Meghan Markle reportedly once described the late Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy‘s wedding dress as “everything goals,” which makes the internet believe that she is a huge fan of her style, and has been for a while!

So, it should therefore come as no surprise to see that she is taking more sartorial inspiration from her – even more so now that the former Calvin Klein publicist’s style is in the spotlight again due to Ryan Murphy‘s Love Story, about her and the late John F. Kennedy Jr.’s romance.

Meghan Markle Wears Chic Black Headband Seemingly Inspired By Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy In New Video

The internet believes that the former Suits actress, 44, is copying Bessette-Kennedy's style in a video she shared on her Instagram Story on March 16th. The video in question shows the As Ever founder arranging flowers in the garden, while wearing an elegant black turtleneck and a Bessette-Kennedy-inspired thick, black velvet headband.

The video was seemingly filmed by Prince Harry, who said the arrangement was "beautiful" off camera. "Thanks," Meghan replied, while giggling, as her husband added: "So pretty and pink."

Many people on the internet took issue with the video, and slammed the With Love, Meghan star as lacking any originality. They also accused her of choosing to copy Bessette-Kennedy's undeniably chic nineties style now that she is in the spotlight again, in the hopes that it could boost her reputation and career.

Internet Reactions

"Never seen Meghan wearing a headband until Carolyn made it cool in her movie that's currently on Disney," observed one person on a Page Six Instagram post.

"Meghan is a copy-cat," slammed a second. "She's always cosplaying," declared a third, followed by multiple crying laughing emojis. "But why keep making it easy for haters?" asked a fourth, followed by the crying laughing emoji.

"Would she please give it up?" questioned a fifth, as a sixth exclaimed: "Nothing about her is original! She's always trying so hard to appear natural." A seventh concurred: "Not an original thought in her head or on it."

Others did come to her defense, though, with one fan writing: "Leave Meghan alone! She is just living her life!" "Let her enjoy her life," agreed a second, as a third said: "So no one is allowed to wear headbands because CBK did 25+ years ago?" "I'm a huge admirer of CBK and JFK Jr. but CBK didn't invent the headband," echoed a fourth.
