What are the secrets of her wedding dress?
To say yes to her Prince Harry in May 2018, it was up to the talent of the British designer and artistic director of Givenchy then, Clare Waight Keller, appealed by the Duchess of Sussex. She appears in a very refined dress in white and matte silk cady, made from just six meticulously placed seams. The boat neckline of the piece highlights the delicacy of Meghan Markle’s shoulders, while the three-quarter sleeves bring a touch of refined modernity. The bride wanted to have all 53 Commonwealth countries with her to accompany her during this ceremony. Her silk tulle veil was therefore embroidered with lace and organza representing the distinctive flora of each Commonwealth country. In addition to these flowers, she asked to add two of her favorites: Early Chimonanthe, a flower growing in the gardens of Kensington Palace and the California poppy, the state flower of California.

Out with jeans, in with dress pants and below-the-knee dresses to honor her position as a duchess. The months following the wedding, the one who measures 1.68 m adopts outfits in light shades, from pale pink to putty to white, all signed by big houses like Givenchy or Prada for each of her official appearances.

So I wore a lot of neutral tones, which was also a way for me to fit in.” Since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry renounced their obligations to the Crown, the actress has returned to colorful clothing. Blue, red, she dares all the colors of the rainbow or shines in marinein noir or in vert, her favorite colors, and makes an impression with her long coats which characterize her silhouette. For the most important occasions, she covers her head with a hat. As for shoes, she is often perched on pumps Aquazzura or LK Bennett. For her interview with Oprah Winfrey, she is pregnant and wearing a black wrap dress Giorgio Armani that it appears.
