Summary
Sister WivesstarMeri Brownhas lost weight since leaving polygamist Kody Brown, and she looks better than ever; however, she still has her fair share of fashion fails. Meri grew up in a big polygamous family, so it was natural for her to end up with her own sister wives.Meri was Kody’s first wife, and they were married in 1990. Although Meri had always dreamed of having a big family, she sadly struggled to conceive and only had one child. Kody married his second wife, Janelle Brown, just three years later, in 1993. He wed his third wife, Christine Brown, in 1994. After 16 years with three wives, Kody married his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, and added her three children from her first marriage to the family. This changed the Brown family dynamic forever.
When all was said and done,Kody had 18 children,so there was always too little of Kody to go around, which led to enormous resentment. Making matters worse, theSister Wivesseason 18patriarch openly favored his newest, youngest wife, Robyn, which caused friction with his other three wives. The family was already extremely divided when the response to the COVID-19 pandemic tore what was left of the family apart. Christine was the first wife to go, followed by Janelle. Then, in 2022,Meri left Kody after 32 years of marriage. Since leaving, Meri has slimmed down. Her dramatic body makeover has led to her experimenting with fashion. Though she usually looks great, not all her outfits are winners. While some of her ensembles are less than ideal, it’s great that she’s taking chances with fashion. It shows courage and boldness.

8Meri Misses The Mark In Yellow
She Looks Better In Jewel Tones
If there’s one thing that long-timeSister Wivesfans know about Meri, it’s that she’s a huge Disney fan who spends a considerable amount of time at Walt Disney World. In October 2023,Meriposted a carousel ofphotos of Meri at Walt Disney World. In the photos,Meri’s wearing a sleeveless yellow Mickey Mouse graphic teeover a pair of fitted denim shorts with rolled cuffs. The rest of the outfit works for Meri, but the bright yellow shade makes her skin look sallow and dull. Next time, Meri should opt for one of many colors that look great on her, like pink, purple, and blue.

Meri spends a lot of time at Disney World, and often posts photos of her park visits on social media.
7Meri’s Furry Sweater Fail
Trend Gone Wrong
The furry sweater seems to cycle in and out of style every few years, andMeri became one of the micro trend’s latest fashion victims. In January 2023,Meriposted a selfie in which she was wearing a furry red zippered sweatshirt. Though the color of the sweater isn’t an unsightly one, the furriness adds bulk and makes her look heavier than she is.Meri has lost weight since leaving Kody, and she shouldn’t try to hide her slimmed-down figure under an unnecessarily thick sweater.
Being in a marriage with Kody wrecked absolute havoc on Meri’s self-esteem. The longer their marriage dragged on, the meaner he seemed to get. Heopenly talked about not being attracted to his first wife, and not being able to see himself in a real marriage with her. TheSister Wivesstar tried to hold on, despite Kody’s cruel comments and snubs, but it eventually got to be too much.
6Brown Does Nothing For Meri
Earth Tones Don’t Suit Her
Just because her last name is Brown doesn’t mean she looks good in all shades of the color. In August 2023,Meriposted an Instagram photo of herself wearing a brown M&Ms tee shirt in front of an M&Ms store display. It’s great thatMeri appears to be having fun(this photo was a bit of cute joke),but this particular shade of chocolate brown does nothing for theSisters Wivesstar.
Meri’s post has 16.4K likes, and her caption reads, “Tell me your name is Meri Brown without telling me your name is Meri Brown….”
Meri had always loved to laugh, but it was harder to do that as her troubled marriage dragged on. In the end, Kody didn’t want to see Meri at all, and evenwanted to move her out to the middle of nowhere with the rest of the items he didn’t want. He envisioned her residing in a glorified storage unit. Though she loved Kody until the bitter end, theSister Wivesstar was much better off on her own.
5Meri’s Ugly Christmas Sweater
Ho Ho Ho
Though ugly Christmas sweaters are a time-honored holiday tradition,Meri takes the ugly Christmas sweater to a new level. In December 2022, not long beforeSister Wivesseason 18 starsMeri and Kody announced their split,Meriposted a holiday video with her friend, Jenn Sullivan. Both women are wearing terrible Christmas sweaters, but at least this time, Meri’s fashion fail was intentional.
