Even the paparazzi’s street-photos from last night were impossibly glamorous. Y’all know there are rage-tantrums being thrown in Windsor this morning. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at the Ms. Foundation’s Women of Vision Awards last night with Meghan’s mom Doria Ragland in tow. Mama Doria looked amazing, but obviously, Meghan’s look practically broke Twitter last night. Meghan wore a customized Johanna Ortiz dress (she removed the straps), Tom Ford heels in gold, J.Crew hoops and a Carolina Herrera clutch. Meghan looked expensive and I’m loving her rich-bitch era (she’s not a bitch, calm your t-ts, it’s an expression!).
Meghan was one of several honorees at the Women of Vision Awards, and she made a speech about reading Ms. Magazine as a girl and how that influenced her to be more than ornamental, that she should have a career and care about important issues. Here’s one video of her speech:

I’m including more photos below – I think my favorite pic is Harry flanked by Doria and Meghan, with his arms around both. I need someone to write a real piece about how much Doria and Harry adore each other, because I suspect that Doria treats him like a son and that Harry is extremely grateful to have Doria in his life. The photos of Meghan and Harry exiting the venue are amazing too – all of the bodyguards were ready to lay down their lives for Meghan in that gold dress.

Stunning!! Glowing!!!
She really was stunning and Meg glows from the inside out.
I will freely admit my jaw dropped at the glow! Amazing!
She’s always incredibly beautiful, but to me, these rival the bad bitch tour photos in the rain in that turquoise dress. She looks impossibly flawless, and that pic with Doria and Harry? He looks like the happiest man alive.
Do you know that sound that they put over like adorable puppies bouncing or goats jumping or babies laughing?
It’s like “I’m a hap-py hap-py guy!” That sound could be over Harry in these pics. Absolutely adorable and wonderful how much he treasures them both.
Damn, she looks amaaaaaaaaaaazing and totally radiant. I suppose being happy, healthy and successful truly is the best revenge.
Doria being there to see her baby girl receive her award while looking fab is wonderful. Harry looked relaxed, happy and proud. Meghan spoke eloquently in a relatable way, all while looking effortlessly beautiful in that amazing gold dress. That one bodyguard looks ready to throw her over his shoulder and run at the slightest threat!
I just read that some deranged royal watchers are claiming that Meghan, in her sleek, classic, modern, drop dead gorgeous dress, tried and failed to copy Kate’s bronze/gold flapper era dress she wore last year. Sigh! I can’t believe some people’s bad taste and/or envy.
Indeed!! I don’t care what she wear, I just love seeing them together
Salty Island: Meghan’s Women of Vision award is a slap in Charles’ face.
Duchess Meghan: ♪ Living my life like it’s golden, golden, golden…♪
You know what, we should simply STOP talking about those on the Salty Island of Petty and Jealous!! Why should we give them one OUNCE of energy today??? Let’s simply stop giving them any type of power here from now on!!! They don’t deserve to be mention, oxygen NOR attention!!
This was Meghans night!!! It was ALL Meghan and her accomplishments as well as her magnificent heart, her convictions and her hard work!!
Let’s celebrate Meghan and Harry from now on as they deserve to be given the support that was stolen from them and celebrate their lives, fully!!
My goodness she is so breathtakingly gorgeous! That dress! damn!
I love them so much. I feel like Edwina in Raising Arizona when she finally holds Nathan.
This needs to be said: Doria is hot.
Totally hot, Meghan certainly inherited Doria’s inner and outer “glow”. Those two are magic!
But OMG the genes, Doria seems to be a glowing, very health woman. Wishing her many more years!
“Good black don’t crack.” Doria is 67 and looking fabulous.
She looks beautiful – that’s a great look for her.
Drop dead gorgeous.
She is just as stunning when she first met Harry.
These pictures of her lit up my day.
I also loved the respect and courtesy she showed towards her mother.
Those photos hit and I was knocked out. The gown, the hair the GLOW! I’m just so happy for Meghan and Harry and so grateful the have Doria. What a fantastic family.
Same! Happy pictures, love ’em! Harry looks like – I’m with THESE WOMEN
Harry is showing that he has won the jackpot with Meghan and Doria and is basking in the riches of his life as it is now!! Harry knows that he is exactly where he wants to be and is enjoying every moment of it as well!!
In that photo where Meghan is looking up at him, Harry looks like the cat who ate the canary. Like “I cannot believe my amazing life!”
That’s my favorite too, SarahLee. His smirk was all, “Yeah, I’m the lucky mfer that gets to go home with her.”
Not only were the photos perfect, but Meghan is trained and ready for public speaking. She sounds relatable, focused, and on target with her comments, and I respect the heck out of that.
acha: Right?? Compare to the “still learning” princess of wails … 🙄🙄🙄 …
some people think public speaking begins and ends with a fancy dress, i guess.
reminds me of Pippa Middleton’s book, where she legit had a section about how to make ice. How. To. Make. Ice. not a bright family here.
