Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are married - and Meghan chose a stunning couture gown by Givenchy for their special day.

While all eyes were on the wedding dress as Meghan arrived at St George's Chapel, we also couldn't wait to see if the royal bride would change into something else later on in the day.

And that's exactly what she did!

This is proof that two outfits are always better than one.

Meghan chose a more relaxed gown by Stella McCartney for the evening reception at Frogmore house, and we love every inch of it. Ditching the sleeves of her more formal first wedding gown, Meg - or the Duchess of Sussex, as we should call her - picked a halterneck dress that skimmed her body. And it's just GORGE.

We're really feeling Prince Harry's black tie situation, too.

Meghan followed in Kate Middleton's footsteps, who also wore two gowns on her royal wedding to Prince William. You may not remember as you were probably too busy being blown away by her huge Alexander McQueen gown, but Kate Middleton actually changed into a smaller, second wedding dress for her reception.

Some people may think it's extravagant, but we're not entirely sure Meg would have been able to dance very easily in that first gown! Besides, she may just have wanted a second dress because this was the most photographed event of her life - and she wanted to look and feel great and spoil herself.

TBH, if we were Meghan, we'd be having ten dresses, one for every new hour!
