There was no denying that blushing bride Meghan Markle was the true spectacle of the event (it was her wedding, after all) in her stunning custom open bateau-neckline Givenchy dress. But that’s not to say that the other wedding guests paled in comparison when it came to donning their best for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s big day.
A star-studded line up of guests, including Oprah Winfrey, Victoria Beckham, Amal Clooney and Lady Kitty Spencer, filled up St George’s Chapel in Windsor in their chic wedding looks.
Let’s take a look the best dressed attendees who turned heads with their spot on choice of outfits for possibly what could be the wedding of the year.
One of Meghan Markle’s closest friends Priyanka Chopra wore a bespoke lilac Vivienne Westwood tailored dress and a Philip Treacy hat. The gorgeous actress looked incredibly lady-like and polished in the monochromatic fitted suit which featured a unique asymmetrical fold along the neckline.

Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, who was the only member of Markle’s immediate family that was in attendance for the big day, wore a sophisticated mint green dress embroidered with white florals by Oscar de la Renta and a matching cocktail hat. Featuring a knee-length overcoat worn over a shift dress, the classic silhouette was the perfect choice for the mother-of-the-bride.

Meghan’s Suits co-star Gina Torres played to the summery weather with a stunning high-necked pink and red Costarellos dress, which she teamed with a cream-coloured hat and clutch. The show-stopping brightly-hued dress from the Greek fashion house featured floral lace details and a sheer plunging panel, rendering it a glamorous ornate choice for the big event.

Victoria Beckham opted for navy blue, wearing a sleek high-neck, midi-length dress with fashion-forward slit sleeves. The fashion designer chose a matching pillbox hat and set her ensemble off with bright red heels. Though her choice of wearing a dark-coloured dress to the wedding may be a controversial choice which managed to raise a few eyebrows, Victoria Beckham looked undeniably chic and elegant even as she went off the beaten track. Stylish as ever, her beau David Beckham choose a navy tailcoat and grey trousers. Together, the power couple looked immaculate in their matching colours.

Amal Clooney stood out from the crowd in a honey yellow Stella McCartney ensemble, her figure-hugging cap-sleeved dress paired with a matching net-covered hat by Stephen Jones. She accessorized with teardrop earrings, a gold clutch and gold closed-toe heels, considering how open-toe shoes are a no-no at royal weddings.

Serena Williams was pretty in pink, choosing a blush-coloured asymmetric bodycon dress from Versace with a small sculptural headpiece from and a statement necklace from Bulgari. The tennis superstar was thrilled to witness her dear friend (whom she has known since 2015) Meghan Markle’s nuptials and her look was decidedly modern, yet classic.

It seems like pink is the hot colour of choice amongst wedding guests at the royal wedding this year. Oprah Winfrey wore a bespoke Stella McCartney blush-pink midi-length tiered dress with lace trim. The dress is made of sustainable viscose knit and accessorised with a cream hat with a matching pink floral embellishment.

Pippa Middleton, who stole the show in her bridesmaid dress at the last royal wedding, chose a demure long-sleeved mint green floral dress with pink pleat detailing by Brit brand The Fold.
Various sources such as Britain’s Daily Mail have reported that Middleton and her husband, James Matthews, are expecting their first child, but Middleton has yet to confirm it. But whether she was concealing the bump or not, we have to admit that the sister of Duchess Kate looked especially sweet and charming in her spring frock.
