MEGHAN MARKLE'S SUITS WARDROBE...WAS IT BETTER??

Why did Meghan Markle look so much better on the TV show Suits than she did during Royal Appearances? Did she even look any better on Suits?
Did Rachel Zane have better hair than Meghan Markle IRL?
What are the differences between Meghan's appearance on the show Suits vs HRH Meg phase vs PC Meg (private citizen meg)?
Which style suited Meghan Markle the best:
Is it her current, post-royal look aka PC Meg defined by fake-a-car-chase Gold Dress, that horribly unflattering red monstrosity & Giant Pants?
Or perhaps her brief time with the Royal Family where she foolishly rebelled against color scheme requests, ill-fitting bras and was notoriously unprofessional even in dress?
Did her days as an actor on Suits, at the mercy of wardrobe stylists & directors, provide some good fashion moments?
Today's Friday Fashion Edition is a highly requested one, and spoiler alert, I never have watched the show Suits. So this was my first time looking at the sets, costumes and the character played by Meghan, Rachel Zane, in any great detail and it was quite fun to examine what the costume department put together for her wardrobe. We're covering what styling and costume tricks they likely utilized to create the looks we see in this show, plus the TV Hair difference.
Including the most-seen outfit formula on the show, the best dress I've seen Meghan Markle wear- ever -at the end of the video, and even the wedding dress! Was the dress Meghan wore as Rachel Zane better than the dress Meghan wore to marry Prince Harry?
At the end of today's video we discuss the frequent accusations of narcissism aimed at Meghan Markle & debunk one misconception seen plaguing the comments section!

How on earth did she go through however many years of Suits, being dressed by stylists in a way that flattered her (surely it’s impossible for her stylist to not give her tips and tricks during that time), and yet turn around and pick clothing that made her look wider, shorter, frumpier?

Which is so ridiculous, she could have had an excellent wardrobe assistant as part of her royal team. Catherine has had the same wardrobe consultant / manager since she got married, and it shows: all her items are specially tailored to suit her figure. Meghan just decided she knew better than everyone else, and that the best way to dress herself was to spend as much money as possible on luxury brands (tailored? In sizes to suit her measurements? Ha! That's not how the rich dress, decided Meghan.)

"It's impossible to be dressed by designers without learning something about style". Well, dear Meghan found it impossible! I watched Suits, loved the clothes. I'm so glad you analyzed this, Beebs!

Her hair was styled better on the show, too. It was softer and very natural looking. And I'm gonna show my age here-- but the side part is more flattering on most faces versus the center part.

[@charlottepembroke5446]

I notice that the wardrobe department dress the three women on the show differently. Gina Torres' character (the boss) is in suits, Sarah Rafferty's (legal secretary) is in dresses, and Rachel Zane is usually in a top and pencil skirt. It seems to be a tactic to differentiate the characters.

Bang lady, you got that straight on!!! I often asked myself asking why she chose a skirt and shirt a lot! Of course, this was before I knew anything about the styling of the acting world... I fell in love with Gina's and Sarah's clothes the most... I say this looking back to 2016 when I watched suits!!!

[@christinechandler5690]

Some of the boundaries the Queen put on the wardrobe of the ladies was to help with being photographed all the time. Down to crossing your legs so you are not flashing, low cut dresses and wearing hose to give legs a finished look and it helps clothes move over the torso. There is usually a reason for protocols. Great analysis today. Cannot wait for comments on the humbug dress. 😅

[@Mercuryrising56627]

Part of her attraction in suits comes also in my view from a sort of "inner tension" due to discipline. Her expression is "I need to succeed, I need to overcome obstacles, I want to apply my moral ideas to society". There was a drive. As soon as she harpooned her prince, it was all about: look you all, I made it, look you all I have him round my little finger, look you all what (strange) outfit I wear today....look you all, what I dare.... So honestly, discipline was gone and the show she put on was a S***show!!!👠👒👑🔍

I agree generally but noted in one of the Suits pics (think she's wearing a white top) her right breast is far over towards her underarm, quite a bit lower than the other, and her nipple is prominent. I wasn't analyzing the pics this deeply overall but it stood out to me!

She definitely had better looking clothes on Suits than in real life. They were much more professional looking. That being said, her wardrobe on suits was pretty boring compared to what the actresses who played Donna and Jessica wore. Those two ladies wore some beautiful clothes.

[@andrearoyd2942]

I trained and worked as a psychiatric nurse, I never did forensics ... dabbled in a few psychology courses as part of training & ongoing updates egistration. I almost consider her personality and many of the traits she exhibits to be almost those of a psychopath she has no empathy or conscience whatsoever, never learns from her mistakes. I think she is becoming a very dangerous person. I do not undervalue her intelligence, bigger the fool that does!! I would put her IQ \ quite high, another trait of the con artist. Although there is a lot of internet gossip and a few books written about her - NO ONE GOES REALLY IN TO THE HISTORY and family dynamics \ particularly Doria. What is under seal? What is a family confidence that binds the Markle family but also keeps them apart. Meghan's history is almost on a need to know. She was reborn on 19th May 2018, and gone by November 2019 from the Royal family & UK. Something just doesn't hang right. Those that have encountered her don't seem to feel free to talk.

