The reason people don't receive MEGain well is because she a a liar, a fake, a hypocrite and she uses dead children, people etc for her own PR selfish reason and she tries to destroy her husband's family and being a tremendous bully. Also she uses people, abuses them and discards them, this is why we don't like her. It has nothing to do with her acting sweet or just inappropriate. She is evil.

[@cameronudall3502]

Wearing the right dress for the occasion is beyond Meghan's understanding considering her wedding dress wasn't even right for her wedding

[@mrsterious5845]

She might dress inappropriately as a way of standing out in the crowd, in the same way the late Queen wore bright colors to stand out But the Queen was the Queen and looked appropriate even in her bright colors. M looks trashy and classless. Not the path to fashion icon.

[@heidifruchtl354]

​@drinkyournailpolish7501 this! On my wedding day, I wore my mom's wedding dress. I lucked out, big time, it fit. Mom had told me years ago, long before either of her daughters got married, that she didn't think my sister could wear her dress. She specifically mentioned my sister's shoulders. She was NOT body shaming. My sister has broader shoulders than I do, my own daughter has broader shoulders than me. I fit into the dress, and the employee at the tailor shop told us that we were so lucky that we didn't have to get the shoulders reworked. Mostly because we would have to replace a lot of the lace on the dress. The dress is from 1970 and completely covered in lace. The train flowed from the shoulders.

She doesn't have a consistent style-her choices are all over the place. She chooses according to cost, higher cost=better, regardless whether it fits or suits her. Catherine is sometimes derided for playing safe, because she sticks to coat dresses or pants suits, but she dresses appropriately and she knows exactly what suits her build and colour. You can't be an icon if you don't have a recognisable style.

[@mrsterious5845]

M is like a teenager who's drawn in by whatever looks good on the hanger or a model and has no sense of what works for her Catherine's approach is that of a grown woman who knows what works for her and goes with that.

[@soniavadnjal7553]

Catherine also dresses according to the occasion, she has a lot of official duties, and she keeps an eye on what is appropriate to her audience. This is why her style is so striking, because it includes the people she visits. It's a kind of "psychological" dressing.

I think her unkempt hair and clothes were a ‘dig*’ at the queen. HM required that anyone representing the monarchy to be immaculately styled& groomed at all times in the public. Megan did this on purpose to prove to the Queen that no one could tell her what to do. This mentality backfired big time and Megan couldn’t find a way to undo the damage she had caused making everyone loathe her. IMO

Like M and probably 99% of the population, I am blessed with a difficult body type. None of what M wears would look good on me so I'd never buy it. I also don't find myself at galas or awards' shows so have no need for ball gowns. She could have been a voice for people (not just women) without a supermodel silhouette by supporting healthy lifestyles (food, exercise, etc) and that all people can find clothes that make them feel confident and beautiful, whatever their shape. She could have teamed with someone like Beebs or designers who make clothes to be worn by people (because M doesn't have the knack to do it on her own). She doesn't concern herself with others so of course it wouldn't happen. Another opportunity squandered.

[@darcyhowe9153]

Absolutely!@@mrsterious5845 You make a great point--Meghan could showcase a healthy lifestyle and have clothes made to fit, and co-ordinate with nutritionists and designers!

I need some standard black long and short sleeve blouses, not shirts for singing in a choir. I've been horrified to find that cheaper retailers sell T shirts l9ng and shirt sleeve with patterns and cutouts, and zero blouses. Moving up the ladder quality improves but still an absence of what I'd call appropriate business wear. Black dress pants, black blouse, black jacket that you can dress up with separates in color. Everything is stretchy, and no reasonable navy blue business dresses says frills and patterns that one can wear to funerals. So fast fashion isn't appropriate for all occasions, and appropriate is expensive and not easily available, especially on short notice!

If this is the case, it would explain why so many of the outfits she wears fit her so poorly: The source of the outfit (designer or whoever), in anticipation of actually selling the outfit to someone when it's returned, therefore would not like the clothes to be altered/tailored for MM. If MM were a rational person (which she's not), she'd actually BUY her own clothing and pay to have the items tailored to fit her figure. It wouldn't kill her to be seen re-wearing the same outfit on different occasions. ❤ your insights and critiques, Beebs!

