Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s most inappropriate “Deal or No Deal” outfits would have hardly raised an eyebrow amongst TV viewers used to tuning in each week to watch the winners, losers, and eye candy “briefcase girls” or “bimbos” as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex claimed producers turned her and the other models into. However, outside the studio, Meghan’s outfits would likely have raised more than an eyebrow or two, especially the flirty little red dress she wore for her show promo photos in 2006.
In the pictures, Meghan shows off her long tan legs and plenty of cleavage in a thigh-skimming red mini dress paired with strappy heeled sandals and clutching a silver briefcase. However, Meghan finds this look somewhat problematic now.
“There was a very cookie-cutter idea of precisely what we should look like,” she told Paris Hilton on her podcast, “Archetypes,” in October 2023. “It was solely about beauty and not necessarily about brains.” Meghan further claimed she and the models would have to stand in line to get fake eyelashes and hair extensions added and their bras padded before heading on stage, in addition to undergoing weekly spray tan sessions. “When I look back on that time, I will never forget this one detail,” Meghan revealed, claiming there was a female showrunner who couldn’t pronounce her name but would yell at her before she headed on stage, “Markell! Suck it in,” referring to her holding her stomach in.
