Royal wedding: Who wore what on Harry and Meghan's big day?

in skhukon •  7 years ago 

_101644055_fashion-comp-image.jpgPastels, florals, as well as yellows and greens were key looks at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The bride kept it simple and sophisticated in her chic Givenchy gown - and the guests seemed to have had the memo too, with the majority getting their wedding looks spot on.

Out of 600 guests arriving for the ceremony in St George's Chapel, there were remarkably few who caused sharp intakes of breath.

We asked two fashion experts to cast their critical eye over the guests' choices.

  1. Amal Clooney_101644057_amal-comp2.jpgAmal Clooney, with husband George, was a vision in yellow
    Amal Clooney took everyone's breath away when she was among the first of the celebrity guests to arrive ahead of the wedding.

She wore a bright yellow Stella McCartney dress below the knee with a loose bow tied at the back. George wore a striped yellow tie and pocket to match his wife's stand-out look.

"Everything about it was perfect," says Elizabeth von der Holtz from fashion brand Net-a-Porter. "The colour, the neckline, the long-draped bow. She was super chic and beautifully put together."

Fashion boutique owner Alex Eagle agrees: "She looked amazing. She nailed the hat which is quite hard. It wasn't too big or too small - she nailed something in-between which is very hard.

"It's a really lovely vibrant spring colour without being florescent. The elegant silhouette balances the colour so it didn't feel ostentatious. She definitely stole the show."

  1. Carey Mulligan_101639899_e503dae9-b4ac-4acb-9c10-8d7789b789fa.jpgActress Carey Mulligan made an elegant entrance wearing Erdem and was accompanied by her husband Marcus Mumford.

Von der Holtz comments: "Carey Mulligan was one of the key looks for me today. She had a very pretty embroidered dress and looked simple and chic."

Eagle agrees: "Mulligan was the epitome of modern garden party style. She's what you expect a wedding guest to be - she looked young and fresh and elegant. And wasn't in a boring pastel ensemble."

Props indeed for Carey!

"My new girl crush is Meghan's mum," declares Alex Eagle.

"She was pared back and elegant - she showed that less was definitely more. I felt like there was a synergy between mother and daughter - with their outfits screaming simplicity.

"Her look showed a keenness - and also the freshness of spring. They both looked like they just weren't trying to prove anything.

Von der Holtz calls Doria's look "very clean, very appropriate dressing".

"Doria just looked like she was so emotional and happy the whole time! She looked really elegant in her unusual pistachio colour."

  1. Meghan's friends_101642766_suits-girls-afp.jpgHere come the girls...When Meghan's friends arrived there was a definite sense that here were some ladies who meant business.

With their bold tailoring and confident struts there was an unmistakeable non-Britishness going on.

Eagle comments: "I loved all the American glamour-zons, who showed up. They were just so much better groomed than everyone else."

Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra (second left) wore a pale lavender Vivienne Westwood skirt and blazer and Suits star Abigail Spencer (left) stood out in her forties-inspired polka dot tea dress.

"Abigail Spencer looked just divine in her Alessandra Rich dress," says von der Holtz. "Polka dots never go out of style, and she just nailed the look."

  1. The Beckhams_101642767_beckhams2reuters.jpgDavid gives a wave and a smile to the crowds. Victoria not so much...
    Victoria and David Beckham arrived looking predictably stylish and suave.

Von der Holtz says Victoria's look was not without its jeopardy: "It is very dark for a wedding - not what you might usually see, but with the red suede shoes and the interesting slits in the sleeves, I think she looked very elegant."

Eagle agrees: "There was a lot going on with the shape of her dress, which was good because she kept the colour quite dark."

Eagle adds: "It was nice to see David Beckham wearing a British designer - his friend Kim Jones at Dior.

"He looked modern, and wasn't trying to look too traditional or like an English toff."
