Meghan Markle is back in the headlines, and not for a SoCal beach day or a chic LA appearance. This time, she's been tagged as the 'Villain of the Year' by none other than the trendy Kitson boutique in Los Angeles. Known for its high-end fashion and playful displays, Kitson's Christmas window on Robertson Blvd is catching eyes with its 'Holiday Hypocrites' showcase. The boutique, snuggled between the glitz of Beverly Hills and the vibe of West Hollywood, has become a hotspot for this cheeky display.
Joining Meghan on this year's list are some other big names – George Clooney, California's Governor Gavin Newsom, and pop sensation Katy Perry. It's all part of Kitson's annual tradition that started back in 2020, where the spotlight turns on those deemed 'villains' in the public eye. This year, Meghan's image graces a Christmas-themed magazine mock-up, complete with a Santa hat labeled 'Montecito diva.'
“It started out with customers asking us if we had anything related to the young royals,” explained Fraser Ross, the Kitson owner, to the Daily Mail. “They would go on to say why they favoured one couple over the other.”
The display doesn't stop at festive fashion spins. It features a series of zesty headlines that give the duchess a run for her crown. Among them, an alleged farmers' market rule-break in Montecito, comments on her 'homemade' jam, and even critiques on her sartorial choices. It’s clear that Kitson is pulling no punches in its cultural critique, as it becomes a talk of the town yet again.
This isn't the first time that Kitson has taken a dig at the royal family. Ever since Meghan and Prince Harry's famous step back from royal duties, the boutique has capitalized on the public's fascination with the duchess. Whether you're a fan or not, this year's 'holiday hypocrites' display is sure to stir up some Malibu-style drama and keep the conversation going.