[@StretchLikeACat]

Beebs, I absolutely loved your insights into how the acting industry and online clicks work. I also always thought Meghan approached her Royal role as if she was still a struggling ensemble actor using popularity stakes and social media to compete for the lead role - Queen. Frankly, I think the Royal family, monarchy and the Commonwealth are well rid of Harry and his wife. They’re blatantly ill-suited for the role of diplomat, visionary, leader in service on a global stage. They would never have been hired if they had had to apply for the job.

[@ultimately-sabrina]

What in the white SquarePants sweet hell did my eyes just see with that long sleeved mini box dress?!?! Beebs!! We need to talk about this one!!!

[@BeebsKelley]

🤣

[@tonistark4169]

OMG! Say it ain’t so! She’s no fashion icon unless it’s the “trash bag” look or edition. I get your point but why would magazines think she’s a fashion icon?? Maybe the BEST thing for magazines is to just NOT include her in any topic of fashion. If they can’t say anything nice about her clothing choices, just don’t say anything at all concerning MM especially in a magazine.

[@cindyknudson2715]

They are being paid to. Or receiving a favor for doing so.

[@ladymissp1880]

Follow the dollar! Backed to the hilt by those keen to destabilise the monarchy!

[@ground_news]

Thank you Beebs! We're happy to be supporting your work. For those interested in staying informed, check out the link above.

[@JulieAnne17-dn]

Yep. I thought the very same thing. You see all the smoozing and love when actors are being interviewed and another actor’s name is mentioned. It’s all, “Oh I LOVE (fill in the blank’s name). So phoney. So obvious.

[@spotononspot4187]

Joke of the year! Mexit is NOT a fashion icon! 😂😂 obviously paid someone to write this!

[@gremlin5622]

For a laugh - remember the much too big blue and white summer dress MM wore to a friend of H's wedding? A badly fit fascinator stuck onto scraggly hair? A fashion mag raved about how wonderful she looked. In fact she looked like "something the cat dragged in" as me granny used to say. 🥰

[@janicewilliams2076]

Oh I miss Joan Rivers so much. Her honesty and humour always put everything into perspective. I would have love to hear her comments on this one's wifes outfits.

[@targaryengiraffe9320]

Vapid praise - best description I’ve heard of the current landscape.

[@sahdogwrangler5594]

Beebs I'm so glad you addressed this. Every time I see the gushing reviews of MM's ill fitting outfits for the wrong event or season, I had mixed feelings of nausea & fury. Going forward, I'll remind myself that it's all about the money & the image/reputation. Someone who wears ripped jeans & a t-shirt to host their in-laws & future king & queen then wears thousands of dollars in designer clothes & jewelry to read to children in Harlem, is just off. Just because people aren't huggy doesn't mean their cold & if you have that attitude, it's not going to help you anywhere in life. Do you remember that show, What Not to Wear? I think Stacy & Clinton need to get together with MM for a special episode of the old show. Except MM isnt going to win a $5,000 credit card because that could barely dress her for 1 day. Haha

[@karen-OCH]

I read that she is the most googled Fashion Icon but , I feel she’s googled most because people want to see her make an outfit look like 💩 not because she makes them look like they fit her correctly 😂

[@juannell4124]

Simply clothes always look better on a model frame than on a stump 🤷

[@lauracarlson1940]

What in the hell is up with that stride? Constantly!! 😮😮😅😅

[@rt66vintage16]

I thought of her giant strides today walking into the grocery store. I couldn't do it without pain in the groin area. Bookworm calls it a "greedy" walk.

[@lauracarlson1940]

@rtvintage16 Lecherous walk more like 👍

[@sahdogwrangler5594]

She couldn't do that in the snake dress haha

[@lynwratten9857]

All of us make the odd mistake in choice of clothing but when we see someone who consistently wears ill fitting, inappropriate or downright awful clothing on a regular basis it shows that money doesn't make the Lady as my mother used to say, Meg Markle is a case in point. What does she see when she looks in the mirror.

[@dot8788]

Thank you so much for addressing this. I totally agree. In my twenties, I loved fashion magazines because I was trying to figure it all out. But I came to the conclusion that I just don’t get it. When they say something looks ‘fantastic’ and it looks like crap, I wonder ‘Am I crazy or are they?’ Now that I’m in my thirties, I just want to be comfortable and confident. Also, yes, it is very frustrating to see rich people dress like homeless people. If they don’t want to dress well, then give me the money and I’ll do it😜

[@luminyam6145]

That's why we appreciate you Beebs, you say exactly what is wrong and what can be done to fix a fashion faux pas.

