We're only a few days away from finally seeing Meghan Markle walk down the aisle in what's sure to become an iconic wedding dress. 

There's speculation that the gown designer will be Ralph & Russo, as the Suits alum previously wore a black tulle dress from the British label's Autumn/Winter 2016/2017 runway collection for her engagement photos.

Though official details about the dress are hard to come by, we do have some hints as to the type of style Meghan prefers. In a 2016 interview with Glamour, she said her favorite celebrity wedding dress of all time was the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's unforgettable Narciso Rodriguez design when she married John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1996, which Meghan described as "everything goals."

While we're not sure if Meghan will emulate American royalty when she ties the knot with Prince Harry, there are plenty of memorable dresses that have already been worn by some of the world's most famous royals that could help influence her decision.

That list includes the elaborate Elizabeth and David Emanuel design worn by her fiance's late mother, Princess Diana, when she wed Prince Charles in 1981, and the stunning Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress worn by Meghan's future sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, when she married Prince William in 2011.
