    Hint: A lot

    When Meghan Markle finally stepped out in her Givenchy wedding dress, that's all anyone could talk about (well, that and the sweet thing Harry whispered at the altar), and while we know roughly how much her dress cost to make, you'll be surprised to hear that the couture brand made quite a significant amount from social media coverage alone.

    According to Influencer DB, an end to end influencer marketing software, the different fashion brands worn by Meghan at the wedding, as well as their designers, made well into the six figure sums following the big day. Plus, celebrity wedding guests like Priyanka and Oprah also helped brands trend on Instagram. Here's a breakdown.

    @givenchyofficial racked in $2,948,167 (£2.2m) in earned media coverage, was mentioned 3002 times on Instagram and generated 12,234,710 likes. This was a result of designing Meghan's dress.

    @stellamccartney generated $2,046,806 (£1.5m) in earned media coverage, was mentioned 1840 times on Instagram and generated 9,605,198 likes. This was a result of designing Oprah, Amal, and Meghan's evening dress.
