Valentino’s Criticism of Meghan Markle’s Fashion Choices at Invictus Games Raises Eyebrows
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made headlines once again as she attended the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf.
However, this time it was not for her philanthropic efforts or support for veterans but for her fashion choices.
Valentino, a renowned designer, mocked Meghan for her outfit, specifically criticizing her decision to leave all buttons open, showcasing her body in front of veterans.
Despite arriving in Los Angeles wearing over $10,000 worth of designer pieces, including a Hermes scarf and now-sold-out Valentino flats, Meghan opted for a more affordable choice for her first Invictus event.
She wore a $217 Banana Republic shirt dress, paired with a diamond pinky ring reportedly valued at $96,000.
However, Meghan's fashion choices did not sit well with everyone.
Some accused her of using the event as an opportunity to increase her commercial value and sell clothes.
Critics argued that her outfits were uninspiring and failed to adhere to the prescribed sportswear.
She combined items in unusual ways, such as pairing shorts that were deemed too short with an elegant jacket.
To make matters worse, she changed her sneakers for high heels, which not only scratched the floor but also caused extra work for the cleaners.
During her speech to the soldiers, Meghan wore a short shirt dress and left all other buttons open, drawing attention to her skinny legs.
Valentino himself commented on this, stating that even among models, there are no legs like hers, and such revealing clothes are not suitable for formal events.
Adding fuel to the fire, rumors circulated that Meghan had done her own hair and makeup for the event in just over an hour.
The source of this information remains unknown, but it led to speculation about the authenticity of her supposed transformation into an “everywoman” who shops at Banana Republic and does her own beauty routine.
This controversy comes on the heels of a previous incident where Meghan was criticized for using the Invictus Games as a fashion runway, showcasing expensive luxury clothes and accessories.
The backlash was significant, as many felt that the event should solely focus on honoring veterans rather than becoming a platform for showcasing personal style.
Meghan's attempt to use the Invictus Games as a means of image repair has been met with skepticism and criticism.
Many argue that her actions are disrespectful to the veterans and that she should focus on genuinely repairing her reputation through personal efforts and investments.
It is clear that Meghan's obsession with her feud with the royal family has overshadowed her intentions to support and honor the incredible people who have overcome challenges and hardships.
The public remains unconvinced by her attempts to portray herself as a relatable mother figure, given her past actions and disrespect towards Queen Elizabeth and the royal institution.
As Meghan continues her journey of image repair, it is evident that she needs to allocate her own time and resources rather than relying on high-profile events like the Invictus Games.
Only through genuine understanding and respect for the struggles of others can she hope to regain the trust and admiration she once enjoyed.
