Kensington Palace has released the official engagement photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and the royal-to-be’s dress was truly fit for a princess! Markle wore a gorgeous black Ralph & Russo gown with a sheer, embellished bodice and full tulle skirt from the designer’s fall 2017 couture collection.

Considering the dress retails for $75,000, Markle definitely made a major statement with her risqué fashion choice, proving that she’s willing to bend the traditional rules of royalty.

Ralph & Russo is already a favorite among A-listers, and we’ve seen a few of our favorite celebrities wearing the British haute couture brand. Zendaya wore a bright pink Ralph & Russo gown to the Spider-Man: Homecoming premiere, and Beyoncé even commissioned designs from the label for her Mrs. Carter tour. Rihanna has also been spotted wearing dresses from the brand.

In case you were wondering, Prince Harry was decked out in Burberry for the engagement photo shoot. Prince Harry and Markle are set to wed at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018. If Markle’s engagement photo dress was any indication, her wedding dress is going to be beyond stunning!