Same! The first article I saw was about the event itself, but that dress was all I could see, and she’s just absolutely glowing.
Meghan & Harry, and Doria all look so good! I’m so happy Meghan & Harry found each other and are thriving!❤️
YES!!!! They all looked incredibly happy and are glowing with happiness, love and an unbreakable bond!! Meghan looked absolutely jaw dropping stunning and shining with her inner beauty out!! Doria is simply the perfect person that offers them all of the love and support that they BOTH need and want and she never misses a beat!!
Ms Ragland is a stone cold fox, she looks amazing. She’s got a real elegance about her, and carries herself so well.
She was glowing. And that wasn’t just the dress.
Loved Harry’s heart eyes and always nice to see Doria!
Yaaas! Harry was like “Look at my AMAZING wife and my beautiful mother in law! Can you believe how lucky I am!?” Complete opposite of his father.
Harry knows how lucky he is to have an amazingly stunning wife and an incredible mother in law. Doria has become his loving parent. His own loving mother is gone and the less said about his father and step mother the better. Sometimes we’ve got to make our own families. Congratulations, Meghan!
The dress name is “ideal universe” she chooses her dresses so well.
#SussexSquad said that it sold out in literal minutes.
More! More! I want more!
This is what I want to see. Meghan thriving. Meghan SERVING in every sense of the word. Meghan doing her own thing that had NOTHING to do with the Salt Island royals.
So much more! During the pandemic when there were months when H & M were the only news story, and it was all heartbreaking, I couldn’t wait for them to reemerge as glamorous public figures. I’m so here for it now! (I also said on the hiking photos that I’m not interested in seeing their private moments invaded. I want to see the photos they want us to see). I am waiting for the time when I can see them speak live somewhere. I’m sure it will happen eventually.
I love how Meghan explained that Ms Magazine was different from the magazines she saw by the checkout in the grocery store, how she gave a shout-out to her mom, and how happy, healthy and glamorous she looked last night.
I too loved that Meghan pointed out how different and impactful MS magazine was!!! MS magazine was a stepping stone from the girl to the woman that Meghan is today!! Brava to Doria with her enduring support as a mother as well!
I feel that so hard. I’m a little older than her, but I subscribed to Seventeen magazine all through junior high. I cancelled my subscription in high school because I was sick of articles on how to get a boyfriend. I don’t think I’d heard of Ms Magazine yet, which is a shame, but I did read the New Yorker and Newsweek as a teen because my parents subscribed.
How dare she wear gold so close after the coronation! It’s a slap in the face of Charles’ carriage, which looks like a garbage truck by comparison.
Yes! That sounds just about the right level of unhinged for the press in the UK.
My first thought was that she wore something that her psycho stalker would not be able to replicate but of course she’s desperate enough to try.
No doubt there are minions in the bowels of Kensington Palace gilding buttons and calling McQueen to see what kind of gold lame gowns there are on the rack
I wouldn’t be surprised to see “Kate did it first” with that gold lame monstrosity she wore to a movie premiere. It is my most fervent wish that somebody puts those two gold pictures side-by-side. One is a stunning presence, the other looks like some thing you put on top of the Christmas tree.
Now I think about it, both pictures are stunning, but with different stunning results!
OMG you are right! Style, she got it, Kingy-poo does not.
If she had worn that to the chubbly the entire ceremony would have looks like a cheap imitation in comparison.
Haha, exactly!
LOL! So true.
HA! @Dutch I honestly cackled. Comment of the week.
Your comment is gold. Pun intended, 100%.
I actually cackled.
Anyone pick gold for her dress? I thought maybe navy since she recently wore black and white. Dang she looks incredible! So glad she’s not toning down and hiding her light anymore.
Not Gold especially but I predicted vibrant (not black /white etc). Thrilled she didn’t dim her light.
I was legit thinking she might just do something sleek and black so I was not even close😂
I did not! I thought it would be another neutral in a cool cut. This is such a fun surprise and reminiscent of her more risqué actress days. I’m so glad she’s embracing the cameras with her banging body and confidence! We’ve been deprived for so long…
It’s the last thing I expected. But it was perfection. She looks sunkissed and happy and healthy and vibrant, and I’m just so happy for her.
Gold didn’t even cross my mind but damn, she was PERFECTION last night!!! I thought she would choose a deep, rich color but never gold, not a single blip.
No but I knew she would pick a color and dress that slayed. No neutrals. She was being recognized by her peers so she would definitely shine. She looked gorgeous, they all looked happy and I’m sure there are many wiglet throwing tantrums and gnashing of teeth by her in laws. Harry and Doria looked proud and thrilled for her. Congrats Meghan!
I thought she was going to wear darker colours.
They all look amazing. Especially Doria. Hard to believe she is in her sixties. Love that Meghan is using a sustainable designer in Johanna Ortiz.
I was thinking the same! Doria looks much younger than her age, and Meghan takes after her. Both women are beautiful, and classy with an inner glow that shines so bright!
