‘She doesn’t feel entirely at ease’
Speaking to Royal Insider, body language expert Inbaal Honigman said on behalf of OLBG: “Meghan’s demeanour during her Paris Fashion Week appearances is a mix of awkwardness and defiance.
“When she shows appreciation to Balenciaga designer Piccioli with a cheek-to-cheek kiss, their wires are crossed and they don’t pull their heads back, resulting in an unfortunate close-up contact of their faces.
“The designer giggles but Meghan’s smile seems frozen, as if she’s cringing at the mistake on the inside. When they pose for some pics together, her cheeks are sucked in and her eyes are lowered, she feels slightly uncomfortable.
“When posing for photos alone, Meghan’s chin juts forward, defiantly. She doesn’t feel entirely at ease, but she is determined to brave it through.”
Meghan’s outfit marks ‘departure from traditional royal looks’
Meanwhile, fashion expert Lauren Bulla added of Meghan’s look: “This monochromatic ensemble feels like a tribute to expert craftsmanship and modern silhouettes, two hallmarks of Meghan’s approach to style.
“While it marks a departure from more traditional royal looks, the outfit remains characteristically neutral and understated. It reflects the evolving spirit of the fashion industry – something Meghan consistently keeps pace with – whilst remaining refined, compelling, and true to the subtle evolution of her personal aesthetic over the years.”
