Meghan Markle's £56,000 Engagement Gown...

Meghan Markle knew all eyes were going to be on her when she and Prince Harry released their engagement photos today.

And the bride-to-be certainly didn't shy a way from making a statement when it came to her dress. 

The 36-year-old looked red carpet ready in a glittering couture gown by British label Ralph & Russo. The handmade creation would have taken thousands of hours to make and is estimated to cost £56,000. Kensington Palace confirmed the gown was 'privately purchased'.
