Considering how anyone's hair look like with a wind like that, no one would be hapy about it Not should one be happy about it, because it just looks bad.
Is anyone happy about hair blowing out in the wind? I doubt it's causing her distress either. And with her hair, a bun or updo is not going to work in this unless it's gelled (what woman uses gel in her hair these days?) and hair sprayed to look like a helmet. She has fly aways in her hair. It'll show up.
Interesting that the cape element is so divisive...they are tricky, but for me this is an example of a cape really working well. I love how clean and simple the lines of this dress are, with that adding a great--yet still streamlined--piece of interest.
I thought her hair looked great at the start of the day but not the right choice for that wind.
The queen, who is not one to fake a smile, looks very happy with Meghan at her side, though, and that's what counts the most.
I like the bottom of the dress, but not fond of the cape. It just looks awkward.
Me. I’m black - my hair texture is a bit similar to Meghan’s and I use a gel when I pull it back, or when I’m wearing it naturally curly (it helps define the curls and keep them from frizzing). There are all kinds of gels and creams for black hair that can give a sleek look and control the frizzies/flyways without making the hair look like a helmet.
Well...nobody can complain that her shoulders and colour of dress upstages the Queen!
I hope to see the first one again. But my God I hope I don't see the second one again.Oh yeah, it’s obvious that she prefers softer updos now. My comment was in response to whether any woman still actually wears gel and to point out that using gel doesn’t mean helmet hair.
I know she’s favoring loose updos at the moment, but I hope we see a bit more variety because I think she looks good in more sleeker updos and ponytails.

I hope to see the first one again. But my God I hope I don't see the second one again.
And yes, I'm aware not all gel makes your hair looks like a helmet, but I'm talking about what she'd have to do for today with the strong wind.
Another thing I noticed about the hair is that while it flies outside, it was fine by the time the pictures of the moment of silent came. However, if she had an updo or a pontail today. Some will surely fall out. They won't go back in on their own whereas loose hair does come back down.
My favorite sleek hair style was the one when she gave the UN speech. I was lovely.
See, I love the second hairstyle, but then I love a sleek bun.
I like the dress well enough--it's beautifully cut, the color is subtle and flattering, the accessories are great--but I think the cape is a bit much. Perhaps if the cape were just an inch or two shorter? As it is, it looks as though it's strangling her arms. I like her hair, although it did get messy, but with gusts of 60mph, I'm not sure a ponytail or updo could have withstood the wind, either.
If she does end up getting criticized, it might be if she prioritizes wearing a lot of Givenchy as opposed to British brands. Like all the BR ladies, the perception seems to be that part of her job is representing home grown labels, and it mightn't go over well if Givenchy is her go-to. We'll see.
Clare Waight Keller heads Givenchy, and she's British. That's the significance of Meghan choosing Givenchy. Waight Keller is the designer Meghan is working with at that house. I am not certain that I really fully like Waight Keller's overall stylistic approach for Meghan. But we'll have to wait and see as Meghan has thus far only worn two outfits by Waight Keller (obviously more may be in the works, or already completed). There is said to be a kind of Audrey Hepburn-like vibe in Waight Keller's stylistic approach, modernized of course. I do appreciate Audrey Hepburn's look which is classic and timeless. Stilll, Meghan seems in flux a bit right now because she inherently has a sassier, edgier approach to wearing clothes which is at the moment being tempered. So her overall aesthetic in the public role of Duchess of Sussex is truly a work in progress.
However, as I said, Meghan has the grace and oomph to carry off everything she's worn thus far with flair and a bit of insouciance. As has been revealed, Meghan met Clare earlier this year and they hit it off aesthetically. So we'll see what happens going forward. Meghan will obviously experiment with using a variety of designers. She's already worn McQueen, Carolina Herrera, et al.
As I mentioned earlier, I think the top of this bespoke cream dress almost makes Meghan look like a nun (just from the way the top is styled shoulders to neck with the encircled box-like cape).

I think there is significance in supporting a British woman who is flying the British flag high in foreign houses. French and Italian houses remains the pinnacle of fashion. For a British woman educated in British design school to be the head of one of the historic houses, that's an amazing feat. Plus, it's not like she's only wearing Givenchy. If we are going that route, she's actually worn far more Canadian and UK (British, Scottish, Welsh) clothing and accessories. This really is her first Givenchy outfit outside of her wedding.

As for having a little bit of edginess. I admit that I like Meghan in her normal style, which is classic with a bit of edge in it. I just think the edginess aspect will be toned up and dialed up as appropriate, which is the right way to go. We saw that Trooping, which is a more high profile and usually fashionable event than typical engagements, and today we had this more low-keyed event. I don't expect to see her edginess completely disappear, but I don't expect it to be on display everytime either.
IMHO her hair gives her a more approachable look - I like the way she is very consequent in choosing a classical and demure style which does not upstage the Nr. 1 in the party, but clearly shows that she is a lady of consequence while the hair signals she is still "one of us" and not a highflyer leaving her roots completely.
I loved Meghan's dress today. I find myself really loving her style. I do wish she would wear her hair up more. I'm so happy that Claire Waight Keller is designing for her. She seems like a good match. Personally, I think people are making too much of the Givenchy thing. Honestly, I think the British should happy that a British woman is heading the house.
Yeah the second style doesn't work for me at all. And I'm having a difficult time warming to any of those updos with the dress she wore today. Wearing her hair down may not have been the best choice with the wind but overall, I thought it suited her look.