Meghan & Doria look gorgeous, as does the woman standing next to/supporting Gloria Steinem. And I love that Steinem herself stayed true to herself & wore pants/top/hiphugger belt.
Beautiful people doing beautiful things 😍
Can you imagine the BRF and the dusty media thinking Harry would choose them over HER and their beautiful life? Like BFFR.
Her skin practically matches the dress! Glowing, sunkissed, goldish bronze, luminescent. I’m not usually a fan of keyhole cutouts, but I hardly notice it here. And, yeah, she looks happy and like she’s thriving. Congrats, Meghan!
What was that bit about Harry being soooo unhappy?
HA! 🙂
He’s clearly miserable, the poor guy
😂😂😂😂
The woman is just gorgeous 🥰. In 3,2,1we will have a cheap version of this for 🌎 💉 in November. Catherine designers on your mark, get set, go
And do you remember that not attending the chubbly would be a ‘career disaster’ for meghan? she’s so clearly suffering because she didn’t go to the tinfoil hat party.
She looked STUNNING. This may be one of my favorite looks of hers. Just gorgeous. Glowing, happy, healthy, and yes, very very rich, lol.
I think its clear doria and harry are close. I feel like Doria treats him like a son but is never trying to replace Diana as his mother, you know? I also feel like Doria probably looks at this man who walked away from his family and life to protect her daughter and loves him for that.
@ Becks1, oh, absolutely!!! Doria seems to be the type of mother that is there and when you are ready, Doria is there for you at every second and moment that you need her. Doria is an exceptionally warm, supportive, loving and caring woman as Meghan is a testament as to the type of women that Doria is. And I agree that Doria does have a special type of love for Harry as he has proven to her that he will protect and love Meghan first and foremost and nothing will change that!!
But I do agree that Meghan looked stunning!!! Jaw dropping gorgeous, glowing and rich, very very rich!!
Yes, to all this. Not only very, very rich, but ready to embark her new life at a very high level – like WME level.
I can’t help comparing this dress to Kate’s tiara. Both Meghan and Kate have had a debut of sorts – Kate, at the coronation, officially POW with her ancient, all-enveloping royal robes and faux-tiara – and now Meghan, stepping out freely and making gold look as modern and “unroyal” as possible.
The picture with just Meaghan and Harry, she’s looking adoringly at him. I think on most photos, he’s staring at her like he can’t believe his luck. Nice to have one in the other direction to complete the photo set on the piano 😁
I love harry’s expression in that picture. He just looks like he’s mocking everyone who speculates on their potential divorce, lol.
Harry’s *smirking* in that picture!!!
That’s a full “yep, she’s mine. And everything you think is correct” BDE smirk 😁
One Squad account — I sadly don’t remember who it was — put this photo next to that particular one from their engagement announcement in KP, shortly after this set came out last night.
It’s as if there’s only days between the photos, and Meghan looking adoringly at Harry is identical.
Ha, true love! 😍
Can’t wait for the British media to come out with their “Clearly this marriage is on the rocks” hot takes.
Oh yes!!! This is what genuine, unconditional love and what admiration LOOKS like!!! When I see them like this, it takes me back to what Tyler Perry said about their love and it’s TRUE!!!
True.
Agree. Reminded of the part in SPARE discussing Meghan’s wedding ring.
“Last of the gold. That was how I felt about Meg.”.
Meghan looks exquisite. They all do.
MOTHER.
They all look so incredible, you can just feel the love they have for each other😭😍 I’m so happy for them😍
The mermaid-esque look is reminding me of what Meg said in the Sussex doc about feeling like her voice was taken from her just like Ariel, and now she’s out here mermaiding it up, happy and free with her prince. GOOD FOR HER.
Yes! The print really looked like mermaid scales. Some were calling it snake but I was seeing gold mermaid.
I mean, I could see it giving “snake” but if that’s the case, I’d see at as Meg in her Reputation (Taylor’s version) era, it’s the “Look what you made me do” energy for me.
I was thinking dragon because she’s bringing the heat!
Mermaids, dragons, snakes oh my! Mythological goddess vibes 🔱
I feel like Meg is purposely using this mermaid pattern telegraphing and celebrating younger generations breaking through barriers, as with Hallie Bailey’s upcoming role.🧜🏾♀️
Meghan! Gorgeous golden girl! Her bodyguards were not playing around. Love it.
She looks like she feels safe— that is what I love most. Safe to be outside, safe to express who she is. Reclaim herself, her looks, her space. A new era of Meghan.
This is such a beautiful comment and I love that you shared this. I completely agree. Meghan looks like she feels safe, healthy, happy and free to give support to all the people and causes and that move her heart.
While I think she looks great the dress was meh. I thought the fabric was too heavy a choice for the time of year. I know the reasoning but didn’t like the front seam & while the color suited her well, the movement of the dress was rather stiff. But I’m weird when it comes to fashion. I see it as architecture in a different medium. I would have liked to see a fabric that moved better.
