Over the weekend, Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made headlines once again, not for her royal status, but for her choice of attire.
Stepping out in a khaki green jumpsuit, Megan’s outfit quickly became the subject of ridicule and mockery from critics worldwide.
Social media users didn’t hold back, labeling her look as a hot mess and even comparing it to a trash bag.
Designer Malia Mills, the creator of the controversial jumpsuit, didn’t shy away from the backlash.
In fact, she embraced it by sharing a collection of some of the harshest criticisms on her Instagram account under the hashtag jumpsuitgate.
Mills humorously acknowledged the uproar, stating that wearing such a bold style comes with its fair share of criticism.
The Montecito jumpsuit, priced at $595, worn by Megan during a shopping outing, sparked a frenzy online, with comments ranging from calling it a disaster to questioning its origin from a fall collection.
Some even went as far as likening the outfit to a saggy diaper.
Despite the negative feedback, Mills expressed gratitude to Megan for opting for a lighter outfit in the chilly October weather in California.
Accessorizing the jumpsuit with a Ralph Lauren sweater, a Luella bucket bag, a Kriana hat, Valentino sunglasses, and flat sandals, Megan’s ensemble quickly sold out, much to Mills’ delight.
The limited availability of the jumpsuit led to a surge in demand, with only 4 million units available in a specific shade of green.
In a recent interview on the Archetypes podcast, Megan opened up about her past experiences, including her time as a briefcase girl on the US version of Deal or No Deal.
Reflecting on her journey and the challenges she faced, Megan shared her reasons for leaving the show, which stirred controversy once again.
Reality star Claudia Jordan defended the show’s producers, emphasizing that the casting process focused on selecting models with engaging personalities rather than objectifying them.
However, Megan’s revelations about her time on Deal or No Deal didn’t sit well with everyone, as an old clip of her appearance on “90210” resurfaced, leading to accusations of hypocrisy.
Despite facing criticism and backlash, Megan continues to navigate the spotlight and address the challenges of being in the public eye.
