The light long dress was designed by Wes Gordon, the American is creative director at Carolina Herrera. The bespoke tailoring is said to have been made during Meghan's first pregnancy with baby Archie, and now she's wearing it "publicly" for the first time on this very special occasion.

On Instagram, the designer, who has long been part of Meghan's circle of friends, congratulates the couple: "Congratulations to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry," he writes under the photo of the two paired with the emoji of an angel. Meghan supported Wes Gordon even before her time at Prince Harry's side. In 2015 she attended the runway show of his own label at New York Fashion Week, of course, sat in the front row. That she is now, six years later, choosing one of his designs for this announcement is not surprising.

Carolina Herrera's dress fits the picture perfectly

The light, floor-length dress without sleeves made of linen also fits perfectly into the picture. The flowing fabric goes perfectly with the natural backdrop, the simple cut and the unexcited style go well with Meghan. In the first official photos after the announcement of her first pregnancy in October 2018, Meghan also appeared in creamy white.

It is also not the first time that Meghan relies on creations from Carolina Herrera for maternity wear: In February 2019, the Duchess of Sussex drew everyone's attention in a patterned blue dress during her official trip through Morocco. This creation was also made to measure.
