For the wedding receptions, Markle stepped out in another wedding gown -- this time designed by British designer Stella McCartney.

The Duchess wore a silk crepe, floor-length gown with a high collar, according to Women's Wear Daily, which released sketches of the dress Sunday. Markle completed her look by wearing \"something blue\" -- Aquazzura satin shoes with baby blue soles.

“I am so proud and honored to have been chosen by the Duchess of Sussex to make her evening gown and represent British design,\" McCartney, 46, told the magazine. “It has truly been one of the most humbling moments of my career and I am so proud of all the team on this stunning sunny royal day.”

The designers' comments about their memorable designs came as Kensington Palace released never-before-seen sketches of Markle's first wedding look.
