Dress Is Not Appropriate’: Users Slam Meghan Markle, 43, for Wearing ‘Ill Fitting’ Dress at Children’s Hospital Gala

The 43-year-old royal turned heads at a children’s charity gala, but it didn’t take long for photos of her outfit to spark debate online, with one commenter claiming she was “half naked [sic].”

Meghan Markle attended the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala on October 5, wearing a striking red gown with a deep plunging neckline and thin straps. Her appearance sparked mixed reactions online.

The “Suits” alum’s form-fitting dress, paired with matching red open-toe heels, was completed with soft waves in her hair and minimal makeup, emphasizing her natural beauty.

Meghan was one of many high-profile attendees at the prestigious event, which aimed to raise funds and honor the hospital’s patients and caregivers. Among those present were philanthropists Francis and Ella Nelson, along with other notable guests who gathered to support the cause.

During the event, Meghan took the opportunity to highlight the incredible work done by the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. In a recent interview, she expressed admiration for the hospital’s services.
Oh my goodness, the work that they do at Children’s Hospital L.A. is otherworldy, and I think from my standpoint as a mother, no one wants to have to be in a position where you need to go to a place like this, but if you have to, the best place in the world you could go would be Children’s Hospital L.A.,” she said

Another expressed discontent, “The dress is not appropriate for that event. And she looks sick. Dress like a duchess.” Others found the dress ill-suited for the event, with one user remarking, “Ill fitting [sic] dress. This is wayyyyy [sic] off for a children’s gala. She should definitely hire a stylist.”

Despite the criticism, Meghan’s supporters quickly came to her defense, praising her style and presence. “There’s nothing inappropriate about that dress people, relax. It’s a charity gala, not a charity family picnic,” a fan retorted.
