THEIR FAVOURITE LABEL? GIVENCHY

Audrey was a lifelong friend and muse of Hubert de Givenchy, the French fashion designer, and so it came as no surprise that he designed her wedding dress, not only in real life for her second marriage in 1969, but also for her on-screen nuptials.

Her dress in the 1957 film Funny Face (left) is particularly similar to the Givenchy gown — designed by the fashion house’s new artistic director, Clare Waight Keller — worn by Meghan for her wedding last month.

Both were classic Givenchy — made from figure- hugging cream silk, with flattering boatshaped necklines and minimal adornment.

And, of course, Meghan’s Ascot outfit this week of a Givenchy shirt- dress with black-and-white hat (above right) sparked comparisons with Audrey’s racecourse outfit from My Fair Lady (above). e).

Audrey wore a black- and- white te Givenchy gown in 1954 film Sabrina, a, an embroidered d dress by the e designer to collect lmy her Academy Award later that t year — and Givenchy was also behind behi d the black dress she wore in the opening credits of Breakfast At Tiffany’s.

The French designer created a striking frock with a boat- shaped neckline for Audrey in 1953 film roman Holiday (top far left). The boatneck is also a favourite of Meghan’s, memorably worn during the Trooping the Colour this month (top left).

Meghan also opted for Givenchy with the caped dress (right) she wore for her outing with the Queen in Cheshire earlier this month.
