Following the roaring reception the Duchess of Sussex’s Stella McCartney evening gown garnered, the designer decided to recreate the royal wedding dress for her clients to purchase. Now, another British designer has got in on the action.
The dark-navy slash-sleeve midi dress that Victoria Beckham wore to celebrate the nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle went on sale this weekend. Customer interest was so high after she premiered the prototype that her client services team started a waiting list for it. Demand was overwhelming. The dress promptly became part of the brand’s pre-Spring/Summer 2019 offering, and Beckham fast-tracked production so that fans could purchase it sooner.
“I went to a very special wedding recently and wanted to wear something that felt feminine, and appropriate, but that also had a bit of an edge to it,” Beckham said of her fluid design with D-ring detail. “This dress was the perfect choice, I felt great in it all day and knew I wanted to make it available for my customer this summer.”
Expect the SAR/AED 7,210 dress to promptly sell out, but those who fail to snap up their slice of the royal-wedding fanfare can await a new drop in November. A red and milk version will be included in the official pre-Spring/Summer 2019 collection launch, as the “Victoria effect” rolls on throughout 2018.