[@AdrianaLaCerva126]

Gosh, you blow her away Beebs.

[@kathleenwisialowski4558]

I personally could not function in that manner. I need reality and truthfulness in my life. My Ego is intact. I dont need or want constant stroking or praise.

[@martina21953]

I miss Joan Rivers and "Fashion Police". RIP Ms. Rivers.

[@kathyo5971]

I loved Fashion Police, even after Joan passed away. They kept it going for a bit. I wish it would have never ended.

[@monacoofthebluepacific2571]

Yes very sad when it ended. Without Joan they just weren't getting along anymore 😔

[@kathrynabbott5032]

I loved Fashion Police too

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

With all the advice she would have been given on what to wear and how to wear it on Suits (where they dressed her and she actually looked good) I can't understand why MM failed to learn a damn thing about how to dress, and what was appropriate for what venue (like what was appropriate for what scene she was filming....if she was in office, smart business, if dinner out, more sexy or showy outfit.. how could none of it sink in!!???) I think it's why she's failed at every job she's had so far, acting, the job her uncle got her, the job Harry got her...she just thinks she knows it all and does it her way, but its just wrong!!

[@rt66vintage16]

The picture at 3:15 in MM's big red disaster is secondhand embarrassment for the world. She looks like she weighs 300 pounds.

[@angelajeffcott9715]

Totally agree! I'm tired of the attitude of non criticism, everyone's a winner... You aren't disliking the person, you are trying to help them be better by pointing out what doesn't work.

[@MirandaSinistra]

I think the big problem here is that a lot of people equate criticism with bullying. To be fair, there is a fine line between the two. However, I would say the big difference is that criticism comes from a place of wanting the subject to be better. It's also more tactful. Bullying is simply to hurt the subject and leaves no room for improvement.

[@mrsterious5845]

I've read and heard replies to an innocuous statement such as "I don't like it, it's not to my taste" that end up accusing the person of being racist or sexist or akin to Hitler.

[@JoMad53]

Thank you for explaining why we shouldn’t trust fashion press coverage. Social media is not much better as people are afraid of speaking their mind and being “cancelled” as sexist, racist or body shamers. You are honest and back up your opinions by detailing why a fashion choice works or doesn’t. Respect.

[@anavasconcelos9168]

I don't think I've ever seen Megan in a really pretty outfit! Not even her wedding dress

[@pam8056]

The article where they said she was proud of being her own stylist explained a lot, and was hilarious

[@pinningformichigan8120]

The black and white number looks just right for a prison break.

[@laurabailey1054]

How can someone who wears ill fitting inappropriate clothing be a style icon? Except one who belongs on What Not to Wear. Mr Blackwell would have a field day with MM and so would Joan Rivers

[@kate1812]

As a Katherine I love the princess of Wales clothes so stylish. Meghan steals her fashion taste from her mother in law and her amazing sister in law

[@cheriem432]

. . . but after TOW gets home, she misplaces it, then tries to do it on her own.

[@kate1812]

@cheriem432 you mean butcher it expensive clothes don't suit Megsy

[@warwickshirewolfpack]

Catherine (and Diana) has the tall fantastic figure to wear them, IMO Megain thinks that she has the same body when she doesn't

[@diannes3804]

You’re probably too young to remember Mr. Blackwell’s worst dressed list. At the end of every year both celebrities and fans couldn’t wait to see who made the list. He was fearless and unapologetic as he eviscerated some of the biggest stars of the time - Madonna, Barbra Streisand, no one was immune!

[@sabsmcdabs7139]

Excellent overview beebs. This is why we're following independent creators who don't have to pander, have an opinion and aren't gaslighting us. Bravo!

[@micheleparker3780]

Now THIS is why I subscribe to Beebs Kelly!!! Truth in action, explained in a way that 10 year olds can understand it. I am also going to subscribe to Ground News. Believe me, NOTHING you said in this video was offensive, intimidating, mocking, or wrong. Stay just the way you are, Beebs. You are a treasure!❤

[@BeebsKelley]

Thank you 💛

[@CMYT2023]

I think you made very good points - with political correctness & now wokism, any & every perceived negative thing said or printed triggers someone somewhere & they need therapy because of the cruelty/offensive/insulting thing done to them. M had always an eye for brand name things even when she was a struggling actress so having an unlimited budget (till Charles balked), she just went crazy - the more expensive the better regardless of whether it was suitable for her or the occasion. Also so that she cock a snoot by dressing differently even though everyone was supposed to follow a certain color/theme.