The post has a whopping 244.3K likes, and Meri’s caption reads, in part, “Fridays with Friends Merry Christmas edition!”
Jenn is Meri’s best friend and has been a constant in theSister Wivesstar’s life over the years. Before leaving Kody, the Brown family split into two factions, with Christine and Janelle on one side and Kody and Robyn on the other side. Meri sided with Robyn and Kody, so when she divorced Kody, she was on her own. Since being separated from the rest of the larger Brown family,Meri has leaned on her friends for company and support, including Jenn.
Questionable Knitwear
In November 2022,Meriboarded a flight for one of her many adventures, and she posted a travel photo to Instagram. In the photo, Meri is wearinga gray and white striped tee shirt under a sweater in a weird shade of electric green. Not only is the shade of green unnatural and unflattering, but it doesn’t go well with the subdued shirt she’s wearing under it. Since leaving Kody, theSister Wivesseason 18 star has been indulging her adventurous side, which was often put to the side during her marriage.
Meri’s caption reads, “Off on another adventure on this red-eye flight! Where to next??”
Meri always wanted to go on adventures with Kody, but he never chose to spend time with her. With so many people vying for his attention, Kody neglected Meri. He eventually told her he was no longer attracted to her. After leaving him, Meri started dating again and even entered into anexclusiverelationship with Amos Andrews. Sadly,the relationship only lasted four short months, and Meri has been single since it ended in February.
3This Orange Is Too Much For Meri
A Creamsicle Nightmare
Like yellow, orange isn’t one of Meri’s best colors, and theSister Wivesseason 18 star should avoid bright citrus shades. In October 2023,Meriposted more Instagram photos of her at Walt Disney World. In these particular photos,Meri wore a bright orange hooded sweatshirtto match the one that her friend, Blair Struble, was wearing. Blair is one of Meri’s favorite Disney buddies, and her social media feed is littered with photos of the two friends at various Disney World parks.
“Halloween at Disneyland is simply my favorite,” Meri’s caption reads, “Having a friend who loves it as much as I do just makes for an easy excuse to go each year!”
Not only has Meri spent a lot of time at Disney amusement parks with her friends and members of her large family, but theSister Wivesstar has also gone to the magic kingdom withSister Wivesfans. After 18 seasons,Sister Wiveshas grown a big and loyal fandom. Meri has always enjoyed connecting with the community on a personal level.
2Meri’s Bizarre Stripes
Primary Colors
Since leaving Kody, Meri has not only lost weight, butshe’s also become a life coach, via her Worthy Up platform. TheSister Wivescast memberwas always interested in self-help and life coaching, even during her marriage. In October 2022,Meriposted a long and encouraging pep talk, which is a common way that Meri communicates with her social media followers.
Her long caption ends with, “You got this, you matter, you have something to offer, YOU are of infinite worth!”
In the heavily filtered selfie photo, Meri is wearing a bizarre top with broad blue, yellow, and red stripes. Not only are the broad stripes hard on the eye, but the colors don’t compliment each other. Meri is often an outfit repeater, wearing the same thing in multiple posts, but this shirt was likely never seen again.
1Meri’s Canadian Tuxedo & Animal Print
Too Much Going On
The term “Canadian tuxedo” describes an all-denim outfit, which often includes a pair of jeans and a denim jacket or button-down shirt. The look had a moment a few years ago, so Meri can’t be blamed for partaking in the trend. In September 2022,Meriposted a photo in whichshe wore a Canadian tuxedo, which included skin-tight jeans and a teeny tiny denim vestthat looked like it was made for a child. In case that wasn’t enough of a fail, Meri threw it on over a fitted animal print top.
With all the clothing items being so fitted, the outfit lacks proportion and balance, and between the double denim and animal print, there are just too many elements fighting for visual supremacy. TheSister Wivesstar should stick to more simple looks that let her natural beauty shine through.
