J.Crew Blazer Causes Controversy as Meghan Markle’s Fashion Choices Spark Mixed Reactions
Meghan Markle's fashion choices have once again become the subject of scrutiny, particularly her slim legs, following her recent appearance in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The Duchess of Sussex accompanied her husband, Prince Harry, to the 2023 Invictus Games, where her ensemble garnered attention for its wrinkled appearance, oversized footwear, and short shorts.
For the event, Meghan donned a cream-colored custom-tailored outfit consisting of a J.Crew blazer over a black tank top and matching white shorts.
She accessorized the look with a diamond pinky ring by Lorraine Schwartz, a gold love bangle, and a Cartier tank watch, completing the ensemble with Chanel slingbacks.
However, the J.Crew website encountered technical difficulties after the brand chose not to promote Meghan's blazer.
In response to the digital backlash, the fashion outlet took to Twitter, stating that their team was working to resolve the issue and urged customers to check back later.
Interestingly, the website crashed even before Meghan wore her wrinkled attire.
Critics deemed her outfit choice inappropriate for the occasion, as the combination of short shorts and an oversized blazer raised eyebrows, giving her a somewhat disheveled appearance.
Many were left puzzled by her fashion decisions, which seemed mismatched for the event.
The controversy surrounding Meghan's clothing led to an unexpected turn of events.
It was reported that the influx of traffic and inquiries related to Meghan's outfit caused the J.Crew website to crash.
Fans flocked to the site and took to Twitter to express their interest in purchasing items from Meghan's look.
Some even speculated that her fashion choices were responsible for the website's downtime.
Responding to the speculation, J.Crew assured customers that the website's maintenance was planned and unrelated to Meghan's outfit.
However, Meghan's attempt to leverage her fashion choices for influence garnered mixed reactions.
Some questioned the timing of the maintenance, while others found the situation amusing.
It seems that Meghan's endeavor to replicate the “Meghan effect” associated with her fashion choices had varying degrees of success among her supporters and critics.
However, it appears that J.Crew, like Dior, wants to distance itself from Meghan.
Their quick response regarding the website's maintenance suggests they do not wish to be associated with her.
On the other hand, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, effortlessly sells out everything she wears without relying on Instagram, PR firms, or constant articles about her outfits.
Unlike Meghan, Catherine has established herself as a brand that consistently sells out pieces she wears, regardless of the brand.
She has never hesitated to wear Zara, J.Crew, or even Topshop items, creating what is known as the “Kate effect” – a significant increase in sales for those pieces.
In a surprising turn of events, reports have emerged that King Charles, Prince William, and Catherine have snubbed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the Invictus Games, sparking outrage among UK military veterans.
Royal commentator Lady Colin Campbell shed light on the royal family's lack of acknowledgment for the armed forces participating in the games, citing a rift with Harry and Meghan as the reason.
During an interview with GB News, Lady Colin Campbell explained that Charles, William, and Kate had been advised to completely ignore the Sussexes at the Invictus Games in Germany.
She questioned how the royals could endorse Harry and Meghan's actions without endorsing the lies and accusations they have made against the family.
Lady Colin praised the decision of the new monarch and the Prince and Princess of Wales, stating that they were well advised.
She firmly believes that the royals should completely ignore Harry and Meghan and anything they do.
