The big moment is here: the first glimpse of Meghan Markle’s wedding dress has been caught by photographers as Markle and her mother Doria Ragland left their overnight hotel, the Cliveden House, for St. George’s Chapel for the actual ceremony this morning.

f you want to know what??wedding dress styles??are about to surge in popularity, look no further than??Meghan Markle and Prince Harry???s royal wedding??at Windsor Castle. On Saturday, May 19, the new Duchess of Sussex walked down the aisle of St. George???s Chapel wearing a simple long-sleeved gown with a boat neck by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, a tiara, and a long veil.

In the weeks leading up to the wedding, the American and British public gobbled up every available detail about the event: the unconventional selection of an??elderflower and lemon cake, Elton John???s??rumored performance, the drama about whether??Markle???s estranged father, who??told TMZ??that he can???t travel due to a recent heart attack, would attend. But despite??British bookmakers??? certainty??that Ralph & Russo would be making Markle???s bridal dress, the chosen designer???s identity wasn???t known until the day of the big reveal.

In 2017, British-born Waight Keller became the first female artistic director of Givenchy, the French luxury house founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy.