I can see that. I think I felt opposite about the NAACP dress. The movement with it was chef’s kiss, but I didn’t think it photographed as well.
I didn’t like the colour on this dress as much, there’s a slight green undertone? Idk. I think if she went warmer it would look brighter, really make her skin POP. But she looks beautiful regardless, it’s the glow for me.
It might be the lighting – in the outside photos, the dress looks more pure gold.
I thought that at first, until I really looked at her moving. The dress moved and molded to her body easily. They look so genuinely happy, no faking for the cameras here!
Yes, at first glance it looks like a heavy fabric but in the motion photos you can see it’s lighter weight & moves easily.
I actually agree. I don’t like the dress at all.
It’s not my favorite dress either. But man, she elevates EVERYTHING with that glow and that smile. She radiates warmth and elegance like few people I’ve ever seen. And you can tell she gets it from her mother, because wow, Doria looks amazing!
All 3 of them looks great, genuine, free, and HAPPY.
I’m the same and I usually love metallics. Not a fan of the fabric or keyhole. Love the length though. I think I would’ve loved the color more in a copper. It was almost too close to her skin.
But her skin, makeup and hair are perfection. And doria looked fab. Comfortable but elegant.
Meghan looked amazing & her speech was heartfelt. Seeing the pics of her friends & family coming out to support her was incredibly moving.
Absolutely love this dress!!! The texture and style are amazing!!!!
Meghan is glowing, that dress is so beautiful
She looks amazing! They all do. I adore the dress but what I like most of all is how they are being true to themselves and how Meghan’s genuine passion for the work she does shines through.
When I saw these photos I was reminded of the tv show Insecure(so good). Specifically the last season, when the main character’s main love interest/ex boyfriend runs into one of her best friends, named Kelly at an event. He asks how “everyone” is doing. And she responds, “Everyone I associate with is thriving, limitless, in abundance.”
That is how I feel about Meghan and Harry. They are thriving, limitless, in abundance.
@sunny Everyone should have a friend like Kelly who would deliver a 🔥 line like that to an ex. 😂. But yes, that is Harry and Meghan in a nutshell!!
Harry. Looking miserable and confused.🙄
They all look fabulous, and now I’m starting a countdown to the moment we see Kate in textured gold and strappy heels.
God forbid!!! I can’t with this visual!!🤣🤣🤣
Tufiakwa, LOL saying that with all the Igbo energy.
OMG, I swoon. Gorgeous, intelligent, kind-hearted — Meghan is the whole package and I stan her for life! Oh yeah, Harry looks nice too. Lol. And Doria is goals…clearly we see where M gets her great genes from!
Gloria’s posture is to die for. She’s a stunner.
It’s Doria, and she gets her perfect posture from teaching yoga. Both Doria and Meghan do yoga daily and it really shows.
Harry and his two favourite women, so happy for him.
He deserves to be loved .
I loved my favourite security guy holding Dorias hand as he escorted her to their car.
They seem such a tight knit group and it is wonderful to see .
The security presence jumped out at me, too. There were at least three, if not more, bodyguards with their hands on her from the door to the car. The bodyguard with Doria literally held her hand until she was safely inside the vehicle. There was no way anyone was going to hurt them, and with H in the lead, anybody who tried would have been a fool. The down side for me was the realization that with that much security, the threat level was probably high. That said, it was a fabulous night for them, and we got plenty of glorious photos to enjoy. Our girl deserves all that honor, and much more!
Loathe William as I do, it says a lot about Chuck as a parent that both his sons have gravitated to their MIL’s.
It speaks to how uninterested a parent he truly has been.
This was hand down my favorite look from her. She looked stunning! It was wonderful to see Doria there and I agree that Doria and Harry seem to adore each other.
If I didn’t know them, I wouldn’t guess that Doria is old enough to be mom, though. I’d think she was 5-10 years older than them, a sister or friend .
I agree she was absolutely stunning.
Absolutely stunning.
I don’t really like cut out sections, seen at the top diamond shape, but that is a beautiful dress and I change my mind here. Wonderful colour. Wow! I think what really counts is their happiness and love; it’s magnetic. There’s a sense of “us” about them as a couple.
I have not been able to find the full audio of her speech yet (help would be greatly appreciated) so my comments will just be about her looks.
Meghan looked like a million bucks! Her face and her hair were perfect. The bodice of this dress fit her well (this is usually the only area of her ensemble that I question), and the material and the color – she was luminous! Heauxs are going to be mad this morning!!
She looked marvelous! Love the dress, makeup, hair, all ! Mama and Harry looked so beautiful and happy as well as proud as well.
Love it ! I want to continue seeing them win!
I did spend hours! Hours! Looking at the pics! She looked amazing, as did mama and hubs. Meanwhile the derangers were constantly reposting the disco ball of doom like it was a winner and made her look bad, or something 🤣🤣🤣 her speech was amazing. And standing ovation.
