Markle chose Waight Keller for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, impeccable tailoring, and relaxed demeanour and wanted to highlight the success of a leading British talent who has now served as the creative head of three globally influential fashion houses – Pringle of Scotland, Chloé, and now Givenchy.

The gown chosen by Meghan was very reminiscent of an Audrey Hepburn style as opposed to a beaded number. The dress had slim three-quarter sleeves and a boat-shaped neckline. The look was completed by a Cartier bracelet and earrings. Photograph: Andrew Matthews/Reuters
