When Meghan Markle walked down the aisle to marry Prince Harry, all eyes were on her minimalist Givenchy gown—but just as iconic were her shoes. Elegant, refined, and subtle, they were the perfect finishing touch to her royal ensemble.
Meghan’s Ceremony Look Meghan wore custom Givenchy silk duchess satin pumps. These understated shoes, created by Clare Waight Keller’s team, echoed the clean lines and modern simplicity of her gown. The silhouette was timeless, with no excessive embellishments—just grace.
For the Reception: A Touch of Tradition Later, Meghan switched to a pair of custom Aquazzura heels with a baby blue sole. A nod to the “something blue” tradition, this playful detail balanced formality with personality.
Why It Works Meghan’s footwear choices were symbolic of modern bridal fashion: elegant yet understated, luxurious yet personal. She chose comfort and subtlety without compromising on sophistication.
