wearing their school uniform.

They are ridiculous. The haka is of the Maori culture. The suits are a sign of colonialism. To me, it is horrifying.
