Meghan Markle's appearance as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia has backfired, with fans and commentators noting that she was upstaged by fellow judge Sofia Levin, whose outfit bore a striking resemblance to the classic style of Princess Catherine. The Duchess of Sussex, who appeared in a black skirt with a slit and a silk blouse, was overshadowed by Levin's regal white floral co-ord set, complete with a high collar and gold accessories.
MasterChef Australia Promo Sparks Comparisons
The promo shots for the show, released this week, show Meghan in a black skirt slit to just above the knee, a matching silk blouse with two buttons leaving a triangle of skin, black heels, and curled brunette waves. In contrast, Sofia Levin wore a white co-ord set comprising a floor-length skirt and a boxy vest top decorated with colourful flowers, paired with gold heels and waterfall earrings. The look is reminiscent of Princess Catherine's well-documented love for florals and high collars, often seen in blue and pink floral gowns.
Fashion Expert Weighs In
Showbiz editor Jess Phillips commented, "It looks as though the outfits were carefully coordinated to clash with each other, and Levin’s appearing so much more befitting of a royal isn’t lost on me." Phillips noted that everything from Levin's clasped hands to Meghan's interlaced fingers suggests the Duchess is out of her depth in ditching her Hollywood style.
Public Reaction and Future Royal Visit
Fans are predicting the MasterChef Australia Meghan special will be a flop, similar to the Netflix failure With Love, Meghan. Meanwhile, Meghan is reportedly refusing public appearances while in the UK with Prince Harry and their children, sparking curiosity about what she will wear to meet King Charles and Queen Camilla.
