Royal rebel: Meghan Markle ‘breaks tradition’ in shock dressing gaffe at friend’s wedding
The Duchess was spotted wearing an £8,000 designer dress to the stunning wedding. However, what is most surprising is the one accessory she decided to pair with the designer dress.
Rather than wearing more designer-clad accessories, Meghan wore a pair of £5 earrings she borrowed from a friend.
The reasonably-priced bling was originally bought from a market stall on Portobello Road in west London, according to royal sources.
Meghan, 38, was seen wearing a sheer black dress to the event with sequins and flowing sleeves.
The dress was made by Italian designer Valentino for Ms Nonoo’s wedding.
Prince Harry also wowed in a classic, black tuxedo.
A royal source said: “Meghan always loved the earrings and asked to borrow them but no one would have known they were from a vintage market stall.”
Ms Nonoo is a fashion designer who married energy billionaire Michael Hess.
The pair returned to London from Rome on Saturday.
The wedding had a star-studded guest list which included the likes of Princess Beatrice, James Corden, Ivanka Trump and Sir Paul McCartney.
The couple left for South Africa yesterday morning and will arrive in Cape Town today.
Although Meghan stunned in her sheer dress, one stylist slammed her for her wardrobe choices.
According to one stylist, Meghan broke tradition because she decided to wear black at the wedding.

Speaking to MailOnline, stylist Lucas Armitage branded her outfit choice as “shocking”.
He said: “Wedding guests usually shun black in favor of a more complimentary colour to pair with white.
“Meghan isn’t one for playing by etiquette as we well know but even for her this is fairly shocking.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also guests of honour at Ms Nonoo’s intimate pre-wedding lunch on Friday.
Valentino is a brand that has long since been favoured by royals and Hollywood stars alike.
Meghan wore her hair in a simple bun and donned some statement earrings.
Ms Nonoo is one of Meghan’s closest friends and was recently hired as the designer behind the former actress’ new Smart Works capsule collection.
The last non-royal wedding the couple attended was in March 2017.
Meghan and Harry jetted out to Jamaica for the nuptials of the Duke’s close friend Tom Inskip and literary agent Lara Hughes-Young.
The pair had started officially dating eight months before, in July 2016.
