- Meghan Markle's latest outfit is dividing the internet.
- She recently wore a white Oscar de la Renta dress with a flowing fit and bright blue floral design.
- Some people thought it was "gorgeous" and an "unusual" choice.
- Others found it "ill-fitting" and "too big."
Meghan Markle is quickly establishing herself as one of the most stylish members of the royal family. Like Kate Middleton, she always dazzles with her signature style, though that amount of influence also comes with some criticism.
Unsurprisingly, people on the internet are picking apart the latest outfit Markle was spotted wearing in public: a white $5,490 Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress featuring a bright blue floral pattern.
The Daily Mail shared a video of Markle's ensemble, which she wore to the wedding of Princess Diana's niece Celia McCorquodale on Saturday, and completed with a white fascinator and stilettos that briefly got stuck in the grass. Harry was at her side wearing a blue tie that matched perfectly with her dress.
The flowing and loose fit of her dress was a bit of a change for the Duchess of Sussex, who usually opts for more form-fitting designs.
When Twitter account Meghan Markle Daily tweeted a look at the dress, the reactions were mixed. Some people had a positive response to the outfit, finding it "gorgeous" yet "unusual" at the same time.
Gorgeous dress, a stylish note.

Of course, the inevitable criticism also came pouring in. Some found it "too big" and "ill-fitting," while others thought it was "too casual" for a such a formal wedding.
I love her but the dress is too big..😕

This "off the peg" Oscar de la Renta dress is NOT supposed to be form fitting, BUT with this stated, this dress is NOT appropriate for a high society British wedding. It is much too casual. British high society have certain mores, including wedding look.

This dress is hiding her figure.

The comments mirror the criticism Markle faced for the fit of her Givenchy wedding dress, of which Katy Perry and designer Emilia Wickstead were not fans.
Though she isn't guaranteed to please everyone with every outfit, Markle is making it clear that her style is exciting, unique, and anything but predictable.