I think I saw a screenshot of Kinsey Schofield saying it was giving Vegas show girl vibes and I just had to laugh. It’s not giving Vegas showgirl vibes but it was clear someone had been reading the comments we had for Kate’s Jenny Packham at the Bond premier and was still feeling salty about it.
Are they really comparing that look to this one? I mean, REALLY? this is modern, stylish, perfectly accessorized, great makeup and hairstyle .. not to mention Meghan’s inner glow.. Kate’s look was meuh…and do you remember the hair nest above her head? She destroyed the whole thing with her “mother of the bride” updo .
Yes, I saw the derangers trying to say Meghan copied by wearing gold. As if Kate’s Dynasty 1980s inspired monstrosity even compares to this.
I’m glad you wrote that and I feel better for the hours I spent looking at photos and the speech last night. Very joyful and so much understanding of the goals with awards. Truly honoring a person and that person bringing a spotlight to the entity, through dedication, sincerity and a great slice of beauty and glamour.
That is an awesome dress. Good luck on khate to copy that.
You know Kate stayed up last night just to see what Meghan wore and immediately called someone to get her a copy .
@geegee @over it. She’ll copykeen but make small changes so there’s plausible deniability and it’ll be subtle as well. The hoop style earrings will come out tomorrow. Strapless dress is definitely going to be worn at Earthflop in November. And she’s pulling out the scrappy heels as we speak
I just had a vision of Kate having a secret closet of everything Meghan ever wore (off the rack) and she puts them on at night pretending she’s Meghan.
I’m loving the fact that Meghan is appearing in super short day dresses and strapless evening wear and just embracing elements that would “break royal protocol” for anyone keen to SWF it! Good luck Khate, indeed!
Hahaha CopyKate is off the hook, she already wore gold to the Bond premiere. Who wore it better tho?
CopyKate’s heavily beaded atrocity from the 1990s Dynasty series era with matching huge earrings were so over the top jarring. Everything was screaming all at once. Meg is quintessentially more elegant and chic with perfectly paired accessories.
Gorgeous!
I just don’t know how Meghan can possibly top this one . She looked incredibly beautiful. Doria is beautiful and looked amazing too. Harry looks good and he’s like yup, that beautiful black woman looking like a golden goddess is all mine .
My feelings exactly. I kept hearing the Cole Porter song “You’re the Top” in my head last night. Wearing coronation gold and being treated like the queen of America. Doesn’t get better than this.
She really did look gorgeous….I don’t know how she will top it but she will.
Everyone looked beautiful and happy, but I can’t get over her speech! So natural. No stumbling or notecards. She could be having coffee with a friend, she is so real and approachable. Love her!
She’s a great communicator. The BRF really lost out. We as Brits really lost out.
@SPARROW, agree, the British Royal family and the public have lost out BIG TIME. We are stuck with the walking prk with teeth and the guffawing, walking, not talking princess of wiglets who borrowed her teeth from mom Carey. When I think of the difference Megan and Harry could have made to the Royal rats, but were denied the chance because of jealousy! I loved a peice today, my American friends on here have not heard of the sitcom Hi d Hi, but there was a picture today of keen in her yellow blazer being described as one of the yellow coats from it 😂
Mary! Yes, Hi de Hi. It was all over the DM posts – we Brits just jumped on it, didn’t we, and it was perfection.
The DM has this article in their royals section I believe, well away from the front page and still a bit down. (That’s where I found it; it could’ve been moved.) Nothing like hiding something wonderful, which goes to show that paper really is in the grips of the BRF.
Oh yeah, they definitely avoid covering anything that’s positive for team sussex. And yet she’s still the conversation so they’re deliberately hurting their bottom line out of spite.
She looks beautiful and the two of them just glow with happiness.
Also good luck to Kate trying to copy THAT dress.
The Squaddies shouting love for Doria and sending best wishes to Archie and Lilibet, sometimes I think Harry never experienced anything like this, although he did thank fans for their support saying it was really needed.
The Sussex Squad fundraiser for Archie and Lili’s birthday supporting Kaboom is over 70K, ends June 4.
They updated last night, and they hit 75K. With several weeks until Lili’s birthday, this fundraiser may just break Squaddie records!
Yes, I love the way the Squaddies raise funds. The goodwill towards the Sussexes knows no bounds.
I’m shocked Mama Doria is turning 66, I need tips n the family pic is chefs kiss especially since a certain father only has pics from 4 years ago n Meghan looked gorgeous in back to her glamorous self 👌🏽💫
she looked STUNNING, absolutely glowing. man, you can really tell how muted she was during those dark times. her and harry look absolutely smitten with each other.
Gorgeous! And hold on a moment there, Mama Doria!!
We all know that Meghan can deliver a great speech, but I loved her mentioning her desire to be more than ornamental. That as much as anything brings it home that the RF were never going to accept her. Their whole purpose is to be ornamental.
Brilliant family who love each other so much. All of them look fabulous. Meghan’s shoes, I can only dream of wearing such fun beautiful shoes like that.
