On March 19, 2026, the Duchess of Sussex attended the 34th Annual Champions for Children Gala, hosted by the Alliance for Children’s Rights, at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. During the ceremony, the Duchess presented the Francis M. Wheat Community Service Award to Kelly McKee Zajfen, co-founder of Alliance of Moms.
The Alliance for Children’s Rights is a nonprofit legal services organization that protects the rights of impoverished, abused, and neglected children in Los Angeles County. The event raised more than $1.4 million to support the Alliance’s free legal aid and advocacy for young people in foster care. For the occasion, the Duchess of Sussex wore a silk gown by Ralph Lauren.

Epoustouflante Meghan dans cette robe de soie tant au niveau du style que de la couleur !
ردحذفSimple, chic, beautiful. If you’re a hater, you will not like it no doubt.
ردحذف14:40. Sad but true.
حذفI agree - Meghan at her best in simple, beautifully tailored and minimal jewellery . Loved seeing her present a prize/award to one of her closest friends. LRB
حذفNot really necessary to try to disqualify people with different opinions, or is it really so necessary for you? Well then do it, but it says more about you than about others. - Bare shoulders inappropriate or not inappropriate (because most people are clearly dressed down) - solid fact is that this gown is too tight, look at pic 4.
حذفAgreed with Anon 14:40
حذفI’m not a “hater” but I don’t think this dress suits her. I don’t need a diminishing label to state my differing opinion. I feel she would look better in a dress which includes shoulders and is softer. This is quite harsh on her and makes her face look harsh.
حذفAgree with 04.22!
حذفI’m not a fan of Meghan’s at all which would definitely land me with the haters crowd. However, I really like this dress. I don’t think she looks out of place since there seems to be a wide range of styles at the dinner. And she’s got great shoulders. If my shoulders looked that good, I’d show them off too!!
حذفLovely dress in her signature style of bare shoulders. All the ladies are nicely dressed.
ردحذفEvening gown with bare shoulders does not seem to be part of the dress code here, simple suits or just jackets and no tie at all on the gentlemen - so probably there was no dress code at all: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWIAFWUoBNq/ . So the signature bare shoulders on display are overdone (as was the pregnant-belly-tapping on the body of her friend in front of all cameras.
ردحذفBare shoulders are a big deal? Your opinion. Not to me. Belly tapping. I saw a belly rub of someone she's known for 20 years that lost a child and is now expecting. I don't know her but was surprised and happy.
حذفLet me start by saying I am not a hater. She always bares her shoulders, be it strapless or halter top, skin tight, plain neutral colours,that is her go to, that is what she likes. I am not a fan of this look, as I like a pop of colour and more movement in the fabric.
حذفAs anonymous 14.40 pointed out the haters will hate it. She has done nothing wrong and others were dressed in similar styles. She is always touchy feely - it’s her way. LRB
حذفWell Meghan has lovely shoulders that she can
حذفMeghan has lovely shoulders she can bare in strapless, sleeveless, halter, or spaghetti. Her shoulders.
حذف@00:27, "her shoulders". Of course, do you think this is news? Her shoulder, her style, and our quite diverse opinions about it. We usually don't try to declare bulging connective tissue in a too tight dress as nonexistent in this blog. So please stop hating those who you, baselessly, call "haters". Just be tolerant.
حذفQuelle belle femme, toujours chic et élégante.
ردحذفMARIE
Ravissante comme d'habitude
ردحذفFroufrou
She looked lovely. Nice dress, beautiful smile, with an old friend for a good cause.
ردحذفMeghan looks lovely. Simple and chic, and the dress fits her like a glove. Glad to see her supporting this non-profit org.
ردحذف- Anon 9:13
Dress is nice but s dull color. She seems to like neutrals though.
ردحذفMeghan, return to United Kingdom with your family!
ردحذفThey have already shown her how she will be treated
حذفDistraction from facts is very much required.
حذفEpstein was a friend of Prince Andrew and guest at Buckingham Palace.
I want to like this look, but the fabric has no give whatsoever, I don't find this attractive. I realise the style of this dress, but more give, would imo enhance of the overall look.
