Awful outfit. Nothing makes sense: colours, shape...Terrible hair.
Nothing makes sense? She's wearing colors of the Irish flag.

But she was in Northern Ireland and not Ireland. It's a BIG difference.
Correct me if I'm wrong but if I remember correctly, the flag of Northern Ireland is mostly white and red...so maybe IF the colours were chosen intentionally as an homage maybe it was a faux pas, too...
Regardless, to me, from the point of view of style, I see 4 different colours that don't go too well all together (skirt, top and coat, bag, shoes).
Nice to have a skirt and some color, a lovely green. The messy hair and hair touching still irks me and the coat is way too big and long. But quite an improvement, the cut of the skirt is very special.
I'm going to figure she was intending to represent the Flag of Ireland where she actually was today.

Here’s a close-up of the shoes for those wondering:

They are the Jimmy Choo Romy 100 velvet pumps.
I love this look, it's very fresh and informal without being sloppy at all. I don't mind the messy bun, she is able to carry that off. And whether the shoe color is a faux pas or not, I still love the shoes.
Well thanx for that Juliette you taught me something.Excuse me Pranter, but I think you need an explanation:
- Ireland is an island
- Politically, this island is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland) and Northern Ireland which is part of the United Kingdom.
- The colours of the flag of the REPUBLIC OF IRELAND are green, white, and orange
- The flag of NORTHERN IRELAND is the Union Jack (of course I know this Countessmeout...) but the Ulster Banner and the St. Patrick Saltire are sometimes used (colours RED and WHITE) - for instance in the uniforms of Northern Ireland's football team.
- Miss Markle today was in Belfast, which is Nothern Ireland's capital. I do hope she was aware of the difference.
If you need more information I suggest visiting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland
Excuse me if this post is OT, but I felt it was necessary.
As for her hair I may be reading this wrong but Meghan having messy hair has nothing to do with her race. As an African American female I can contest that I and others put time and effort into our hair so it looks good, and in the past Meghan has had good hair days.
I don't grasp how Meghan's race excuses her bad hair choices... perhaps I am just not comprehending what you are trying to say.
Her shoes looked very red in certain light...then more burnt reddish/orange in other light.
I'm going to figure she was intending to represent the Flag of Ireland where she actually was today.
Cream, green and red/burnt orange do go together. No it's not monochromatic and it's not brown or black (thank God)....but it does look well. She looks amazing walking across the room without the coat on (which I was not a fan of the coat).

@juliette I apologize for the confusion, I tend not to mention specific posts I am responding to. The post you quoted actually mentions 2 different topics brought up by 3 different people. That was my mistake I will try to do better next time.For XeniaCasaraghi: I'm not sure what you mean, but I NEVER EVER suggested that her race has anything to do with her messy hair (!). It would absolutely never enter my mind to even consider that and I'm honestly not sure where you read that in my posts. Maybe you are getting confused with someone else's?
I just think her hair looks unkempt and messy most of the times: homemade "buns" (excuse the pun!), strands flying everywhere, etc.
I think she looks good, the skirt and the shoes are lovely, and the messy bun softens her looks.
