Meghan Markle has been called out for appearing a bit “try hard” after choosing to wear Dior at many royal events during her senior duties. The Duchess of Sussex has since been told this was the “wrong decision” by celebrity stylist and royal fashion expert Miranda Holder.
She told Newsweek: “Meghan has opted for Dior on several royal occasions, and I personally feel that she turned to such an elite fashion house in an effort to subconsciously clad herself in ‘fashion armor,’ attempting to shield herself from the critical gaze of the media and the public.
“Despite Meghan’s efforts to get it right, her choice of designer was a little too ostentatious for the British royal family, being more akin to Elizabeth Taylor than Queen Elizabeth.
“It just felt a little bit ‘try hard,’ but was nonetheless an easy mistake to make for someone that clearly didn’t understand the complicated British sensibilities. The outfits were no doubt stunning, but if she had hoped they would help her blend in, they were a wrong decision.”

It comes as Meghan has “raised eyebrows” with her plans to relaunched a major passion project she ditched when she joined the Royal Family.
The Duchess is looking to relaunch her blog The Tig after shutting it down while dating Prince Harry in 2017.
Documents obtained by Us Weekly found Frim Fram Inc. had applied to trademark The Tig as a website focused on “commentary in the field of travel”.
The Australian’s Media Writer Sophie Elsworth told Sky News Australia: “It’s raising eyebrows if it is true. It’s apparently her passion project to talk about consciousness living, she’s going to talk about relationships and family relationships.
“She’s got plenty to talk about there because she’s fallen out with all of her family.
“If she does go back down this path, I think it is a real worry because goodness knows what she’ll say to continue to trash the Royal Family.”
Sky News host Andrew Bolt added: “She’s going to make a lot of money if she does it, it’s going to be huge flogging shoes and dresses and whatever.”
The Duchess of Sussex first launched The Tig in 2014 named after her favourite wine, Tignanello.
She wrote about her life, charity work and love of food.
But she shut down the project just before she got engaged to Prince Harry.
Meghan wrote: “After close to three beautiful years on this adventure with you, it’s time to say goodbye to The Tig. What began as a passion project (my little engine that could) evolved into an amazing community of inspiration, support, fun and frivolity.
“You’ve made my days brighter and filled this experience with so much joy. Keep finding those Tig moments of discovery, keep laughing and taking risks, and keep being ‘the change you wish to see in the world.’”
