Meghan Markle Royal Wedding Dress: All the Predictions
The royal wedding is fast approaching, and we aren’t any closer to cracking the code on Meghan Markle’s wedding dress. While the soon-to-be "Her Highness" could choose any dress and it will still be iconic, rumors are flying that the lucky designer she may have chosen could be anyone from Ralph & Russo, to Christopher Bailey, to Ricardo Tisci, or someone else entirely.
Though the denial skills of all of the aforementioned are stellar, the wedding dress could very well wind up being a creation from any one of them. To hold you over until the reveal on Saturday morning, here is everything you need to know leading up to the big reveal.
Karwai Tang1/9She's said it before.
Meghan was interviewed by Glamour Magazine, long before she was a royal, sharing her ideal wedding gown. When speaking to the mag, she shared, “pared down and relaxed. Classic and simple is the name of the game, perhaps with a modern twist. I personally prefer wedding dresses that are whimsical or subtly romantic. Delphine Manivet and Christos Costarellos are faves of mine for their uniqueness and beauty. And I will always be a fan of Elie Saab. J. Mendel is spectacular as well, especially for more structural designs.” Could all of the above still hold?
Courtesy of Inbal Dror2/9There have been leaked sketches
TMZ reported that sketches were leaked from Israeli designer Inbal Dror, who allegedly sent his looks over to the UK for consideration. There were three gowns in total, all with long sleeves.
3/9People think it could be Ralph & Russo.
Though just this month, Page Six reported that the rumors were false, claiming that Ralph & Russo would be the design house behind the dress, it still remains unclear. They designed the black gown Meghan wore in her engagement photos, which many think to be a clue.
Catwalking4/9Or perhaps Christopher Bailey.
It could be that Meghan has tapped British designer Christopher Bailey who is a soon-to-be freelance designer as he prepares to leave his post at Burberry. After all, he may no longer be with the iconic brand, but his aesthetic is still synonymous with some of our favorite collections in the UK.
Courtesy of Givenchy5/9Riccardo Tisci is also a contender.
Riccardo Tisci is the newest Creative Director at Burberry and many speculate that Meghan's gown could be his first design in the position. With his edgier style than the previous creatives at the brand, it would be a stellar first showing for the partnership.
Victor VIRGILE6/9But Erdem is a favorite of the Royals.
Another designer that has been added to the flurry of rumors is the Kate Middleton-loved brand Erdem. Though a longshot, many speculated this might be the reason Erdem announced last month that they would be taking their PR in-house.
Pascal Le Segretain7/9The silhouette will be classic.
Though Meghan wore an empire waist strapless gown for her first wedding, it’s probable that her royal wedding creation will be decidedly more conservative and traditional. Much like Kate Middleton, it wouldn’t be surprising to be made largely of lace, boasting long sleeves.
Paul Morigi8/9There might be two.
Last month, Vanity Fair reported that there would be not one, but two royal wedding dresses. A source disclosed to the publication that, “she will have two dresses, one for the ceremony and another dress for the evening,” continuing, “The plan is for her to change after the ceremony so that she can party the night away in something glamorous and less restrictive. Meghan can’t wait to surprise everyone, especially Harry. The wedding dress itself will be traditional and elegant. There is talk of some lace and sleeves and Meghan has been working very closely with the designer who has been sworn to secrecy.”
