On Meghan's royal tour of Australia, she and Prince Harry gave me flashbacks to their May 2018 ceremony when they stepped out in their finest for a state dinner in Tonga. Harry opted for a tuxedo, and Meghan chose this formfitting Theia column gown with cap sleeves, a subtle side slit, and crystal embellishment at the shoulders. While I really did love Meghan's Givenchy wedding gown and her Stella McCartney reception number, Meghan's Theia dress would be a fitting choice for a modest bride who prefers simple silhouettes. I mean, I'd totally walk down the aisle in it.
Now, I don't have plans to get married any time soon, but once I saw that this exact look is available to shop for $995, I considered putting all of my eggs into one basket and making the purchase. I mean, with the average price of a wedding dress being upwards of $1K, why not make this wise investment? Ahead, check out every angle of Meghan's memorable ensemble, accessorized with a Givenchy clutch, Aquazzura pumps, and that amazing aquamarine ring from Princess Diana. Plus, shop Meghan's exact design, along with similar styles if you like this silhouette and want some options.
