Duchess Meghan's best Givenchy style moments

April 14, 2020

By Heather Cichowski

Duchess Meghan's stylish wardrobe is comprised of incredible pieces from amazing designers from across the world. One standout designer is Givenchy.

Like, Duchess Kate with Alexander McQueen, the Duchess of Sussex has a special relationship with fashion designer Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy. After all, it was the British fashion designer who created Meghan's iconic wedding dress when she married Prince Harry. And Meghan wore Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy to many milestone moments, including her first engagement as a member of the Royal Family and for her first royal engagement with the Queen!

Clare might have departed her role as artistic director of the French fashion label in April 2020, but we still have many stylish memories of Meghan, Givenchy and Clare's partnership. And we look forward to seeing more collaborations in the future!
