AceShowbiz - Meghan Markle wore a stunning gown created by British designer Clare Waight Keller, head of Givenchy, as she wed Prince Harry on Saturday, May 19. The former "Suits" actress wowed the crowds at Windsor Castle as she made her highly-anticipated entrance on the steps of St George's Chapel, putting an end to the speculation over who would design one of the most photographed dresses of the century.
"You look amazing," Harry told his bride, as she bucked tradition and walked the first part of the aisle in the chapel alone, before being joined by her new father-in-law Prince Charles halfway.
Meghan's stunning silk gown featured an open neckline and sculpted waist, with an organza silk train and long sleeves.
The delicate silk tulle veil featured a trim of hand-embroidered flowers in silk threads and organza, and represented the flora of each Commonwealth country, as according to Kensington Palace officials, Meghan wished to have all 53 countries "with her on her journey through the ceremony."
A beautiful tiara, adorned with diamonds, held the veil in place, and was lent to Meghan by Queen Elizabeth II. The stunning piece of jewellery originally belonged to Queen Mary, and the jewel in the centre of the bandeau dates from 1893. Meghan's shoes were also manufactured by French fashion house Givenchy and crafted from white silk duchess satin.
Prince Harry and his best man, Prince William, were dressed in full military uniform, and the pageboys, who included four-year-old Prince George, wore black suits with red piping to sweetly match the bridegroom's uniform.
While Meghan's adorable bridesmaids, including Princess Charlotte, three, sported white sleeveless dresses with headbands adorned with fresh roses, and held posies of white flowers. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge was on-trend with her Alexander McQueen primrose yellow tailored coat too.
And the A-list stars who attended the royal nuptials didn't fail to disappoint in the style stakes either. Amal Clooney wowed onlookers in a bright yellow Stella McCartney dress, with a matching veiled fascinator, while her husband George looked dapper in a grey suit and yellow tie.
David and Victoria Beckham drew wild cheers from the crowds gathered outside St George's Chapel, with the fashion designer wearing a navy blue midi dress with split sleeves from her upcoming pre-spring/summer 2019 collection, which she teamed with a Stephen Jones tulle pillbox hat.
James Blunt's wife Sofia Wellesley looked incredible in a floral embroidered Valentino dress, while Priyanka Chopra wore a structured lilac Vivienne Westwood suit, with a striking matching headpiece, as she attended the wedding of one of her closest friends.
Meghan's former "Suits" co-star Abigail Spencer looked retro in an Alessandra Rich silk crepe polka dot midi dress, and tennis ace Serena Williams wowed in a blush pink Versace number. Oprah Winfrey was one of the surprise guests at the wedding and looked very stylish in a pink Stella McCartney dress and matching feathered hat.
