Meghan Markle Faces Criticism Over “Revealing” Gown at Children’s Charity Gala

Instead of receiving praise for her support of children’s healthcare, Meghan Markle is facing backlash over her choice of attire at a recent children’s charity gala.

As Prince Harry addressed the HIV/AIDS crisis in South Africa, Markle made a surprise solo appearance at the 2024 Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Gala. The event, which raises funds for pediatric care, was hosted by actor Jon Cryer and TV personality Lisa Joyner, and honored guests like producer Chuck Lorre and former boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard.

Markle, who has a long-standing connection with CHLA, was invited as a special guest and expressed her admiration for the hospital’s work in a social media interview. She described CHLA as “the best place in the world” for children needing medical care. She walked the red carpet with her friend Kelly McKee Zafjen, who later shared her gratitude for Markle’s ongoing support on Instagram.

However, many online critics focused on Markle’s red Carolina Herrera gown, which she had previously worn to the 2021 Salute to Freedom Gala in New York. Her bold choice for the gala, with its strappy design and daring neckline, drew mixed reactions.

Critics questioned the appropriateness of the dress for a children’s event, with comments like “Super inappropriate for this event” and “Why is she half naked at every opportunity?” Others speculated about her motivation, suggesting she attended for media attention.

Despite the criticism, some fans praised Markle’s appearance, calling her a “natural beauty” and “absolutely stunning.” One fan defended her by saying, “She could save children from a burning building, and certain people would still find fault.”
