Meghan Markle Mocked By Fans After They Noticed a Minor Detail During Her Latest Outing
Meghan Markle drew online attention during her latest appearance at the Sundance Film Festival after a small beauty slip became the focus of social media chatter. The Duchess of Sussex attended the screening of Cookie Queens, a documentary she and Prince Harry executive-produced, appearing alongside her husband at the event. Thanking the audience for turning up early, Markle said, “Thank you guys so much for being here bright and early,” acknowledging the effort required after late festival nights. “I know some of you probably had late nights last night, so extra thanks for the effort. Nothing that little cookies and coffee can't help.”
She then spoke about the movie, saying, "Look, my husband and I and our Archewell Productions, we are so proud and privileged to be able to support and uplift Cookie Queens,” she said, calling it “probably the cutest film at the festival.” Despite the otherwise refined appearance, some social media users were quick to notice what they described as a beauty faux pas, pointing out that her hair extensions appeared to be visible on the left side of her head.
For the outing, Markle opted for a polished, understated look, wearing a navy blue coat paired with black trousers and a cream jumper. Her make-up was kept minimal with soft bronzy tones, while her hair was styled in a sleek ponytail.
What am I looking at here? The makeup is too dark and does not match her neck and what is up with the back of her head? pic.twitter.com/wV6twY5bmG

The moment quickly snowballed online, with several users dissecting her appearance in detail. One commenter asked, “Has she had a facelift?” while another remarked, “Her hair is so tightly pulled back it’s giving a Croydon facelift.”
Others focused more closely on her hair and makeup. One user wrote, “That’s the hair she has woven in. As for the makeup application… she must be putting it on in a room with just a mirror. If she went to a window and applied makeup in natural light, she would see how dark it is and where it ends on the jawline and by the lower ear.” The same comment went on to speculate about thinning hair around her face and forehead, adding, “But, as we know… she knows everything… so…”
Additional comments then zeroed in on the styling technique itself. “You can see where the extensions are bound into her hair,” one user claimed, while another questioned how they were attached, asking, “How does that even work? Is it glued to the hair or something else?” A further comment got a little more technical, writing, “Looks like the hairdresser made a tight, narrow braid against the head and sewed the extensions into the braid.”
While another user pointed out and said, "Bad blending and shade for her. Is that hair extensions or something back behind her ear? I’ve never worn them so I have no idea," while another speculated about the amount of beauty and cosmetic treatments she has undergone. The user commented, "The bronzer on her face never matches her neck, hands, or legs. She has undergone three nose jobs, a chin implant, an eyelift, and has five sets of veneers." It looks like, whatever the reason, people somehow find reasons to criticize the Sussexes one way or the other.