It was unnecessary and unrealistic. Long, long work days in skin-tight clothes and sky-high spiky heels. 🙄 I'd guess MM thought she looked a m a z i n g ! ! ! in them but they weren't expensive enough to her liking. Once she got the prince and the unlimited clothing allowance she wore the most expensive outfits whether they were suited to the occasion or not. She often looked like a kid who wanted to wear their favourite party frock or Hallowe'en outfit to school.

I totally agree. She looked much better on suits and those styles certainly suited her - and the clothes were neat and ironed, which definitely helped. Overall though I found the womens’ outfits as a whole quite ridiculous - the stuff of fantasy, really, and for anyone who’s worked long hours on an office, a seriously uncomfortable fantasy at that.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I agree, these looks are unrealistically sexy and tight, we women professionals don’t dress like that in the real world! This look is all about catching men’s eyes, but real working women have to be professional, not sex objects.🙂

[@caseyhill636]

Clothes for TV (especially an office law procedural) are fit to an actor within centimeters and aren’t designed to be able to move around and be comfortable. Any wrinkle, bump, seam, if not absolutely perfect and fit closely will glare on camera and look messy. It’s not real life but we could learn a lot from the theory.

[@afquan9211]

Not just high heels, but stillettos. A shorter block heel would been a tad more comfy, and a less tight skirt would've been kinder, in real life.

[@DamePerdita]

Another element of how her Suits wardrobe flattered her, compared to her own choices: they primarily put her in very soft colours. She has a very soft skin tone despite the high contrast between her hair and skin, so many of the ultra bright colours she chooses (whether pure white or emerald green) look harsh on her. Whereas the soft whites, taupes, grey blues etc in Suits were really flattering.

I like how you explained the many reasons that she looked better on Suits. That the fact she didn't look as polished in the Royal Family was not entirely under her control. She did have the ability to have to hire a stylist. When posing for staged Royal shots, she could try to remember the techniques that Suits used to get the best shots of her. I liked her wedding dress for her character a lot better than her Royal wedding dress. I was very disappointed in her wedding dress because she had a very large budget and again the ability to take advice from a stylist to select a better dress for her entrance on the World Stage. I also appreciate how you explained that you knew you weren't and can't diagnose Meghan with npd.

Don't you know who I am?!", then between the 2 American 'ladies' labelled the official tour "Tour Cr*p"].

We cannot diagnose NPD. But we can say that acting with some common narcissism is being unable to reference outside of ourselves.

[@wintersojourn9356]

I read a quote from her about her Suits wedding dress, but I don’t recall her words exactly. I believe it was something like she thought it was beautiful but her own choice of wedding gown would be very different if she were to marry again. I think she said her character on the show (Rachel) was a perfectionist or highly driven & she herself is more California laid back & then mentioned loving Caroline Bessette Kennedy’s wedding dress. She didn’t use word minimalist I don’t think,….I do believe her that she envisions “effortless elegance”, her 1st wedding dress was also fairly minimalistic, (& imo did not do tons for her either, it was better than the royal dress but not great). The Suits gown is the best wedding look to me, too, like many say here. I do truly find her to be a very beautiful woman, esp when younger, but her first wedding dress didn’t accentuate her beauty either imo. Thought it was better than the Givenchy though! My opinion with no basis but my feelings, is that her Royal wedding dress style was also partly in reaction to Catherine, POW. I have a feeling she wanted everything to be opposite of C, like no eyeliner, minimal makeup, hair up but also disheveled, no lace, no form fitting, blindingly white white… I’ve read a lot & noted some say she kept changing her mind & that obviously limited the designer. But I do believe she chose & wanted that neckline & the overall bare/stark look with the special silk/s. She was maybe thinking Audrey Hepburn, but… it ain’t effortless unless our Good Lord created you similarly built. With fashion, you gotta play the hand your dealt. It is too bad she cannot consistently release this inner vision she has of herself. She is so beautiful & was dealt a great hand by Heaven. Sometimes she got it right when royal, like to me that green flower print dress, with jacket I think it was Self Portrait maybe? Or vampires wife? I don’t know these brands but I read a lot & have always loved fashion. That look was so cute on her or the light blue dress she’s wearing in a photo that HMTQ (may she RIP) had displayed at one time in her office. But, to me again just my suspicion, she wanted to not be pretty in that feminine way she associated with Catherine POW’s look.

