The Royal Ascot is a big deal — the horse-racing event takes place every year and is known for its dazzling fashion moments, upper class frivolities, and the world's finest horse racers. The slogan for the event is even, "Be part of the drama," so you get the gist of it. In her first Royal Ascot appearance, Meghan Markle stuck to designer duds and opted for a Givenchy dress, designed by none other than Clare Waight Keller, the visionary who designed Markle's wedding dress.
As noted by Harper's Bazaar, Markle paired the gorgeous off-white dress with a hat by Philip Treacy, a box clutch, and a pair of black pumps. So what's the price tag? Well, for starters, the Givenchy dress alone was estimated to cost about £4,200, which is roughly $5,400, as reported by the Daily Mail. The clutch was almost $2,000, and the shoes were $650. And to top it all off, the Philip Treacy hat was around £1,950, or about $2,500. So collectively, Markle's look set her back about $10,500. But she looked radiant, so who are we to judge?
