“OMG was this an extraordinary day," she wrote on social media while sharing her experience.

Her first choice

Oprah Winfrey's pink dress was not her first choice to wear to the wedding. In an Instagram post, she revealed she was planning to wear a beige dress instead.

Thank you @stellamccartney ! Realized Friday morning the beige dress I was planning to wear to Royal ceremony would photograph too “white” for a wedding.Her team did this overnite. Hat is vintage @philiptreacy been in my closet since 2005 with new feathers. OMG was this an extraordinary day! #Harry&Meghan #RoyalWedding #Lovedeveryminute

However, she realized at the last minute that the outfit would photograph "too white for a wedding." And as we all know, wearing white to a wedding is usually frowned upon as it may upstage the bride.

The McCartney team actually dressed royal bride Meghan Markle in a beautiful evening gown for a private evening reception.

Speaking of outfit choices, Amal Clooney's was the favorite of the day

McCartney did not only dress Oprah and the bride, the fashion brand was also worn by Amal Clooney, whose outfit was truly breathtaking.