Great video. The part about body skimming vs tight was interesting. Someone used to tell me that my clothes were too loose, even though many of my dresses were seen using the pattern size that I measured for by an experienced seamstress. I think the other person was in the “tight” school of thought. You have to be able to move in your clothes. In sewing, that room to breathe is called “ease.” It jumped out at me that on Suits, MM’s facial expression looked normal or at ease. In the royal pictures and any other ones to this day, her expression has this odd vibe of “I’m begging you for your approval, ok?” I am not a fan of hers by any means, but it is kind of sad.

[@justineheinrichs2798]

You know I’ve wondered about that. If someone has spent a fair amount of time in a setting where experts are helping you find the look best for you, how then can you ignore all of that and wear clothes that just don’t help you achieve your best look. I have a narcissist in the family and you learn to recognize it in others. Not a happy world to live in, not for anyone. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ♥️🇨🇦

WHY did she not take to the "Rachel Zane" look...because overall it was so much more successful than the Markle SHOCK AND SCHLOCK. Beebs, you are so gracious...but I am so NOT. Dressing MM must be a nightmare...and heartbreaking for a Stylist stuck trying to make a silk purse out of that Sow...'s ear.

[@cheffincat]

I'm looking forward to your take on the black and white striped number she wore for her birthday pap shots.

[@RLW369]

Thank you for pointing out the details in WHY we all perceive that she looked more polished and put together in photos from her days on Suits. It’s still surprising or confusing that she didn’t retain the tips and tricks - or just chose to disregard them - when she was dressing for arguably a higher caliber of appearance. Even if she had shown up for occasions wearing slim skirts and blouses, she would have looked better than the belted dresses and balloon pants. And in the Suits pics we never saw her undergarments. That alone would have been some good knowledge to carry forward. Oh well - thanks to you, those of US with a boxy shape will never get caught looking stumpy and frumpy.

[@MK-cc5ve]

More please, that was fascinating. Never knew angles were so important. Seeing Meghan wear what she’s told to wear was interesting. The Suits wardrobe did correct her flaws, which I suspect she can’t see. Great work Beebs

[@allyfrasier6306]

Great video. I really enjoyed this one. Yes, as someone who was in a long term relationship with a clinically diagnosed socio narcissist, by a qualified Psychiatrist with extensive experience, I totally agree with your comments about her personality. And I completely agree, the most challenging part of the narcissistic personality is the very fact that their behaviour to them, is just FINE, they see YOU and everyone else as the problem. Why would they need help or to see a Dr about their behaviour when clearly, it's everyone else who has the issue? So they go undiagnosed with those around them suffering. That was exactly my experience, and the actual diagnosis in my situation came because the person went to a Psychiatrist after an appointment was scheduled to discuss somebody else's issues. They only went to the specialist to prove how correct they were. It seems to me that many narcissists are diagnosed by accident. They're going to the Psych because they perceive that they're correct and right about something, and they're accidentally opening themselves up for clinical assessment! Rather than being proven correct as they believe themselves to be, they exposed themselves, the mask slipped, and they were diagnosed with NPD. It's a beautiful but rare thing😂🎉

[@gaiamorgosi7181]

Honestly even without angles and lighting, the costumes WERE good on their own, adapting the tips on how to walk with a style that fits her body would have been a win for her.

She had advice about what to wear when in the royal family but she didn’t listen to them and thought she knew better and I really think she deliberately wore the opposite of what she was supposed to as she didn’t like being told what to do

[@madeyed2702]

I really love listening your delivery. You are honest with your assessment, but without being mean or condescending. Agree that M looked much better in Suit. Sadly, I think with her new status ....she feels the need to reflect that through expensive outfits without having an understanding what look best for her - and she definitely won't listen to any advise. Well, I am happy to learn and get expert advice on to make myself look good 😀

[@afquan9211]

I appreciate that about Ms. Kelley, very much. Her honesty and her diplomacy. The consideration. She's commenting about clothing's effect on the 3-D geometry of a woman's figure. She's commenting on everything as a learnable moment. I think Ms. Kelley is brilliant.

As a physician, I can tell you that anybody who can follow a recipe can diagnose a personality disorder. The DSM5 has a ist of traits and symptoms that are required for the diagnosis. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist.

[@spiritmatter1553]

Yes, but her disclaimer may have been necessary for legal reasons.

[@kkdoc7864]

@@spiritmatter1553 I get that officially, one has to defer to so-called specialists to diagnose. But what do you think “professionals” use to make a diagnosis? That’s why I don’t have a great deal of respect for that specialty. Another reason I’m not wowed by psych people is because you can ask 10 of them to give you a diagnosis, and you’ll get at least 3 or 4 different conclusions. Because the diagnoses are so subjective, you can’t rely on any accuracy. That’s why the public can do just as dood a job.

