Unironed: Megan Markle's ‘Crumpled Chic' look leaves netizens outraged!
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, may have glided onto the stage at the 2025 TIME100 Summit with regal poise and her ever-supportive husband Prince Harry in tow — but it was her linen ensemble, not her luminous joy, that got the internet truly buzzing. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex speaks onstage during the 2025 TIME100 Summit at Jazz at Lincoln Center on 23 April 2025 in New York City. Picture:for TIME Meghan's 'Crumpled Chic' at the 2025 Times100 Summit this week. Reports from the Fashion Trenches: We take a look at the fashion fuss. The moment was golden: Meghan, in her first major public appearance of the year, opened up during her interview about her newfound joy, declaring, 'I never imagined I would feel this grateful at this point in my life, and I truly do.' She spoke of happy kids, loving partners (cue Harry's soft smile from stage left), and the everyday milestones of motherhood—including the news that five-year-old Prince Archie is about to lose his first tooth. Royal teeth and royal tears — sweet, right? But while Meghan shared her heartfelt moments, the fashion world was busy… having a meltdown.

Picture:for TIME The Duchess stepped out in a beige-toned, linen Ralph Lauren pantsuit that was meant to scream 'quiet luxury' but instead whispered, 'I forgot to iron'. The suit—an almost sold-out piece from the designer's latest line—featured wide-legged trousers and a slightly oversized blazer. Think slouchy-chic meets boardroom brunch. But according to online critics, the only meeting happening here was between linen and chaos. The fit? 'Too baggy,' sniffed one fashion purist. 'Unironed and unimpressive,' said another. And one particularly savage comment declared: 'Sorry, Daily Mail, that is not chic. That's a crumpled, screwed-up mess and an insult to Ralph Lauren.' Ouch.

Because in the same breathless scroll through fashion Twitter (or is it still X?), many netizens leapt to Meghan's defence. They labelled the look 'effortless,' 'on-trend,' and part of the growing wave of 'dad-pants domination,' where loose silhouettes and laid-back tailoring reign.

And the slow, glorious revenge of wrinkled fabric. So while the duchess may not have won everyone's approval, she's aligned with a movement that says: Yes, I can slay a keynote in something that doesn't cut off my circulation. And that, dear reader, is fashion-forward—whether you like it or not.

Ted Sarandos Says Netflix 'Saved Hollywood'

When asked by TIME Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs whether Netflix has 'destroyed Hollywood,' Sarandos, who is on TIME's 2025 list of the world's most influential people, argued that the streamer has actually 'saved Hollywood.' 'We deliver the program to you in a way you want to watch it,' he said on Wednesday. For many, he said, that means watching movies and TV shows at home. He argued that Netflix is providing a service to Americans in rural areas, who might not have as easy access to movie theaters. As to whether it is outdated to make movies for cinemas so people can watch them as a communal experience, Sarandos said, 'I believe it is an outmoded idea, for most people—not for everybody.' In fact, Netflix did take over the last single screen movie theater in Manhattan in 2019. Sarandos, who also made the 2013 TIME100 list, said Netflix subscribers are watching six different genres all the time, and noted how a promotional event for WWE Monday Night RAW included a live chamber music performance inspired by Bridgerton. Sarandos also reflected on comments he made earlier in the day at Semafor's World Economy Summit when he said that the entertainment industry often gets 'thrown under the bus' when it comes to trade deals. Sarandos said he was describing how in trade deals, even before President Donald Trump's current trade war, a free trade agreement with a country might include an exception for entertainment, requiring a minimum investment obligation that only the entertainment businesses have to follow. 'What I was saying is, it's often that the entertainment industry doesn't get treated like a real business, and that's one of the examples of it.' --- The TIME100 Summit convenes leaders from the global TIME100 community to spotlight solutions and encourage action toward a better world. This year's summit features a variety of speakers across a diverse range of sectors, including business, health and science, AI, culture, and more. Speakers for the 2025 TIME100 Summit include human rights advocate Yulia Navalnaya; Meghan, Duchess of Sussex; comedian Nikki Glaser; climate justice activist Catherine Colman Flowers; Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, and many more, plus a performance by Nicole Scherzinger. The 2025 TIME100 Summit was presented by Circle, Diriyah Company, Prudential Financial, Toyota, Amazon, Absolut, Pfizer, and XPRIZE. Write to Olivia B. Waxman at