Meghan is beautiful but this dress ain’t it. Does not flatter her figure at all
Do we know if Meghan uses a stylist and who it is? I think she has such a great eye for amazing clothes that work on her so she probably is extremely involved in her styling at the least, and I would guess that she has someone to help her source the clothes she picks?
Love you Meghan!!!! Why can’t you and Harry be the ones coming to my country 😭❤️😘
Doria looks so good! Of course Prince Hot Ginger looks as dashing as ever!
Congratulations Meghan!
Meghan looked amazing and she proved once again why the Royal Family and the British press wanted her gone.
Meghan’s dress is goegeous and it sold out in an hour after the pictures dropped. There was some British clown shouting at Meghan when they walked in and the US photogs shut him down. He was Id’d on Twitter as an editor for the Express US offices and he was dragged so badly he was blocking people. He put out a tweet saying he was not the person heckling Meghan, but so far no other pap at the event has come forward to back him up.
Wait, What? Can you link to video or tweets would love to see this
My mouth hit the floor when I saw Meg! OMG- how stunning, glowing and most importantly- looking so happy! They are truly living their best lives.
They all looked happy and beautiful. The dress is stunning but I’m not that crazy about the bodice. I am so happy to see Doria with H&M. Showing parental support when the two “fathers” are all about themselves.
The texture of the dress adds a lot of visual interest and it looked really lovely, especially on the stage.
So nice to see Doria- she is a stunning lady. But the photos of them leaving, surrounded by heavy security and at least three of them protecting Meghan with their arms made me feel sad. Her life is in real danger because of all the deranged people out there.
I agree. The threat level must have been sky high. And you know it would be worse in the UK. it just enrages me when I think about all the hate and abuse that has been hurled at her, causing the need for such a security presence.
Gorgeous and beautiful Meghan. Fabulous gown and the looks she and harry gave each other showing their love for each other. Dori a looks fantastic and proud of her family.
I don’t like the pattern but that’s a me thing rather than it being objectively bad. I like very, very specific patterns in dresses/clothes and this isn’t one of them.
But LOVE LOVE LOVE the hair, the glow and the shoes. The shoes! Did sneak a peak at a website and woo, all sold out. Not that I could afford them anyway haha.
Coming back to say I think her look is so modern and fresh, not stale and weighted down. They literally look “now” and yet eternal, with a connection that isn’t forced or presented. They look lovely. I’m so pleased for them – that they got away and made it work.
I will be honest (please don’t yell at me) but the gold dress and the white dress just are not my favorite, PERSONALLY. Mostly because I don’t think I could pull off gold or white, and I also like floor length dresses, but that’s just me!
However! Meghan looks AMAZING. She and Harry look at each other with so much love and he isn’t trying to pull focus from the event that is honoring her. Love it.
ETA- I do think Meghan looks beautiful and I am not dissing her in any way! Just saying, it’s not my personal favorite style of dress, that’s all. She’s glowing and happy and looks amazing. And looks like she is *gasp* having fun?! (The audacity!!!! /s)
There are elements of the dress that I usually don’t like on anyone. The cut out diamond shape at the bust and the slit/split; splits always make garments look cumbersome and impossible to walk in without a cut into the fabric, IMO. However, this dress in movement and under light, where it shimmers like mosaic, just doubles her internal glow. Like you say, her gorgeous manner is the clincher.
I think this is the thing with Meghan. I don’t always love what she wears (although post royal I have loved her looks a lot more). This look I do love, like I said above I think this is one of my favorite looks of hers ever.
But, even if I don’t like a dress or outfit, she always looks amazing overall because she looks so happy and glowing and confident (especially post royal life.)
It’s ok. You’re allowed to say you don’t like a dress!
Love the dress. Kate will copy. It’s too good a look. Glad they are all thriving and triumphant.
This is how you do an all gold look without it being tacky. Gorgeous across the board! So glad her family and some friends were out to support her.
I’m so glad the Meghan Markle “sparkle” is back in full force! No “be 50% of yourself” BS here, no time for that anymore…shine in all your diva glory Meghan!
She did red, she did blue and now gold. Like air she rises.
Lol, that’s how you do an intercontinental slap! Congrats to Meghan for her accomplishments. Congrats to Doria, for setting such a great example. And congrats to Harry, for choosing a life of love and service, instead of a life of servitude.
Tom Sykes is having a rage fit over on Tge Daily Beast. Poor him. Loser.
What on earth is he raging about? That Meghan wore a gold dress? That this somehow violates the “Sandringham Summit”? That loser needs to FO and quickly!
looking forward to his 2933975th article about how there’s no way back, W hates them both and how dare they breathe so soon after the coronation.
Really? The piece I read seemed unusually light on the rage. Did he write something else?
Well there’s poor Harry the hostage being drug to yet ANOTHER event that Meghan set up to make herself look like she won another award 🙄(😑sarcasm, y’all. I’m feeling snippy this morning. Merlin has been very ill. He’s slowly getting better but it’s a long road ahead)
Will no one think of the poor Windsor/Cambridges???)
