Meghan Markle channeled her favorite celebrity wedding dress of all time, worn by Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, when she tied the knot to Prince Harryat the royal wedding.
Meghan — who turned to French fashion label Givenchy for her royal wedding dress, which was created by British designer Clare Waight Keller — seems to have paid tribute to her favorite bridal style moment for her nuptials.
Waight Keller made a gown out of pure white silk with an open neckline and slight A-line skirt. According to the release, her wedding shoes are “based on a Givenchy refined pointed couture design made of a silk duchess satin.”
The regal, minimal look gives off the same sophisticated and sleek vibes as Bessette Kennedy’s iconic chic and simple dress by Narciso Rodriguez, worn when she tied the knot with John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1996.
The $40,000 gown, which resembled a sexy slip, was the complete antidote to the puffy sleeves and oversized skirts that became the signature style during the 80s and early 90s.
“Everything goals,” Meghan previously told Glamour when asked about Bessette Kennedy’s bridal look.“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,” Meghan said of what she envisioned her bridal aesthetic to be like.Although many labels were in the running to design Meghan’s wedding gown, she ultimately went with a structured Givenchy creation that was “true to the heritage of the house.”
