Meghan Markle criticized for her outfit at Children's Hospital Los Angeles gala

Meghan Markle attended the Children's Hospital Los Angeles Gala, which was held on October 5 at the JW Marriott LA Live.

At the event, the Duchess of Sussex appeared in a red Carolina Herrera dress, which she had already worn in 2021 at the gala concert in New York on the occasion of Veterans Day in the United States. This time, her look was complemented by heeled sandals in the same tone, a gold bracelet and several rings. Meghan left her hair loose.

The Duchess's look sparked heated debate online. Many internet users thought Meghan looked gorgeous, but some thought that such a bright dress with a deep neckline was not quite the right outfit for a charity event and a meeting with children who are patients at the clinic. "I expected to see a more modest dress for a charity event. This is not a nightclub party," wrote one netizen, and many agreed.

The public also noticed that Megan appeared in public without her husband, Prince Harry. Recently, information appeared online that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to build their personal brands independently of each other, because this way they will be able to earn more. Whether this is true or not, the couple has really started to appear in public alone more often.

Recently, the British Royal Family publicly congratulated Prince Harry on his birthday for the first time in three years. On the occasion of the Duke of Sussex's 40th birthday, Buckingham Palace published his official photograph. Notably, Meghan Markle was initially present in that picture, so it resulted in a small scandal - the British monarchs were accused of intentionally cropping the frame.
