Meghan looked lovely. The dress was simple but elegant, lovely pale color. I love the cape to it. It would have been quite boring without it.
Yes she needed her hair tied back. It sems to be an epidemic among British brides. How many times have I said the same about Kate??
While I really liked her garden party look, I just thought, I can't wait until we see her in a messy bun again. 
I just really dislike the idea that she didn't look like a proper royal before, as if all royal women have to embrace a certain style or look. No messy bun yesterday but I will take satification in the fact that she didn't feel compelled to wear a hat or updo. That tells me that her style choices are still based on what she likes or prefers and I will always champion that above else.
Since it is "said to be bespoke" I doubt it. But serendipity? Absolutely. I think she wore the capelet just for the extra warmth but she removed it when they stopped for lunch.
Wow, imagine it! I think she may do something quite different with her hair once children come along 'just because' it's easier. But that's me. Not sure she'd ever go the Charlene of Monaco route but it's interesting to consider.
Lately I've become a bit obsessed with Charlotte Tilbury - because I think her approach seems to mirror Meghan's more natural approach. I've been looking at a lot of CL tutorials lately thinking that's a good way to approximate a clean makeup look like Meghan's.
There are no words.... but I do think a great deal of the comments are rooted in the fact that what the camera 'sees' becomes the reality more than the RL experience. In RL no one cares about wrinkles or blowing hair. But to think that a royal, or anyone, should so dress that a stray camera lens won't pick up wrinkles - ach!
I guess - but no one seems to talk about it enough!!
CL has a face palette (complete with eye shadows, bronzer, highlighter and 2 blushes) that are divine - just a bit too light for my complexion in terms of the bronzer. Estee Lauder has a palette offered in light, medium and deep so I got the deep one. It's good but EL's colors are a bit too "frosty". It still works, it's just more frosty in the coloring once you apply it.
But mostly I think Meghan does a neutral base color on her lid, with a brightening color on her brow and inner eye socket area and then she smudges the entire lash line up to her crease in a dark color like black or deep chocolate brown. She finishes her eye with eye liner and mascara. She doesn't seem to wear heavy foundation so her freckles show through and then she just uses a glowy pinky peach blush. She probably uses a highlighter too - whatever she uses is really good because she gets all glow from it and no frostiness.
. I hate the straitjacket cape and am thrilled we’ll have a great dress underneath for a future sighting.
I loved Meghan's style from the moment I saw her. I can't really describe why it is different but I think it is that she rocks a minimalist style at the moment. I love the longer skirts and let's face it she has the legs and shoes to carry it. I really liked her interpretation of formal with both of her blush ensembles.