Chuck: *whines*
Camilla: *drinks*
Kate: “I NEED A GOLD DRESS RIGHT NOW. MAKE SURE IT HAS BUTTONS”
Wills: damnnnnnnn. *looks @ kate* *sighs*
Harry: Yeahhhhhhh, that’s right, you wish Cambridge *thumbs nose @ William*
Doria: SLAYS
Meghan: looking 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (and looking at Harry like the full snack he is 😼)
oh I hope Merlin is better soon!!
and yes, lol, won’t anything think of the Windsors??? I’m sure there are things being thrown this morning at Adelaide Cottage haha.
That dress was fire in motion. It fit her like a glove and warmed her skin in the right ways too.
I did see some jerk had the nerve to ask her about how does it feel breaking up two families but he got booed by the U.S. press/people taking photos. Jerk.
Did he think Camilla was there? He probably should run that question by her.
That doesnt even make any sense? They made a family though maybe he got it backwards.
Sorry, no likely the dress. Side view is amazing but full front it make it look like Meghan has a barrel-bod. I do not like the fabric….too brocade-ish. However, other than the dress, she looks amazing! She does glow!
That’s my two penny review…..just know that I’m fashion UNconscious.
Lol, well sign me up to be a barrel then.
Yasss Meghan!! I did gasp too when I saw her. I was expecting something muted but she brought it!!
I hope we see more of this..Meghan shining!!
And Dora WOW!! She’s absolutely gorgeous!
I love the family picture. They are all just glowing!!
Ok but why are they are at Hertz rental counter?? Was there not an actual red carpet?
There are lots of hotels in ny that have car rental offices on the ground floor by parking. I’ve rented from one before. So it’s essentially an alternate entrance. They went from there to where pictures were being taken with Gloria and the founder. However, I’m sure hertz does not mind that they used their entrance.
There was a traffic jam or something on the road, so they went to the red carpet via the parking garage.
I would imagine that arrangements like this are worked out between their security team, the event organizers and the venue. They probably hoped to bring them in quietly.
I think this is more like it. All the details have been pre-arranged; no window for errors especially with security nightmare VIPs like Harry and Meghan.
She looks so happy and glam, truly like royalty. And Doria, my goodness, she’s holding it up well for us Boomers! Hi Harry!
Meghan is the epitome of beauty and self-confidence. She’s stunning really. That guy who shouted that negative question was planted by the British media for sure. The British press is not happy the Sussexes don’t need them AT ALL. Stick to your stiff, bland and boring William and Kate. Meghan and Harry are looking so happy and in love. Stay pressed British press.
I was stunned by the whole look. The styling from head to toe was exquisite. It hit all the right notes for when you wear gold. I’m really amazed by how Meghan just kicked the door in and walked into icon status.
I was thinking last week reading the Millie mackintosh story how much I preferred her pre Harry fashion. And here it is. Fabulous. Love this look on her
I agree! I’ve been so eager to see how Meghan’s style would evolve once she left Salt Isle and wow! I have not been disappointed. Many elements of her pre-royal life are there but also am evolution to a look of quiet luxury, which looks so good on her.
VaVaVOOM!!! Wow she is always gorgeous but this is next level stunning!!
Just think, if they were still working Royals Meghan would not be receiving all these accolades. She would have had to take a step back for Camilla & Kate to be recognised first.
I’ve thought about that a few times whenever I see someone saying “what could have been.”
Yeah no it wasn’t going to work out because Meghan and Harry are hard workers. They also care. Combine them together with their passion, creativity, drive.. yup no this was ALWAYS going to happen.
Wow! They look amazing and Harry is soo proud!
Outfits are trendy, modern and 100% on point!
My most favorite picture was the entrance, first look meghan amazing, but the hungry proud wolf look on harrys face, and pride on dorias face blew me out the water. That had to Fook the haters up. All the lonely people, who will never experience that level of happiness, and resent those that do. I was laughing and crying at the same time. Those two deserve joy and happiness.
I could see Meghan having a JCrew brand partnership.
magnificent!
I was having such an awfully ****ing morning, and then I opened this post and it just elevated my spirit. Like you say, magnificent. I feel so pleased for them both.
Harry, too, is looking stylish and handsome. He and his wife look so good together.
Wow! Meghan radiates happiness and contentment! She looks stunning, and I love her dress!
Doria looks incredible, and how sweet is the photo of H with M and Doria?!
Congrats to Meghan for her years of advocacy for women and girls. And what a remarkable life Gloria Steinem has led!
Are royal copycats allowed to wear cut-outs? If not, someone is going to be big mad!
I too think she ought to wear all the stuff Kate cannot. Shorts, short dresses , cut outs , no everlasting tights, no jeans ..or was it the Queen who laid down the rules. Now she is gone it looks like Kate is free to imitate blindly . Brace yourself for an exposed skeleton. Meghan however can wear a sack and look radiant . She wears the look and not vice versa.
