Meghan Markle is unquestionably a style icon, both before and after her royal family membership. Her flawless sense of style, which flawlessly combines sophistication and flair, never fails to impress.
But not everyone has been fond of her looks, and her most recent trip to Colombia with Prince Harry caused some controversy.
Meghan’s navy blue Veronica Beard waistcoat set during their tour was criticized by some for being too garish and out of place for an official function.
Critics said she was attempting to imitate the late royal’s manner by “cosplaying” as Princess Diana. To be fair, though, Meghan has never said that she is channeling Diana, and if she had, Diana most likely wouldn’t have objected.

After all, Meghan is expressing herself through fashion, which is all about self-expression.
