Always setting the trends, she actually wore a coat-style gown that was decorated with over 325,000 pearls and crystal beads – some of which lined her V-neck, cuffs and skirt while others dotted across the fabric.

We especially loved her incredible jewellery. Sophie wore a full-length veil made of silk tulle and crystals, which was held in place by her beautiful diamond tiara.

Best of all, she finished her look with a black and white pearl necklace and matching drop earrings, which were a wedding gift from Prince Edward. The royal had them made by Asprey and Garrard, who was also responsible for Sophie's engagement ring.

The Duchess of Cambridge has worn the brand on numerous occasions; most memorably back in 2016 when she donned a pair of dazzling earrings on an official visit to Canada.
