DIOR DESIGNER SLAMS MEGHAN — PRAISES KATE FOR PERFECT BAR JACKET LOOK

Fashion drama in royal circles is heating up once again as a top DIOR designer reportedly criticized Meghan Markle for allegedly “ruining” their design during a Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot — while simultaneously praising Kate Middleton for nailing the iconic Bar Jacket look.
Sources close to the designer claim that Meghan’s styling and poses did not align with the creative vision intended for the shoot. “The look was elegant, precise, and modern — everything DIOR wanted to convey — but Meghan took it in a completely different direction,” one insider revealed. In contrast, Kate’s interpretation was described as “flawless, classic, and exactly what the designers had envisioned,” prompting high praise behind the scenes.

The alleged incident has reignited a longstanding debate over Meghan’s sartorial choices versus Kate’s more traditional royal style. Fashion commentators have weighed in, noting that while Kate often delivers polished, camera-ready looks that align perfectly with designers’ expectations, Meghan sometimes experiments with bolder or unconventional choices — a move that can divide opinion among fans and insiders alike.
Social media is abuzz with reactions. Some fans defended Meghan, applauding her for putting her own stamp on the outfit and for daring to break from royal convention. Others, however, sided with the designer, arguing that Meghan’s styling choices disrupted the elegance of the Bar Jacket and failed to capture the sophistication that Kate consistently brings to royal engagements.
One fashion analyst commented: “Kate’s ability to embody the designer’s vision while maintaining her personal style is unmatched. Meghan has her own sense of fashion, but sometimes it clashes with the intended look. That’s the crux of the criticism.”
The Harper’s Bazaar shoot in question is said to have been a high-profile project, intended to showcase DIOR’s craftsmanship and royal elegance. Insiders claim that tensions were minor behind the scenes, but the story leaked online, sparking heated discussion among fashion aficionados and royal watchers alike.

This isn’t the first time Meghan’s fashion choices have been compared to Kate’s. From formal events to casual outings, the public and media have frequently pitted the two royal women against each other in a battle of elegance versus individuality. The latest designer comments only add fuel to the fire, reminding fans that royal fashion will always be under intense scrutiny.
Whether Meghan’s style will ever fully align with designer expectations remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: every outfit she wears is now dissected and debated online within minutes. Meanwhile, Kate continues to receive accolades for her consistency, grace, and ability to bring classic designs to life with her signature poise.
For Meghan, the challenge remains balancing personal expression with the expectations that come with being a public royal figure. For Kate, it seems the formula of elegance and adherence to the designer’s vision continues to win the day.
As royal fashion watchers eagerly await Meghan’s next public appearance, the comparison with Kate — and the designer’s pointed remarks — ensure that this debate is far from over.
