After Meghan Markle appears in another ‘bridal’ white gown…can you guess which one is the ACTUAL wedding dress?
The Duchess of Sussex arrived at the Nigerian Defense Headquarters in Abuja this month looking both elegant and ethereal in a white strapless dress from St Agni Studio that wouldn’t have looked out of place at the heart of a wedding.
Styled with her signature messy bun, the radiant look echoed the off-the-shoulder ensembles she wore on her big day at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle in 2018, which became one of the most celebrated royal fashion moments in history.
But this isn’t the first time Meghan has stunned in a white dress and given us bridal inspiration.
The former actress has been dressed in white power suits, flowing ivory dresses and flirty mini dresses since her marriage to Prince Harry, in a pattern that makes us wonder if she’s forever headed to her next wedding.

First there was a simple dress by local designer Karen Zee, which was both regal and relaxed, and then came an ivory Zimmermann dress topped with a Stephen Jones fascinator, which made Meghan look every bit the modern bride.
Next up was Maggie Marilyn’s chic white tuxedo dress in which she stepped out on the same tour, followed by a striking white Louis Vuitton dress worn during a visit to New York in 2022. Both befitting a royal princess, their structured silhouettes brought the designs to a higher level. from simple white dresses to statement pieces worthy of an impromptu wedding ceremony.

Paired with minimal accessories, the sharp lines and impeccable fit exuded sophistication while maintaining an air of simplicity. This look was quintessential Meghan and another example of her infusing her workwear wardrobe with a touch of wedding magic.
Let’s rewind to her actual wedding, the royal one, not the metaphorical fashion. Meghan’s choice for her wedding evening reception was a sleek halter-neck Stella McCartney dress that exuded elegance and modernity. The epitome of understated chic, it perfectly complemented the grandeur of her ceremony dress, designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy. While the first dress was all about the fairy tale, the second was about sleek sophistication. And since then, it seems Meghan has kept a piece of that bridal magic in her wardrobe, always ready to say, “Yes, I do that too.”
