    A Stella McCartney creation

    We can all agree that Meghan Markle's Givenchy wedding dress was well worth the wait, as it was revealed this morning in all its modern elegant glory.

    However she might just have topped it with her evening wedding dress, a sleek number created by Stella McCartney (so half the wedding dress designer rumours were true at least).

    The white silk evening gown featured a chic high neck and soft flowing skirt and small train, which Meghan held up as she got into a vintage sports car with Prince Harry to head to their evening reception.

    This gave us a glimpse of her pointed Aquazurra silky satin and nude mesh heels with baby blue soles.

    A statement from the Palace read, 'The Bride's evening dress is designed by Stella McCartney and is a bespoke lily white high neck gown made of silk crepe. The Bride is wearing shoes from Aquazurra made in silky satin, with nude mesh, with soles painted in baby blue.'

    In comparison, Kate changed into a second McQueen dress for her evening do in 2011, and it was a very princessy strapless ballgown with jewelled belt.