[@kareno7792]

Thanks for your insight, Beebs. I enjoyed this. How I wish Joan Rivers was here to rake Megs across the coals. She'd have a field day! Hell, she'd have episodes devoted to nothing but Megs fashion failures.

[@sylvia7867]

She takes pride in not using a stylist - it shows 😂🤣😅

[@geefull]

Thanks Beebs, many of MM's fashion choices shout that the only person who matters is MM herself and that's fine, just own it! but, it's obvious from her antics she really really dislikes any criticism at all, if she chooses to dress sloppily in ridiculously expensive stuff unsuitable to the occassion it's fine but don't then tell us we have to fawn over your choices. MM has a right to dress as she pleases, we have a right to our own opinion of what suits ( or not), is inappropriate or sometimes downright insulting ( such as the tiny shorts and sandals marching in front of the veterans at Invictus, the deliberate 'wrong' colour of 'that red dress' or a hugely expensive turn out for a battered women's shelter/ inner city school).

[@summechumme]

The meg is a fashion DON'T!

[@JJWoosh2]

Beebs looking beautiful again today. Got that Adele look going on ❤️

[@tess4-2]

Great talk on the fashion world - how it works, and how someone who has little to offer gets around it. More of these please, and more of why a magazine like Vogue would choose such bad style icon.

[@LynneHill-zn1tw]

It is a shame that the truth is frowned upon nowadays .Offensive language is not needed ,to say that an item of clothing does not suit someone ,just tell the truth .I,don't know why people are so delicate ,all the time .

[@nightmareoracle]

Lmao Megain a fashion icon🤣🤣 I can't stop laughing 😭😭

[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

Let's compare Megan with someone with a wild fashion sense and a true fashion icon: Lady Gaga. Gaga might show up dressed as an ice cream cone, but her outfit will never be ill-fitting and eventhough she looks like 31 fllavors she'll pick a venu where it's appropriate like the opening of a friend's gourmet restaurant. Megan will wear what looks like over-priced pajamas to a women's shelter with her bra hanging out. Or lets pick the same venu: a charity ball for rhe men and women of rhe US space force: Gaga might wear a ball gown that looks like it was inspired by an astronaut suit and have crystal stars in her hair and galaxy print eye makeup Megan will wear what looks like a pantsuit with bellbottom pants like they wear in the US Navy with shoes that are too big, and the blazer will have the canadian airforce insignia on it.

[@mrsterious5845]

With Lady Gaga over the top is expected. She's a performer, and has credited a life long interest in fashion as helping her develop her style/persona. The meat dress, for example, was absurd, but it's Lady Gaga. No one else could have pulled that off. She also doesn't seem to take herself too seriously. Contrast to M who is desperate to be taken seriously and it shows.

[@jennifersandahl4603]

Wow Beebs-this is the best synopsis of her behavior and the general media adulation of her fashion choices. Well done!

[@himurahaibara1459]

I agree with you about the 'they should wear whatever they want' arguement. To me it's lazy and sounds a bit like a toddler tantrum. Yes you can wear what you want WITH the consideration of TIME and PLACE. You don't wear a bralette to a dinner at your grandparent's with uncles and aunts. You don't wear skimpy outfit meeting your in-laws for the first time. You don't wear a prom dress to a sombre event. You don't wear a beachwear to award show. I have a short torso with lack of defined waist and i learn so much from you, thanks.

[@rebeccanisley8709]

Thanks Beebs, this certainly increased my understanding of the scene!

[@sweepease1290]

The Megz is a narcissist extraordinaire so it's not surprising she decided to ignore reality and go with what she knew was best (for her and the RF). Apparently even the Hollywood phonies find her too hard to take. You make excellent observations regarding the world Megz orbited and why she was so out of place in the RF. Of course that could have been avoided had she LISTENED to advice but hey, who are we kidding😅 Also, remember "What Not to Wear" UK and US versions and "How to Look Good Naked"? Once upon a time you could have shows like that....
