It is not exactly customary to wear a see-through wedding dress, when white gowns were traditionally meant to signify chasteness and virginity.
However, in recent years brides have become far more daring with their looks.
Designers such as Pronovias, Berta Bridal, Marchesa and Inbal Dror – once tipped to be a favourite of Meghan’s – has all created sexy sheer dresses for their brides.
And now, Meghan Markle has chosen a wedding dress that could cost up to £320,000 according to bookmakers, and may well feature such a style.
The 36-year-old Suits actress has picked Ralph & Russo, a designer loved by Beyonce, Rihanna, Cheryl, Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Meghan Markle’s wedding dress – what could it look like?
This designer is well known for their haute couture bridal collections – which recently have featured a very racy trend. Many of the gowns have a sheer bust, with just embellishment hiding the nipples.
What would the Queen think of this style, which would be very sexy for a Royal Family wedding dress.
This means Meghan Markle’s wedding dress would be made by the same house that created a lavish dress for her official engagement photos.
She wore a black gown with a sheer, racy front for the glamorous photoshoot with her future husband.
The black ruffled gown with sheer panels embroidered with gold feathers was priced at £56,000.
The bookies have pulled the plug on exactly who Meghan will be wearing on 19 May, and the odds suggest she’s chosen Ralph & Russo.
Before betting suspended, Ralph & Russo were clear 1/3 favourites to design the Royal Wedding dress ahead of the likes of Erdem (3/1), Roland Mouret (4/1) and Victoria Beckham (6/1).
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “It looks as though Meghan’s made her mind up as far as her dress is concerned, so we’ve decided to pull the plug for the time being.”
Ralph & Russo wedding dresses are stunning, high dramatic gowns that ooze high octane glamour.
While it is likely Meghan’s dress will be a custom gown unlike any other produced by the band, it will likely follow the fashion house’s signature brand.
This means dazzling embellishments. The dress is likely to have a bejewelled sleeved and a long train.
Racy sheer details at the bust are also a signature of the brand, much like Meghan’s engagement dress, but will the wife of a royal risk such a fashion-forward design?
Meghan Markle’s engagement ring reveals much about her personality, according to an expert.
Much was made of Meghan Markle’s engagement ring, which it was revealed was made with diamonds from Princess Diana’s private collection and a huge central stone from Botswana.
