Markle arrived at the event with her tresses elegantly cascading over her toned shoulders, which were accented by the same strappy red Carolina Herrera gown she previously worn, but without the spectacular train.

Fans were unimpressed when she appeared alongside Prince Harry at the Salute to Freedom Gala in New York in 2021, wearing the vibrant red gown with a daring neckline.

“This is pretty bad, but at least she recycles,” says one netizen. A second person explains why Markle reused the dress: “Clearly she is out of money. She can no longer afford new clothing. She had previously worn this outfit with a large skirt.We criticized it then, and we still criticize it now.”

Many people ignored the reappearance of the garment and instead criticized her style, claiming that the gown was too dangerous for a children’s event.

Meanwhile, some believe Markle staged an appearance to get media attention.

“She was only there to support herself, trying to look relevant,” says one admirer, while another adds, “She doesn’t care, [it’s] all about publicity.”

Another observes: “She didn’t come to a charity children’s event, as always for the paparazzi.”

But not everyone was criticizing the duchess.

Others stated she “is such a natural beauty” and looked “absolutely stunning.”
