Here Comes The List

January 26, 2018 Blind Gossip

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] One of the biggest items on any bride’s To Do list is the dress.

This celebrity has decided on her top designer choice, but it’s not just based on her fashion aesthetic. Her criteria list also involves politics… celebrity… and friendship. That’s a lot to ask of one designer!

The Designer is the same nationality as the bride’s future husband.

This will help ingratiate her with her future family. She also likes the show business connection and the potential friend connection. She knows that [Designer] has a lot of posh friends, and would love introductions. She sees this as an opportunity to create a new circle of friends.

Sounds like she has really thought this through. Let’s hope the dress design works, too!

[Optional] Typical bride or overly calculating?

SOLVED!

Bride: Meghan Markle

Designer: Stella McCartney

We knew that Stella McCartney was designing a long white gown for Markle – and that Markle was going for fittings – but we did not know that Markle was going to wear TWO white gowns on her wedding day.

Surprise!

The first was a white gown with a veil by Givenchy’s Clare Waight Keller.

The second was a white gown by Stella McCartney.

Here are the conceptual sketches and the actual dresses.

First, the Givency conceptual sketch.

Next, Kate Middleton in her wedding dress (by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen) and Meghan Markle in her Givency dress and veil.

Here is Stella McCartney’s conceptual sketch for the second gown.

And here are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the wedding party, with Markle wearing the Stella McCartney dress.

Stella McCartney is the designer referenced in our original blind item. McCartney is the daughter of Beatle legend Paul MCartney, she is British, and she is socially very well connected.

By the way, did you know that Amal Clooney and Oprah Winfrey also wore Stella McCartney to the wedding?

Markle did not meet McCartney, Clooney, or Winfrey until very recently… and now all three women are in Meghan Markle’s posh new circle of friends.

We will leave it up to you to decide how calculating all of that is.

Congratulations to Sue de nim for being first with the correct response!

    Stella Mcartney designing Meghan Markles dress.

    Vivienne Westwood would deserve it more but she’s probably a tad too outspoken.

    Hmm, Meghan Markle, obvi, but the designer… I’ll guess Galliano.

    Idk if this is typical because nothing about her story is typical, and I guess that’s why people care so much? I’m betting she has to think hard about this choice because everyone else will overthink it so why not get ahead of the curve.

    Very typical of the position she finds herself in to be overly calculating of everything.

    I hope Stella McCartney.

    Typical is not possible. She is marrying into a royal family, arguable THE royal family. She knows this dress will be analysed and picked apart by fashion magazines/sites and the media at large. That is a lot of pressure.

    Diana always wore British designers. I think it’s fine.

    Meg and Posh (friends) Spice. I thought Meg had somewhat better taste in clothing but she can probably get Vicky to make whatever she wants, regardless.

    Sparkles is the bride to be. I read somewhere that she’s friends or acquaintances with Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice, so maybe that who she chose as a designer.

    Sparkles is calculating in every move she makes. She’s in love with the idea of being a Royal. Harry is simply a means to get there. Ideally, I am sure she’d prefer William, as this woman would love to be Queen.

    So she wants a new friend in a foreign county? What’s the big deal? I think she’s just trying to create a new inner circle.

  29. Baileygirl says

    January 27, 2018 at 6:06 pm

    I hope it is not Stella McCartney-not a real creative talent in my book. Both McCartney and Beckham seem way too commercial and not worthy of designing a royal wedding gown. I think it is someone with more chops as a real designer and not a designer because her dad or husband were famous.

    I hate to say it, but I thought her dress was very plain and fit her like something off the rack. Meghan is a fit girl, and maybe one more fitting could have showed that off, but she ended up looking shapeless. I thought the veil was gorgeous but it outshone her dress. Compared to Kate, there is no question who looks better.

    • Catharsis says

      Agreed. Both dresses were beyond boring. Guests at weddings wear fancier/more elegant dresses. If you shortened them they are essentially casual dresses that you would wear to work – even long they are way too casual for a wedding, nevermind a royal one! I have to say, the side by side comparison here really highlights how tailored Kate’s dress was, and how ill-fitting Meghan’s was. She looks like she’s wearing an off-the-rack sack.

    I loveddddd her wedding dress very simple and classic. The veil was everything to me. The second dress blew me away she looked like an angel. I don’t think it’s calculating at all.. she’s gonna live in London forever and she wants a new circle of friends.. nothing wrong with that.

    I think Megan Markle is very very Calculating.

    The Givenchy dress was just OK. It seemed not fitted enough in the sleeves and top area and was a little plain. I love the veil and tiara choice. Also love the stella mccartney dress.

  34. Cerise94 says

    May 21, 2018 at 3:55 pm

    I think it’s calculting but also very needed. She has no past as someone who carries a title or lives a life of class. She has jumped from Hollywood freedom into a structured life where mistakes aren’t permitted. If she wants to stand the test of time, she’ll have to calculate her actions and keep in mind who she associates with. She can no longer say what she thinks or defend her choices.

    Am I the only one who thought her dress was a frumpy fail?