I just saw this news item about after this event that resulted a paperazzi
chase..there wasn’t a crash but a near miss.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/17/americas/harry-meghan-car-crash-intl/index.html
Is this true?
I saw it pop up on my news feed but didn’t have time to click. Going by the headline I saw, there was an intense chase. It’s appalling.
Meghan looks absolutely flawless. She just is radiant. And her speech was so lovely and heartfelt.
Kudos to Doria, who is stunning, too, for raising Meghan with the feminist conviction that women aren’t just meant to be ornamental.
If anyone could have skated on their looks alone, it’s Meghan and Doria — but that wasn’t enough for them; they’re women of substance, too. That’s something Kate never will grasp.
Wow!!!!! OK, let me go back and read the article & all the comments. I just looked at the first photo & wowzers!!!
Meghan looked absolutely stunning in that outfit. One of her best looks. They all did. I’m so glad she is getting recognized for her work. This mornings news was very sobering but so proud of Meghan.
How can anyone claim Harry is miserable? All the British body language “experts” will have to scramble to find some unhappiness in this man who – flanked by a devoted MIL and a loving, gorgeous wife – is looking like he is living large, uncomplicated, and joyful.
Beautiful. As is her mother. Stunning.
I am losing it over these photos! Revenge is dish best served in GOLD, baby! Eat your hearts out, Windsors, this is what you could have had!
She looks STUNNING!! She’s always so stylish and elegant. I know I shouldn’t compare, but Kate looks so NOT modern compared to Meg. Should we expect her to wear gold in the next few weeks??!!
Anyways Meghan -10 / Kate – 0
M looks terrific!
They all look very nice and a lovely photo.
Nice that Doria is there too.
That gold dress does remind me of those dresses that were made out of credit cards a few years back. Gold and Silver dresses are a tough look to pull off.
I can almost hear Elvis Costello singing “She” in those pictures (I unabashedly adore the movie Notting Hill and the photos remind me of one of the end scenes when Thacker, now married to Anna Scott, is accompanying her to her movie premieres and awards shows).
Meghan looks stunning – she’s absolutely radiant.
I normally don’t like cutouts, but I’m kinda okay with this one, because she looks AMAZEBALLS in it. Whoa!!
Crazy glamorous!!
Meghan’s dress is fitted to her like a glove. She looks ultra glamourous, and does the dress much greater justice than the models who all seemed to have pencil figures. Meghan looked especially stunning from the back because her booty fills the dress so beautifully.
Checked out the designer’s website and love, love the clothes. The dress Meghan is wearing is a major silhouette of one of the collections, but the dress that Meghan wore is not featured and there is no indication that it has sold out. Wonder if it’s from a collection from the previous year.
Or more likely, bespoke.
Flawless. Meghan is gorgeous beyond belief, and their love is beautiful. I love them and wish them health, happiness, peace, prosperity, and divine protection.
I actually gasped last night when the first photos made it to IG. She looked absolutely STUNNING, healthy and HAPPY!
A woman who can stand without slouching, smile without gawping, laugh without guffawing and not a jazz hand in sight.
Kate must be seething.
Iconic, gorgeous, outstanding. She is a goddess. So glad her mom was there, too. Outraged about the car chase. What precautions can they take about that?
She looks beautiful, and HOT! Love that for them.
My prediction: within the next 3 months, we’ll see Kate try to copy this gold dress. She’ll screw it up, it will look terrible on her, but by God, she MUST copy it at all costs.
Keen will add ruffles and or buttons and a wiglet to ruin the look.
If Meghan was trying to make a statement that she is thriving in her life, this certainly got the message across. She’s absolutely gorgeous. Her choice of dress is really magnificent. She glowed, and showeded how happy she is. Harry and Doria looked as happy as Meghan.
I can’t wait for her next award. I can’t imagine that she could better this, but this is Meghan so I wouldn’t bet against it.
Didn’t she just look so incredibly STUNNING in that dress and SO BEAUTIFUL! It made the coronation look like a frumpy pajama party! She didn’t slather herself in ‘royal’ jewlry. She kept it simple and elegant.
Absolutely beautiful. I will use Stevie Wonder’s ” Golden Lady” as an apt descriptive
Meghan’s eclectic taste includes the definite “less is more” category and is wonderful to behold.
A special mention to her mother and husband…..
I’m going to make a joke bc I need something light considering the horrifying events that would unfold a few hrs later.
We all know Harry has a bit of a jealous streak when it comes to Meghan. You think he realizes their body guard holds her around the waist like that? 😆
That photo of Doria, Harry and Meghan… that’s genuine happiness. Goals.
Yes they broke Twitter last night, they literally were all trending. I even got to read more about the designer of the beautiful dress Meghan wore 🙂. I’m pretty sure those people on the other side of the pond were pissed off. Hey- you guys were the ones that told her to go back to America. She did and she’s even more successful without being attached to the BRF. 😊
