Celebrity weddings have always generated a lot of excitement. Even more so when the protagonists are royals, and we can witness a royal event with all that it entails: luxury, protocol, numerous guests... and, above all, a spectacular wedding dress (or several). Many royal women and their respective bridal gowns are etched in the collective imagination, but we want to remember a relatively recent royal wedding: that of Meghan and Harry.
On May 19, 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were married at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. The best-kept secret was revealed when the former 'Suits' star made her entrance and walked alone to the altar. In just a few moments, we learned that Meghan had chosen a Givenchy wedding dress for the most important day of her life, designed by Clare Waight Keller, the brand's creative director.
If you're currently searching for the perfect wedding dress and the one Meghan Markle wore on her big day fascinates you as much as it does us, we have a suggestion for you. We found it at influencer Rocío Osorno's brand, and it's actually the same dress the 'it girl' wore at her wedding, which was also so highly acclaimed.
This simple yet elegant design features three-quarter sleeves (with lace detailing) and a fitted bodice. It differs from the Duchess of Sussex's dress in that it has a slightly higher neckline and a surprise back: a spectacular open back. It's available on the brand's website for €2,400.
The dress for the religious ceremony wasn't the only one Meghan wore at her wedding. The Duchess of Sussex chose Stella McCartney for her second wedding dress. A white silk crepe gown with a halter neckline and open back, it had a Hollywood flair and was worn as she left Windsor Castle for a private reception at Frogmore House.
Maintaining the simplicity of her first dress, Prince Harry's wife opted for a more modern design, which she paired with Aquazzura satin pumps with blue-painted soles and a stunning blue ring that once belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales, and was given to her by Prince Harry as a wedding gift.
From the same designer we mentioned earlier—Rocío Osorno—we found another dress very similar to Meghan Markle's second wedding gown. It was a straight-cut design without a train, featuring a neckline that falls somewhere between a mandarin and a halter, depending on the bodice pattern.
The difference between this dress and the one worn by the former actress is that the influencer's dress is made entirely of crystal rhinestones, while Meghan's is made of a completely plain fabric. Either way, either option would be perfect for feeling like a queen on your big day.
