‘Why Is She Wearing Pajamas?’: Users React to Meghan Markle’s Stained Brown Outfit on Colombia Trip

Meghan Markle’s discolored brown ensemble, worn for an online safety panel on the third day of her Colombia visit, sparked widespread criticism from fans.

The Duchess of Sussex has displayed her exquisite style in Colombia with vibrant dresses and tailored suits. However, she’s also had a few misses, with fans comparing her recent outfit to pajamas.

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex are on a four-day trip in Colombia that started on August 15, 2024. The couple has been looking incredible in their chosen outfits.

Some of Meghan’s outfits have combined the country’s vibrant fashion with the business-like formality of her official state visit. On August 18, 2024, the Duchess wore a pumpkin spice tone silk shirt by Victoria Beckham.

This time, she styled the silk shirt differently. She embraced a monochromatic palette and slipped into a pair of silky Colby Pants by La Ligne, whose official shade name is Spice.

Meghan Markle rounded up her coordinated palette with brown heels, known as Divine Sandals from Aquazzura. The Duchess accessorized with a Cartier Juste Un Clou necklace and earrings, while her dark locks were neatly styled in a ponytail.

Though she looked magnificent, Meghan’s outfit quickly sparked reactions online from those who noticed a few flaws. Some pointed out that the material may not have been the best choice, drawing attention to noticeable sweat stains.

One person said, “Eewww..Meghan has sweaty fanny stains.” Another fan questioned, “Why is she wearing pajamas?” Someone else remarked at Meghan’s appearance, “Poor @victoriabeckham I bet she didn’t know Meghan was going to sweat all over her clothes. 😳”

An individual also pointed out marks on her clothes “The sweat stains 😂.” Another user wondered, “Why is she wearing that material? No way!“ One more person commented on the Duchess’s outlook, “She looked ok until she stood up. The fabric caused her to sweat.“

An online user observed, “It looks like she has PJs on!“ However, not all feedback was negative. One person complimented, “Meghan’s always looks gorgeous in chocolate brown. 💞“

An individual shared their opinion, “Will cut Meghan some slack and say that she looked OK at that panel. My eye is twitching only because her trousers and blouse look like the same color but they’re not – so together they look a bit strange.“

Despite the critical reactions to her outfit, Meghan appeared undeterred, fully engaged in her visit to Colombia. She and Prince Harry were discussing online safety during a “Responsible Digital Future” event in Bogotá.

The couple has been busy visiting schools, attending cultural events, and speaking on a cause close to their heart, digital safety for children.

Their visit aims to spotlight and tackle various social issues. As we previously reported, the Sussexes made a stylish entrance in matching navy suits on their first day in Colombia, charming students and sparking a buzz of mixed reactions.

The couple were warmly received by Vice President Francia Márquez, who organized their four-day visit. The official page of the President of Colombia posted about their visit online, writing, “We give you a big welcome to the Land of Beauty. 🇨🇴.”

Upon their arrival, the Duchess presented the Vice President and her partner, Rafael Yerney Pinillo, with a personal gift. During their conversation, Francia expressed her personal admiration for Harry’s mother, the late Princess Diana.

The four then enjoyed an intimate tea and coffee hour at the Vice President’s residence before the royals embarked on a busy day of engagements. Their trip will include school visits, panels, cultural performances, and more.

Harry and Meghan opted for a chic look for their first day of events in Colombia. Meghan chose a navy Veronica Beard waistcoat, named the Orlinda Vest, which has a halter neckline and shell-patterned buttons. She paired it with matching cropped trousers, known as Arte Pant.

The former “Suits” actress also accessorized with Pippa Small 18kt Gold kyanite classic studs. She added on a Lorraine Schwartz 18-karat white gold, topaz, and diamond bracelet, and a gold Cartier Tank Française watch.

Meghan then accentuated her appearance with a Loro Piana handbag made from calfskin and black suede Manolo Blahnik pointed-toe pumps. She looked stunning with her dark tresses styled in a sleek updo, complemented by brown eye shadow and a glossy lip.

Harry matched Meghan in a navy blue herringbone Super 150’s wool Brunico suit, which features notch lapels, two buttons, flap pockets, and two back vents. He completed the look with a light blue button-down shirt.

Online opinions on Harry and Meghan’s outfits varied widely. Some viewers were critical, with one remarking, “Makes her look dumpy!”

One person declared, “The outfit Duchess Grin-a-Lot is wearing is absolutely awful. Tacky beyond words!” There was also confusion over details, as one comment questioned, “Why that last button a different color?”

However, not all feedback was negative. Many praised the couple’s style, with comments like, “Looking amazing! So chic! 😍❤️🇨🇴.” Another user added, “She looks stunning! Love the outfits.”

Enthusiastic admirers couldn’t contain their excitement, with one person exclaiming, “Just look at them… my goodness… STUNNING 😍🔥🥰❤️💃🏽❤️❤️❤️.”

Meanwhile, some expressed concern about their family life, questioning, “Didn’t Archi start kindergarten yesterday? What kind of mother leaver her children for a trip?” Another person wondered, “Where are their children? The quiet life. 😭”

Harry and Meghan are concentrating on their busy schedule in Colombia. On their first day, they attended a theater performance in the early afternoon. They later enjoyed a musical and dance performance at the Plaza del Carnaval y la Cultura in San Juan de Pasto.

Following these cultural events, they participated in a summit focused on internet safety, a cause close to their hearts. Francia shared her belief that she and the Sussexes have common ideals and goals.

She spoke of their mutual advocacy for a safer digital environment and better mental health support for children and the global community.

Harry and Meghan have created a resource for themselves and other parents seeking support. This initiative, known as “The Parents’ Network,” is associated with their charitable Archewell Foundation and was officially launched in August 2024.

Meghan said, “Our kids are young; they’re three and five. They’re amazing. But all you want to do as parents is protect them.” She added that, given what’s happening online, they recognize there’s still much work to be done and are grateful to contribute to positive change.

She has emphasized the need to approach internet safety from a personal perspective. “What if it was my daughter? What if it was my son?” she asked.

Meghan, who is a mom of two, suggested viewing the issue through the lens of a parent. She noted that imagining how devastating it would be if their child’s life were altered by something beyond their control, can drive the urgency to find solutions.
