The mom-to-be swept her locks into a low bun and opted for a smokier eye and glowing bronzed skin.—Hello!

Wickstead was an interesting choice, as the designer tweeted that Markle’s Givenchy wedding dress was very similar to one of her own designs and later clarified that she did not think Givenchy had copied it by any means. We’re glad to see there really is no animosity between Markle and the designer!

At her wedding, Markle wore a timeless Givenchy gown designed by Clare Waight Keller – Givenchy’s first female artistic director. With the classic bateau neckline, the dress is a nod to the fashion house founder’s Hubert de Givenchy’s most-famous muse: Audrey Hepburn. In her long veil, Markle wanted to incorporate all 53 members of the Commonwealth. A flower from each country was selected and hand-embroidered into the veil, along with Markle’s personal favorite blossoms — the Wintersweet flower grown at Nottingham Cottage, and the California poppy from her home state.
