Everything you need to know about the fashion on the historical day.
Meghan’s Wedding Look
The Veil:
At 5 metres long, the veil took hundreds of hours to create with the experts having to wash their hands every half an hour to keep the crisp royal white. It was made in silk tulle with hand embroidered flowers from each of the 53 commonwealth countries.
The Tiara:
Meghan’s veil was held in place by the beautiful tiara lent to her by the Queen for the special day. This was Queen Mary’s diamond and platinum bandeau tiara made in 1932, held together by a detachable brooch featuring 10 magnificent diamonds.
Hair and Make Up:
The chic low chignon up do was styled by celeb hairstylist Miguel Perez and make up by a good friend and Dior ambassador Daniel Martin. The natural look excentuated her freckles and beautiful skin, with some added glamour in a light smokey brown eye and tapped pink lip.
The Dress:
The classic 1960’s style off-the-shoulder gown was designed and created by Clare Waight Keller at Givency. Meghan helped choose the colour to bring “fresh modernity” to Kensington Palace. Made from double bonded silk cady with matt lustre, the pure white gown cost over $300 000, that’s all we know. When Kim Kardashion wore a Givency gown marrying Kanye West, it was valued at $500 000. Unfortunately, the dress was ill-fitting and people around the world were able to predict the exact style of the gown before the day.
Meghan’s Reception Dress
Now this is the dress that dreams are made of!
This stunning high neck gown made from silk crepe was a magnificent Stella McCartney creation. Here we can see incredible fashion sense and Meghan’s true personality. The sexy halter neck gown stole the show as they jumped into a silver-blue Jaguar E-Type.
Best Dressed Guest
The Royal Wedding guest list included many more celebrities this year thanks to Meghan’s glamourous background. Guests included the Beckhams, Clooneys, James Blunt, James Corden, Idris Elba, Serena Williams, Oprah and many of the cast of Meghan’s TV show, Suits.
David Beckham was by far the best dressed and his look has broken the internet, in his tailored suit and stylish sunglasses.
