Meghan Markle’s Skims Dream Crushed as Kim Kardashian Chooses the Hudson Family Instead
It seems Meghan Markle’s hopes of becoming the next face of Skims have been dashed once again. Despite her apparent efforts, it looks like Meghan’s skills in manifesting opportunities might be better suited to creating fantasies than securing actual deals.
In a move that has the gossip mill spinning, reports claim that Kim Kardashian has turned down Meghan's not-so-subtle request for a collaboration, opting instead for a much more wholesome Hollywood family. This year, the Kardashian Empire has teamed up with the legendary Goldie Hawn and her talented children, Kate and Oliver Hudson, for a heartwarming holiday campaign. Meanwhile, Meghan’s dreams of working with the popular shapewear brand have been left in the cold.
Skims, Kim Kardashian’s widely successful longwear brand, has a tradition of featuring famous families for its holiday campaigns. This year, Kim chose the Hudson family to front the festive ads, showcasing Goldie, Kate, Oliver, their spouses, and children all dressed in cozy, matching sets for a fun-filled Christmas shoot. Directed by Harmony Korine, the campaign captures the Hudsons in a playful "curated food fight" that exudes warmth, joy, and family togetherness — a stark contrast to what Meghan might have brought to the table.
Meghan, who’s reportedly had her eye on a collaboration with Skims for some time, found herself sidelined this holiday season. According to industry insiders (and possibly Meghan’s own PR team), she may have been hoping that her “Princess Diana 2.0” aura would be enough to secure the deal. But it seems the Kardashians weren’t keen on adding Meghan’s waning public appeal to their roster.
When even Kim Kardashian thinks your star power isn't up to par, it’s probably time to rethink your strategy. Did anyone really expect Meghan and Harry to be featured in a campaign celebrating family and holiday cheer? The Hudsons’ Skims shoot was all about togetherness, warmth, and authentic connections — things Meghan isn’t exactly known for. After all, she’s made headlines more for distancing herself from her own family than for embracing them.
One can only imagine the awkwardness of Meghan posing in cozy pajamas with Harry and their children, who they rarely share with the public. Then there’s Meghan’s infamous reputation for leaking stories to the press — something Kim probably didn’t want to risk in a campaign that would surely attract endless tabloid attention. The Kardashian brand thrives on controlled chaos, not the messy, unpredictable drama that Meghan seems to attract.
While Meghan’s Skims dream may not have worked out this time, there’s always next year, right? Perhaps she can manifest another brand deal, but for now, the Skims holiday collection will be free from royal drama, focusing instead on genuine family vibes.
Social media users couldn’t resist poking fun at Meghan’s rumored desperation, with many pointing out that the Kardashian brand would never risk its own empire by collaborating with someone whose popularity seems to be on a constant decline. Kim may embrace a bit of scandal, but even she knows better than to mix royal drama with reality TV chaos.
The Kardashians have perfected the art of the hustle — so why would they want to share that with someone trying to break into their world? Meghan’s manifesting skills didn’t quite work out this time, but hey, there’s always Rob Kardashian. Rumor has it he might still be available for a collaboration.
