Meghan Markle Reportedly Considering Israeli Designer for Royal Wedding Gown
Remember how I recently broke the crushing news that Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s soon-to-be new Princess (or whatever, Duchess, they seem to be finicky about that stuff over there) is not actually Jewish, despite rumors to the contrary (although she is an actress/Hollywood person, which in the eyes of the Royal Family, is probably almost the same thing; also, does that mean she might one day play herself in a far off season of The Crown, the way Joan and Melissa Rivers played themselves in the TV movie they made about the suicide of their husband and father, Edgar Rosenberg, because why should someone else have the work?)
However! Her wedding dress designer might be Jewish! According to Elle, one of the designers in hot contention to the create the gown that is sure to launch a million trends (you couldn’t buy a wedding dress with sleeves before Kate Middleton, and believe me, I know because I tried) is Israeli Inbal Dror. Best known for her “barely-there” lines and lingerie inspired pieces, an aesthetic honed during her tenure at the famously risqué label Roberto Cavalli, Dror does not exactly have the kind of resume one might expect from a designer likely to create a demure royal wedding gown, although she is known for incorporating dramatic trains into her designs, the sort that would look perfect trailing down the aisle at Windsor Castle, where the couple has elected to hold their nuptials.
