To celebrate International Day of the Girl, The Duchess of Sussex visited Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara, where she participated in fun activities with the girls.
On October 2, 2024, Meghan Markle joined a group of joyful girls to craft friendship bracelets, color, and discuss their online experiences. While the fun pictures were shared online, many people focused on her outfit, noting it was elegant yet wrinkly.
This inspiring event was organized in a partnership between Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara and #HalfTheStory. It coincided with the announcement of financial donations from The Archewell Foundation, Pivotal Ventures, and the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation to support a collaboration between Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara and #HalfTheStory.
According to #HalfThe Story, “As part of our partnership, we’re launching a program with pre-teens to help them confidently navigate the digital world. We’re teaching girls how to thrive online with real stories and empowerment.”
Dreams come true. ??

The founder of #HalfTheStory, Larissa May, was excited to host Meghan. She wrote on X, ” Dreams come true. ??For all the girls out there, if a girl from the Midwest can do this, you can too.”
Her post was accompanied by a picture of herself posing with Meghan as well as another woman. This photo was shared online by several people who commented on Meghan’s outfit.
The Duchess was in white Anine Bing’s Carrie Trousers and a blue Marie Marot X J. Crew shirt with white collars. She styled her look with a brown belt and beige closed heels with her brunette hair let down.
A user made a post on Meghan’s appearance, stating, “#MeghanMarkle cannot help herself, can she? This was obviously all part of a planned PR Blitz ??♀️. Recycling old looks to give nods to old works… please…someone intervene.” They compared her current outfit to a previous occassion, noting that she appeared to have re-worn her trousers.
People commented on this post with one person pointing out the “Wrinkles” on the trousers. Another user questioned, “Has she got those pants on backwards? Dreadful look.” A third chimed in, describing the trousers as a “Wrinkled sloppy mess as usual.”
