Posse Found Her Furious as Meghan’s Awful Striped Dress Causes 56% Drop in Sales

Meghan Markle's Fashion Faux Pas Leaves Luxury Brands in Disarray

In a recent appearance, Meghan Markle has once again raised eyebrows with her questionable fashion choices, leaving luxury brands feeling the brunt of her lack of style.

This time, it was Australian fashion brand Posse that fell victim to her sartorial misstep.

Meghan donned a $240 black and white column style maxi dress from Posse, which, according to the label, was designed to accentuate every curve with its stretched jersey fabric.

Completing the ensemble, she opted for a pair of flat black sandals and carried a $428 funky beaded wooden clutch from Colt Gear during her outing at Trelune Restaurant on Tuesday night.

However, instead of garnering praise, Meghan faced a barrage of criticism on social media for her outfit choice.

Many deemed the dress and accessories as unflattering and even downright ugly.

One comment went as far as saying, “This dress is so ugly it even looks ugly on the professional model.”

The public couldn't help but compare Meghan's current style to her past regal appearances, highlighting the stark contrast in price tags and overall elegance.

It seems that Meghan's fashion sense has taken a nosedive since her days of $50,000 engagement dresses and $100,000 designer tents.

Adding fuel to the fire, Posse didn't even feature Meghan on their Instagram page, opting instead to post a picture of someone else wearing stripes.

While some speculated that Posse purposely avoided associating themselves with Meghan's outfit, others pointed out that the brand had responded to a comment about restocking the dress a week prior to her wearing it.

Regardless, insiders claim that Meghan's poor styling of the dress has led to a staggering 56% decrease in sales, with numerous orders being canceled.

The negative impact on Posse's reputation can be attributed to the widespread circulation of photos and articles featuring Meghan in their dress.

Despite the brand not actively using her image for advertising, social media users were quick to criticize the dress's ankle-length, suggesting it was more suitable for a day at the beach rather than an elegant evening at a fancy restaurant.

Critics also questioned Meghan's frequent choice of strapless dresses, speculating on whether she believes they flatter her neckline or shoulder line.

These observations sparked conversations about her fashion choices and their potential impact on the brand's perception.

While some suggested that Meghan could have opted for a simpler and more appropriate dress for the occasion, others raised concerns about her fashion sense and ability to choose the right size for her outfits.

Additionally, the absence of any famous friends in the birthday dinner photos raised speculations about Meghan's standing within Hollywood.

It is evident that Meghan's public appearances hold significant sway over consumer behavior, as demonstrated by the substantial drop in sales experienced by Posse following her restaurant outing.

Daniel Mullum, the founder of Posse, refrained from using Meghan's image for marketing purposes.

However, the media coverage and public scrutiny surrounding her fashion choices still had a profound impact on the brand.

In stark contrast, the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, has consistently been hailed as a fashion icon.

Her impeccable style, from her pre-marriage civilian attire to her stunning Alexander McQueen wedding gown, has led to the “Kate effect” in retail, where items she wears tend to sell out quickly.

Catherine's fashion choices have evolved over time, solidifying her status as a true fashionista and inspiring women to replicate her billion-pound looks.

In comparison, Meghan's fashion choices pale in comparison to Catherine's.
