Meghan Markle is boasting about her *beautiful* friendship with Clare Waight Keller, the former head of Givenchy who's now peddling her talents at Uniqlo, going from haute couture to high street. And it seems like there’s a chasm between them as wide as the fashion world itself.
In a recent email to The New York Times, Meghan raved about owning several pieces from Uniqlo—because, you know, when you’re used to dripping in diamonds and designer gowns, what’s more aspirational than a trench coat from a brand that has vending machines at airports? But who are we to question the Duchess’s taste? After all, she describes Clare’s Uniqlo designs as having “movement and modern grace.”
Clare Waight Keller, the woman who catapulted to fame when she designed Meghan’s wedding dress—the gown that was supposed to cement Meghan’s status as a style icon. But now, Clare’s career seems to be in a freefall, trading Givenchy’s runway glamour for Uniqlo’s bargain racks. That’s not just a shift, it’s a tumble off a cliff. One might even say it’s a *Markled* exit from the world of high fashion.
Remember those days when Meghan strutted around with the likes of Queen Elizabeth II, draped in designer labels? The Duchess had a wardrobe that was the envy of many, perfectly curated for royal duties. Now, however, she’s left to fawn over neutral tones and soft fabrics that scream *basic*.
And then there’s the oddity of Meghan constantly feeling the need to advertise her friendships. Seriously, is it a red flag when you have to announce, “Look everyone, I have friends”? Isn’t that something friends just know? But hey, when you’re Meghan Markle, you’ve got to make sure the world knows you’re chummy with a designer, even if that designer is now slumming it in fast fashion.
Can we also take a moment to appreciate how Clare Waight Keller, after being unceremoniously tossed out of Givenchy, suddenly became Meghan’s bestie? Surely, Clare has a career to think about, and one can’t help but wonder how she feels about being associated with the Duchess’s ever-waning relevance. Clare might just be biding her time until she can escape the Markle chaos and reclaim her status—if that’s even possible at this point.
Let’s also address the elephant in the room: Meghan’s fashion sense. There’s a fine line between being trendy and just plain trying too hard. Meghan appears to be skirting that line while clutching her stomach in a pose reminiscent of Demi Moore’s iconic *Vanity Fair* cover.
Meghan’s apparent annoyance with Princess Catherine’s ability to don exquisite historical jewelry is just too much. While Meghan struts about in Uniqlo, Catherine’s busy showcasing breathtaking pieces that actually hold value—unlike Meghan’s several pieces that may very well be nothing more than glorified cotton.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s current fashion escapades and her attempt to turn a former Givenchy designer into her latest friend are as laughable as they are sad. Uniqlo clothes are nice and all, but it’s not the chic, luxurious world where Meghan once reigned. So here’s to hoping Clare knows what she’s getting into—because if history has taught us anything, it’s that once you’ve been *Markled*, there’s no turning back.
