Meghan Markle caused a stir at SXSW, with her attire sparking a flurry of opinions online. Despite the significant topics she discussed, including women’s representation in media, focus shifted to her clothing. Critics likened her ensemble to bedsheets, igniting a debate over its appropriateness. Some even unfavorably compared her to Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales. However, amidst the criticism, there was also a wave of support, praising her style and demeanor. Meghan’s outfit, crafted by Giuliva Heritage, showcased luxury and sustainability but failed to unify public opinion. Despite the attire controversy, her panel discussion shed light on pressing issues, including social media toxicity and women’s rights. Supported by Prince Harry, Meghan continues to advocate for kindness and empathy, drawing from her own experiences with online abuse and societal expectations.
