The world is waiting with bated breath to see which designer Meghan Markle will wear when she marries Prince Harry on May 19 — and how much the The Dress will cost.
Rumors have been flying that designers Roland Mouret, Inbal Dror, and Burberry’s Christopher Bailey are in the running to dress the future royal for her big day.
Dan O’Neill, creative director of bridal, bridesmaids, and evening wear brand THEIA, told Business Insider last week he predicted Canadian designer Erdem Moralıoğlu, whose ERDEM brand has a “modern Victorian with a quirky edge” aesthetic, to design the royal wedding dress since Markle has been wearing clothes by Canadian designers or brands as of late.
But this weekend, the Daily Mail shut all that down by reporting that Markle will wear a creation by Ralph & Russo— the designer behind the black masterpiece of a gown she wore during her engagement photos with Prince Harry.
And while the wedding dress has been rumored to come with a six-figure price tag, specifically $550,000, it may not be as high as we’ve been led to believe. According to the Daily Mail, the dress is only $135,584 (£100,000). Markle will probably pay for the dress herself, while the other wedding costs will be covered by the royal family, keeping in tradition with Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding.
Either way, it’s cry from the wedding dress Markle wore during her first wedding to Trevor Engelson in Jamaica, a white strapless column gown with an embellished belt.
But that’s not the only time we’ve seen her in a wedding dress pre-royal wedding.
In the season seven finale of Suits, her character, Rachel Zane, wore an Anne Barge V-neck wedding gown with beading and delicate embroidery that retails for $6,800.
But neither of those gowns will hold a candle to the dress she wears on May 19 — and she certainly has big shoes to fill when it comes to royal wedding gowns.
