Now Meghan’s best friend has a £1,000 dress named after her
HER seven-year-old twin boys Brian and John played a key part in the wedding ceremony, carrying the bride’s train.
But mother Jessica Mulroney appears to be carving out a starring role of her own.
While the 37-year-old Canadian mother-of-three, who is Meghan’s best friend and closest confidante, was circumspect online, the style guru and her outfits were plastered over social media by her associates.
The PR consultant and bridal expert, who has been dubbed Toronto’s Gwyneth Paltrow, met Meghan when the actress moved to the city to film US legal drama Suits and the pair bonded over a love of yoga.
Over the weekend Instagram addict Miss Mulroney posted just a single photograph on her Instagram account – a picture of her twins holding Meghan’s train as she walked up the steps of St George’s Chapel on Saturday. ‘Proud friend. Proud mom,’ she wrote next to the photograph of the bride entering the church.
But while she remained relatively quiet, her associates were doing plenty of bragging – almost certainly with her tacit approval.
First there was Maison Birks, the Canadian jeweller responsible for her citrine and diamond drop earrings and yellow gold diamond necklace.
Birks was also responsible for mother-of-the-bride Doria Ragland’s white gold and diamond earrings and snowflake starry night pendant.
The Maison Birks Instagram posted a picture of Miss Mulroney with Kate Middleton, saying she ‘dazzled’ in the jeweller’s earrings – and pointing out that they would be available to purchase from autumn.
Next was stylist Rachel Renna, who shot video of Jessica in a gold-embellished Naeem Khan cowl-back dress at the Frogmore House reception and posted it on Instagram.
She also posted a photograph of herself with Miss Mulroney, giving her followers details of the lipstick the bride’s best friend wore.
Then there’s the royal blue, cap sleeve, number she sported for the wedding itself. A pop-up collection by Di Carlo Couture went live on the morning of the wedding with the ‘Jessica’ dress – a replica of Miss Mulroney’s form-fitting number, available to purchase for £1,100.
