Meghan Markle’s surprise appearance at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala created quite a buzz, with reactions ranging from praise to criticism. Dressed in a bold red gown, the Duchess of Sussex turned heads, but her choice of attire sparked debate. While many commended her for supporting a charitable cause, others argued that the outfit was “unsuitable” for the event.
Meghan made an unexpected entrance at the annual Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala, catching everyone by surprise. The gala, which draws high-profile attendees to support pediatric healthcare, became even more talked about when Meghan arrived unannounced. Wearing a bold red halter-neck gown, she instantly captivated the room and turned heads with her striking presence.
Meghan’s outfit quickly stole the spotlight, though reactions weren’t solely about the fashion. While many fans praised her bold choice and admired her confidence, fashion critics were divided. Some viewed the striking gown as a powerful style statement, embodying her signature blend of elegance and modernity.
One critic remarked, “I wonder if she looks at herself in the mirror before she goes out? That dress just doesn’t look good on her!” Another added, “Yes, what a appropriate dress for a children’s function.” Additional comments included, “This is what you wear to a Children’s Hospital?” and “What’s she’s wearing for children’s event? Embarrassing…”
This is not the first time Meghan Markle has faced criticism for wearing inappropriate and overly revealing outfits. Recently, Meghan and Prince Harry visited Nigeria as part of the Invictus Games Anniversary celebrations. During this visit, Meghan’s choice of attire once again sparked controversy. Many deemed her dresses “revealing” and considered them inappropriate for the occasion.
Meghan also faced backlash for referring to Nigeria as “her country” after revealing she is 43% Nigerian. Critics pointed out the stark contrast between the Duchess’s lavish spending on attire and accessories and the country’s poverty, where over 112 million people live below the poverty line. This further fueled the controversy surrounding her visit.
Indeed, fans of the royal family often have plenty to say about Meghan’s looks. During her latest tour, people shared controversial comments regarding her choice of dresses. “I thought she hired a stylist? Inappropriate dress where the culture is modesty and especially to meet school children,” remarked one individual.
Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman also recently captured attention with her bold red carpet appearance, donning a daring dress that accentuated her cleavage. Some critics contended that the 57-year-old actress might be “too old” for such revealing outfits.
Michael Jackson’s only daughter Paris proud of African-American roots, identifies as black
Paris Jackson, the only daughter of late pop star Michael Jackson, opened up about her African-American roots and how proud she is of that, as well as the criticism she received.
Paris, 25, was born to parents Billie Jean hitmaker and Debbie Rowe in 1998.
Over the years, there have been speculations that Jackson wasn’t the biological father of his three children, Paris and her two brothers, Bigi, 22, and Prince, 27. This was due to the fact that that many couldn’t see any resemblance between the late star and the kids, especially Paris who has white skin, light eyes and now bleached-blond hair.
The kids were very close with their father who went to great lengths to protect them from media scrutiny. His measures were unlike, however. He would show his son Bigi to the public with his face covered with a blanket, causing him troubles while growing up because his friends often teased him. He now prefers to be called Bigi.
Following the star’s death in 2009, his children were tossed alone in the public eye, turning them a highly profitable prey for the media that were eager to share their photos and followed their every step.
This experience left Paris battling a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
“I experience audio hallucinations, sometimes, with camera clicks and severe paranoia and have been going to therapy for a lot of things, but that included,” she shared.

By age 15, Paris attempted suicide “multiple times” and in 2019 she was admitted at a treatment facility. “It was just self-hatred…Low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn’t do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore.”
Today, she’s a successful musician who follows into her father’s footsteps. Over the years, she has also walked the runway for famous brands such as Chanel. Paris is a member of the band The Soundflowers.
“Everyone in my family does music. I mean, I’m a Jackson,” she said in 2020. “It makes sense that I’m a musician but like, a Jackson doing folk indie?”
Paris is very close to her brothers and looks up to Prince. “He’s everything to me, you know?” In 2020, she told People of her relationship with her older brother. “I’ve always looked up to him and always wanted his approval and everything, and wanted to be more like him.”
He loves and supports his younger sister as much. “Basically, as a person, she is who my dad is. The only thing that’s different would be her age and her gender,” he said of Paris, adding that she’s similar to her father “in all of her strengths, and almost all of her weaknesses as well. She’s very passionate.”
The physical appearance of the King of Pop underwent significant changes over the course of his life and many accused him of bleaching his skin, which was considerably darker in his younger days, but he claimed he had never done anything to his skin and that it turning white was a result of Vitiligo, during an Oprah interview in 1993.
“I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am,” Jackson told Winfrey at the time.
Back in 2017, speaking of herself, Paris told Rolling Stone magazine she “considers [herself] black,” and that “[Michael] would look me in the eyes and he’d point his finger at me and he’d be like, ‘You’re black. Be proud of your roots.’”
“Most people that don’t know me call me white. I’ve got light skin and, especially since I’ve had my hair blond, I look like I was born in Finland or something,” she said. “And I’d be like, ‘okay, he’s my dad, why would he lie to me?’ So I just believe what he told me. [Because], to my knowledge, he’s never lied to me.”
This declaration of race triggered criticism on Paris. Among the rest, it was host Wendy William’s that mocked Paris’ statement.
“I get that she considers herself black and everything, but I’m just talking about the visual because you know…black is not what you call yourself, it’s what the cops see you when they got steel to your neck on the turnpike.”
She added: “It’s what they see. But that’s cute and good for her.”
