A givenchy for the royal wedding dress

Meghan Markle made the trip to St. George’s Chapel with her mother Doria Ragland, transforming into the Duchess of Sussex in a sublime Givenchy couture dress upon arrival. The Duchess of Sussex chose Clare Waight Keller’s design for her royal wedding to Prince Harry, with a large veil and the Order of Splendor tiara, on loan from the Queen, and once worn by Queen Mary. She wore subtle Cartier diamond earrings to punctuate the look.

The dress had a boatneck, complemented with a fuller silhouette; a surprisingly subdued choice for the bride who opted for a heavily embellished dress by Ralph & Russo for her engagement portrait. The piece was the first bridal moment for Givenchy under the direction of Clare Waight Keller, the first female artistic director at the house.