[@GetYourCrayCray-On]

So true! The Dsm5 basically spells it out! It lists clinical symptoms and if x are present and symptoms are on list, who is to say person reading it is wrong? They can always say this is how the pros diagnose,it's really that easy least! After I became a nurse and saw how the go to manuals are used to diagnose and treat were made for anyone of almost any age,I was so mad I didn't get my psych degree as planned! Booo me!!!😅😅 How Ling would ot take a imposter to get caught on YT playing as a psychology grad? Took the one well known guy quite a while! Kinda scary w hwn you think about it in that sense yet on 2nd thought not so much! That's prob the norm in any psych professionals world!! Lmao!

[@BellaRainDrops]

Looks whoever was dressing her really knew what they were doing, she should have made them an offer they couldn't refuse and taken them with her when she married Harry. megans problem is in all areas of her and Harrys life is she thinks she knows better than anyone else and won't listen to advice. She does herself no favours at all. The amount of good will and support her ego has trashed is astounding.

[@hl6876]

On Suits she was told what to wear and now she bosses stylists and designers

[@michanone]

Huh, I have to admit I only saw one episode of Suits via a reaction video. I couldn't watch more. 😐 From the pictures I've seen I'd say she *hated* having people tell her what to wear. But I admit it was better than her as a Royal. Not really good, but okay. If she had continued with looks like that I think people wouldn't have been so harsh on her. She has a completely different body type in her mind when she dresses herself.

[@vialogan]

To me, Suits was like General Hospital meets soft porn lol I watched two episodes and stopped. Pretty vapid.

[@spiritmatter1553]

The irony is that if she dressed for the body she actually has, she’d look like she has the body she wants.

[@summechumme]

I believe it’s her narcissism that made people hate her. The way she dresses is only secondary. And if only she wasn’t a liar and a whiner among other things, I don’t think people would be as harsh on her.

[@stacey5925]

As you said, one and done on the suits wardrobe. Those outfits all looked the same to me.

[@Es24688]

Both Harry and Meghan suffer from severely underestimating how much work behind-the-scenes people did for them. They seem to think that it was them all by themselves making them who they were; this goes to show that it’s all the people working for them that make the magic happen. Once they came out from under that protective shield, it became obvious how oblivious they are.

[@DeborahWohlfeld]

Do you think she went with the outfits she did, once she was with H, because she now had the control & went with things she wasn't 'forced' to wear like on the show? The show had a costume dept, writers, etc that had a vision & they controlled the clothing choices.

[@vialogan]

She often tried to copy the looks of Princess Catherine, Zara Tindall, several Kardashians, even Bella Hadid. A vast range of body types for one person with one body type! I think Beebs has discussed this although I can't point to a specific video.

[@nan7503]

She's basically a messy person. You can see it in how she just prides herself in the hair being messy, the shoes not fitting the dresses too big, too small, too much belting and her makeup is usually orange! Sheesh! She loves it!

[@spiritmatter1553]

The TV show also had a budget! 🤣💸🚫

[@DeborahWohlfeld]

@@spiritmatter1553 so true so true!! I still think it's a control issue & she knows best

[@qhluvr77]

Agreed! Once she got access to (then) Prince Charles wardrobe funding she just went nuts. ( In 2019 MM spent £975,000 on her wardrobe, Catherine spent £103,000, which was up from her previous year of £88,000) And MM has never learned that how expensive an outfit is doesn’t matter a jot if it doesn’t fit or suit you!! The outfit I have that garners the most positive comments is a “me made”, so it is tailored precisely and the actual cost is about $40 plus my skill. And I do have designer clothes but not a standard models body. (Okay, not any kind of models body 😂😂😂) I learn so much from Beebs about why things do or do not work ❤

[@cindyjustice4650]

I believe she looked so much better on Suits because they tailored rhe clothes for her and she couldn't tell them she didn't want to wear this or that. I also believed she dressed so badly in TRF was because she wanted that to be another thing she could blame TRF for, making her look bad and besides she NEVER listens to anyone.

[@candacelemasters9577]

I don't think she understands that she's just built differently from the people she's trying to copy- Catherine is built a lot like Diana and can pull off the same look if she so chooses, and even then she misses on the rare occasion. I'm guessing the ego is on overdrive on MM's part.

[@user-rc8uz6qt7f]

It’s okay to make mention of the Nutmegs tendency is to make every event about her … HG Tutor is well versed in the area of Narcissism and has written books on this type … when she doesn’t care about others and appears pregnant for attn … those foam butts and bumps she wore are obvious to anyone one of Us who have been pregnant for real Having to hold the bump in place was not something we had to think about Real babies grow gradually and don’t pop or slip out of position if not strapped in with tight dresses ✅ Her days as a Royal were numbered 😎👍🏾 You are so careful Beebs and gracious in every way … another great teaching video 🇨🇦🌎😌
