Although Givenchy is a French label, her choice of wedding gown designer also gave a nod to her new British beginnings — British designer Clare Waight Keller has served as Givenchy’s Creative Director since Riccardo Tisci’s departure in 2017.
ForMeghan’s wedding to Prince Harry, Waight Keller created 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.”
“It was an incredible thing to be part of such an historic moment and, in fact, to have the opportunity to work with her,” Waight Kellertoldreporters at Kensington Palace in London during the royal wedding weekend.
