Prince Harry and his fiance Meghan Markle released their official engagement portraits overnight, and all eyes were on what the bride-to-be was wearing!
The 36-year-old looked red carpet ready in a glittering couture gown by British label Ralph & Russo. The handmade creation would have taken thousands of hours to make and is estimated to cost £56,000. Kensington Palace confirmed the gown was ‘privately purchased’.
The label, run by Australian couple Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo, specialises in elaborate couture dresses studded with crystals, devoré feathers, iridescent metallic and floor-sweeping trains.
The floor-length black tulle gown features a silk organza skirt, hand appliquéd with silk tulle ruffles, and an entirely sheer bodice decorated with intricate gold feather thread-work.
Meghan’s decision to wear a gown by the London-based designer for such a high profile occasion shows her commitment to supporting British fashion in her new role as a member of the Royal Family.
If this is anything to go by, we can’t WAIT to see what Meghan’s wedding dress is going to look like.
