This was day two when they attended a private lunch, and Meghan was seen in this blue dress. Or was it day three? It’s hard to keep track. The dress has a very similar silhouette to the yellow one she wore in Nigeria—a kind of baby-doll style where the fabric drapes down from the top. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of this style, but it seems to work for Meghan. Remember, her shoulders are her broadest point, so something that creates an opposite shape is a bit more flattering for her. This style doesn’t accentuate her imbalance the way something that narrows as it goes down might exaggerate her inverted triangle or V shape.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many good photos from this day, so maybe I’ll do an updated fashion edition as more images become available. For now, we can only discuss the general shape and color. I do like the color—a very beautiful blue. It’s a pity Meghan doesn’t wear bright colors more often. While the silhouette isn’t my favorite, it’s relatively modest. The dress isn’t clingy or figure-hugging, doesn’t have a high slit, and there are no backless cutouts or spaghetti straps. It has a high neckline. Honestly, this shouldn’t even need to be pointed out, but given that she has worn spaghetti straps and strapless dresses in places where they were entirely inappropriate, this was a good choice.
After the lunch, she changed her outfit again for the third time that day to join Harry in meeting Colombia's Invictus team. I think this was one of her better choices during the trip. Still not perfect, but better. Let’s break it down.
First off, the shoes. Bad choice again. Some flats, simple white tennis shoes, or even loafers would have been better than these strappy brown sandals. They just didn’t work. It’s unfortunate because they dragged the whole look down a bit. However, her hair, makeup, and jewelry were all on point. The skirt, though, was the star of this outfit. It was an excellent choice—a wrap style that was flattering and enhanced the flowy fabric, which complemented her frame. The diagonal lines, softer fabrics, and anything with a bit of flow help balance out her boxier, more angular frame. The shirt, while less wrinkly and made of a softer fabric than some she has worn before, didn’t match the off-white of the skirt closely enough. And of course, Meghan added bulk by rolling up the sleeves as usual.
I’m disappointed in the choice of shirt. If she had worn something like a black, elbow-length sleeve top that was simple and clean, it would have added much more balance. A darker color where she’s widest and the lighter color of the skirt would have brought better harmony to her figure. It would have been a much better overall silhouette. But regardless, the skirt here is a perfect example of how curves, softer lines, and fabrics with movement can balance her figure. I believe this skirt might be by a Colombian designer, though I could be mistaken. I think I read that somewhere. So overall, this was one of her better looks from the trip. Not perfect, but an improvement.
Next, let’s talk about the panel conference appearance. This one was a bit of a roller coaster for me. At first, I thought, wow, this is great! The skirt is fun, patterned, and colorful. It draws the eye, which is excellent because Meghan’s widest point is her shoulders. Drawing attention to her legs helps bring balance to her figure. For people with wider hips, drawing the eye to the upper body works similarly. It doesn’t necessarily have to be about volume; it can be about pattern, bright colors, or textures. This outfit was a great example of that.
However, this look could have been even better if her top had been darker—maybe one of the blues from the skirt. That would have been really nice. The white top is okay, but it looks a bit small, and the slim fit helps avoid adding bulk. I also dislike the gratuitous popped collar. It erases her neck and looks a bit silly and old-fashioned, especially with her hair hanging down. It wasn’t a wise choice, shrinking her neck and making it look like it was sitting right on her shoulders.
Then, I noticed she was wearing a dark strapless bra under this top. What the actual heck is going on here? Why would you do that? This solved the mystery of why her chest looked so low in many of the pictures. It’s because she’s wearing a padded strapless bra. Strapless bras tend to slip, and if they’re padded, they slip even more, which drags everything down lower on the torso. Mystery solved, but still, why wear a dark bra under this top? Can she not help herself? This outfit had potential, but she ruined it with that bra. I do like the pink shoes,
