Royalty Style: Meghan Markle wears Givenchy one shoulder gown

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, surprised everyone at the British Fashion Awards when she presented the British Womenswear Designer of the Year Award to Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy, who designed her wedding dress. Of course, the very much pregnant duchess wore a one-shoulder gown from Givenchy which she accessorized with gold bangles from one of the charities that the royal family supports and gold strappy sandals. She's glowing and we are all in awe!

Off with the head for those who are at it again in finding the tiniest fault on Meghan, like her black nail polish, which they say is against royal protocol of wearing only nude or pink nail polish. We say, go back to your house and never use the internet.

Royalty Style: Meghan Markle wears a blazer dress at Hamilton

Enough of people saying the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, "broke" a few royal rules again. We are tired of reading people's comments about what and what not she is supposed to wear because we honestly believe she dresses tastefully and carries herself really well. We especially like her Judith and Charles blazer dress that she wore to watch Hamilton with her husband, Prince Harry. She looked every inch a royal.

If you want to achieve the same look, here are some blazer dresses that will suit any budget size:

Royal Style: Meghan Markle wears striped shirt and trousers to Wimbledon

For the first time, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle had a girls day out at the Wimbledon Championships to support Serena Williams who is a known close friend of Meghan. While Kate chose to wear a printed white dress and let her luscious hair down, Meghan opted to wear a striped shirt by Ralph Laurent and trousers with her signature loose hair bun. The Duchess of Sussex accessorized her look with a fedora, small satchel and the only jewelry she had was her engagement and wedding rings.

We like her look so much that it didn't matter that Serena was not able to bag the title. She literally brought Los Angeles to Wimbledon.

Royalty Style: Meghan Markle wears off shoulder dress at Trooping the Colour event

The newly minted duchess, Meghan Markle, attended the Trooping the Colour event yesterday. It's her first event with the entire royal family since her wedding with Prince Harry on May 19. She surprised the conservatives with a blush off shoulder Carolina Herrera dress matched with Philip Treacy hat when she stepped out of Buckingham Palace balcony to greet their subjects. We really don't see anything wrong with her dress. Is it really in their dress code not to wear off shoulder dresses? 

It's not the first time that a royalty wore an off shoulder dress during an official event. Princess Diana wore an off shoulder gown by Victor Edelstein in 1985 at the White House dinner hosted by President Ronald Reagan. She was with Prince Charles during the event and she event danced with John Travolta that night. She has worn a lot of shoulder bearing dresses and the world didn't care about it. Another royalty who wears off shoulder dresses is the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, herself. She wore a pretty red off shoulder Alexander McQueen dress when she went to Berlin, a long sleeve off white Barbara Cassola dress during a dinner event in London, and another stunning Alexander McQueen gown during the 2017 BAFTA's.

Wedding dresses inspired by Meghan Markle's Givenchy dress

 

Meghan Markle's dress is still a hot topic especially now that Emilia Wickstead claimed that the Duchess of Sussex's Givenchy wedding gown is "identical" to one of her designs. We've seen it but the only identical thing we saw was the boat neck, which we believe is not in any way patented or trademarked by any designer known on Earth so we are moving on. However, for those of you who are planning to wed any time soon and would like to wear something that is inspired by the Duchess of Sussex's wedding gown, take a look at our picks from Vince Camuto, Badgley Mischka and Chiara Boni.

Meghan Markle's wedding dress in every angle

Prince Harry and Meghan exchanged their vows at St. George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle at around 12 noon in front of 600 guests today, May 19th. After months of speculation on who is Meghan Markle's wedding dress designer, we finally laid our eyes on the dress this momentous day.

While many British designers were speculated to commission the dress, the Kensington Palace announced that it was Clare Waight Keller, the artistic director of Givenchy, that was tapped to create Meghan's  wedding dress.

According to Givenchy, "True to the heritage of the house, the pure lines of the dress are achieved using six meticulously placed seams. The focus of the dress is the graphic open bateau neckline that gracefully frames the shoulders and emphasizes the slender sculpted waist." 

Furthermore, "The lines of the dress extend towards the back where the train flows in soft rounds cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza. The slim three-quarter sleeves add a note of refined modernity."

As for the 16-foot veil, the romantic cathedral-length style represents the distinctive flora of each Commonwealth country united in one spectacular floral composition. In addition to that, Meghan paid homage to her home state by including a California poppy. The Queen loaned her the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau tiara to keep the veil in place.

All we can say is, STUNNING!

Meghan Markel sure has impeccable taste when it comes to coats. We've seen her wearing a white coat during her engagement announcement and a camel coat when she joined the British Royal Family in church for the first time. Those were only two of the many occasions that she had shown us how to wear coats in the most chic way possible. While camel and white are key colors anyone must have in her closet, black is the definitely the essential. Here we can see Meghan wearing a black  belted Stella McCartney coat. The way she tied the belt into a bow is what made the coat stand out.