ردحذفI would have loved to see the Duchess in a different style of gown, we have seen many of near identical styles from the Duchess. I do like the Navy color of this gown.
I appreciate this is her style preference, but it gets rather bland and boring repetitively. Some color? her hair on this occasion I don't like looking ungroomed, again I understand that's her preference. This style.
The model pictured wearing this gown imo looks successful. She appears taller, the gown is longer, just looks more elegant, with her height she can get away with this. The bodice at the top of her breast line fits better, Meghan's appears to have a slight bulge of skin, above the elastic top, no criticism whatsoever, pure observations. The model is wearing colorful longer earrings that look divine, that splash of color.
What does appeal to me is the lady in the 1st photo, 2nd from right, she appears to dress with maybe the dress code possibly, I could be wrong, but this outfit looks stylish. Her pants, jacket and darker shade top/jumper? fit beautifully, elegant. She looks so chic and classy. Hair and makeup on point.
Predictable.
حذفMany women have been out lately ungroomed because the tendrils are still popular 300 years and counting.
حذفMeghan is beautiful I like to see her out. I find her style stylish and sleek. To each her or his own. Dresses and pants suits don't really say strict dress code. Everyone is simply dressed.The pantsuit is good but the fit isn't to my taste but she looks great. They all do to me. Congratulations to her friend and the event was successful. Yay!
حذفThis could be an elegant dress if it was not too tight and not only across her tummy. She is spilling out of it on pics 2, 4 and 5 (next to the model-pic). It takes extreme fandom to want to overlook it.
ردحذفExtreme? Many women would be cursing themselves if they thought that.
حذفYes it’s not a good fit for her. She has money to spend on beautigul gowns but seems to like this styling which doesn’t suit her. Spilling out of a dress when you don’t have much body fat is simply the wrong choice for the body. I also find that navy is harsh on her face. I’m not a hater by the way, I’m just seeing a poorly chosen gown.
حذفMeghan is looking very beautiful.
ردحذفNo matter the outfit good supportive under garments are needed. This RL dress due to its design is unforgiving. As slim as she is, something around the stomach and back just to smooth out any ‘rough edges’ would have given her a far more polished look.
ردحذفLowri.
Just read over these comments once again. You will finde (1) those who like Meghan's outfit and they get no critic or "hate" at all after their comments and (2) those who don't like and criticise it. The latter get immediate rebuke, even preemptively, before anyone wrote anything critical. - Now you decide, who are the active "haters" here :-)
ردحذفCompletly understand you, anon 11.01
حذف100% 11:01!
حذفShe is really beautiful.
ردحذف@21:56 - completely agree. It simply does not fit. It is a tube of material with neither shape or style in a `dull` navy, certainly no praiseworthy tailoring.
ردحذفAnon 17.48 I saw a photo elsewhere of the back view of Meghans gown, I was shocked how tight it was from the back view. Especially across the back of her hip area and further down. The top half flesh was hanging over from under her armpits and across her back. It must have been really very uncomfortable to wear. It looked terrible.
حذفMaybe just she ate too much of her jam ! Belly overhang needs a spanx body
ردحذف😆😆😆😆
حذفGiven even The Telegraph called it a “stunning look” (and if you subscribe to the Telegraph, you’ll know exactly why I make this point) - I think we can agree she looks elegant and sophisticated.
ردحذفYes, I know, lots of people think (or more accurately, buy into the media-driven scenario that says Meghan is at fault for all the troubles the British royals find themselves in. Everyone else (oddly including Andrew and Fergie, seriously??) is beyond reproach. All their hate is directed towards the brown American actress who wronged everyone. Except… how fabricated is that?!
Interestingly, Tatler (“coincidentally?”) published a story about Diana at 60, and this one written by someone who actually met her and understood her. Should help the haters tone down their comments unless they’re “married” to their own opinions). Have a read, this one is free.

@21:13 - recognize bulging and tightness where there is bulging and tightness without reading any newspapers and also without hating persons I do not know. Meghan's very own Instagram shows where the gown fails. And please if you could stop calling nonagreement "hate", that would be estimated in the name of decent commenting.
