Duchess Meghan wore Zimmermann & SAFiYAA for her arrival in Fiji

Duke and Duchess Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend a ceremony in Fiji

Here are photos of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s arrival in Fiji, as part of their South Pacific tour. It seems that Fiji is also experiencing a severe case of Megmania, and Fijians came out in droves to see the charming royal couple. Meghan looked a bit tired, but after they arrived, they let her sit down and enjoy the welcome ceremony.

For the arrival and the first events in Fiji, Meghan wore this cream-colored Zimmermann dress and a matching hat by Stephen Jones. I don’t love or hate this dress – it’s pretty enough, it looks a bit stretchy so it was probably comfortable for her little bump. Kensington Palace say 15,000 people came to see Meghan and Harry just for the welcome ceremony:

After that, Meghan and Harry changed into their elegant eveningwear for the state dinner. For the state dinner, Meg wore a gown by SAFiYAA (designed by Daniela Karmuts) and the shade of blue is supposed to be ‘Fijian blue.’ Meghan also wore some extraordinary diamond earrings, most likely on loan from the royal collection.

    Her silhouette is absolutely beautiful in that blue dress from the side. She looks lovely!

    • Lightpurple says:

      That pop of blue color really suits her too.

      • Jan90067 says:

        The blue color is lovely, but now, with her chest getting larger, is not the time to embrace higher necklines. A slight scoop or V neck, like she used to wear, would look a lot better (IMO of course).

        Also, when are cape dresses going to be a thing of the past?

      • Beach Dreams says:

        ^ I think it was appropriate for the evening since it was a state dinner and the Fijians prefer a more conservative look (covered shoulders, etc.) in that circumstance.

    • dietcokehead says:

      She looks lovely in the blue dress, but the cream needs a good steam. Too rumpled.

      • Franny Days says:

        YES to a good steam. Why is there not an assistant who is carrying a steamer with them everywhere they go!!

      • Amelie says:

        Harry’s outfit is pretty rumpled too if you look at his pants. I really can’t imagine having a steamer on board a plane?

      • Franny Days says:

        @amelie they make super small portable steamers. I travel with mine all of the time. And I’m not a royal lol.

      • Megan says:

        I am wondering if it is hotter than expected because they have both looked pretty rumpled throughout the tour.

      • Princessk says:

        I noticed that too. I find it strange that the her clothes are sometimes crumpled but this time having to change on a plane is a valid excuse l suppose.

      • Nic919 says:

        They changed into these outfits while on the plane so that might explain the rumple look.

    • Cali says:

      Blue is this woman’s color, and when she and Harry both wear Blue😍😍😍😍😆😆😆😃😃😃😫🤤

  2. Belluga says:

    That evening gown is stunning on her (bump and all!). And the earrings!!

    • Dee says:

      She popped! I love that pregnancy stage when you go from nothing to a cute little bump over night! My midwife called it “popping”!

      • Ladykeller says:

        I love that cute little bump. Unfortunately after 2 kids I’ve got a permanent one. I almost cried looking at the picture of her from the side. Feeling so nostalgic for the wonder of the first pregnancy and how exciting everything was.

    • RoyalSparkle says:

      +100
      Both the arrival white attire and Fijii blue are very Regal and beautiful.

      More of the arrival attire please for formal Royal occasions with the duchess head wear, which is much better than the high slit stripe casual midi (as the Tux dress in London by hangers on mulroney unroyal style).

  3. LizB says:

    She looks so so good in that blue dress. And with the (needed) bling. Very nice.

  4. Alexandria says:

    She’s popping. Ok now I understand why she dressed that way during the wedding. She had to minimise the pregnancy chatter. I was one of those who disagreed that she had to announce soon after the wedding because I did not think it was obvious. I thought it was best to announce only because of the tour. Regardless, I still feel she did not steal any thunder cos it’s after the wedding.

    • L says:

      Do you think she was pregnant then?

      • VanessaB says:

        I think she’s referring to Princess Eugenie’s wedding from earlier in October, not Meg and Harry’s in May.

      • Des says:

        @L – Alexandria is referring to Eugenie’s wedding last weekend, not H&M’s wedding.

    • FC says:

      I’m starting to get twins vibes.

      • Sharon says:

        So weird you say that. I got those vibes on her last day in Sydney… she’s tiny and she’s already popped quite a bit.

      • Betsy says:

        I said that a few days ago, too. Which – double blessings but so,many more pregnancy risks.

      • Emily says:

        I’m getting twin vibes as well. I’m 14 weeks and barely show. I actually looked bigger when I was 8 weeks because of bloating. First time moms take time to show. So she either has twins or she’s farther along than 12 weeks.

      • Penny says:

        I was quite big at 12 weeks as well but my boy came out very tall so it’s possible she’s tiny and the baby’s tall…although twins would be lovely, imagine if they had one of each on their first go!!

      • bros says:

        she’s really small and she’s got a very short waist. the type that shows right away because there’s literally nowhere to hide it, unlike Kate, for example, who has about 5 or more inches on megan and a very long waist.

      • themummy says:

        I’m 5’3″ and very short waisted. Actually, I have a body a lot like Meg’s…skinny legs and all…haha. Despite being short and short-waisted, I did not really show until almost 20 weeks. I know some show earlier, but generally no one shows much or at all by 12 weeks.

        If she is showing this much at just 12 weeks (out of 40 weeks of pregnancy, mind you), then I agree that it is either twins or she is further along that they have said. At 12 weeks, a baby in utero is only 2 inches long and weighs half an ounce. No way would that cause such a pronounced bump.

        https://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-12-weeks_1101.bc

      • Ms. Turtle says:

        Emily Andrews reported last week that she was 15 weeks. So this week would be 16.

      • Beatrice says:

        I’ve been thinking twins, too.

  5. Kittycat says:

    The blue dress is amazing. If I can find a knockoff I can wear it for Halloween.

  6. Originaltessa says:

    The blue gown fits terribly in the arm and bust area, but it’s nice to see her in some vibrant color. She’s popping as the tour progresses. Poor thing must be exhausted.

    • Tanya says:

      I had such a hard time fitting things while pregnant. My boobs would just change seemingly overnight.

    • MeghanNotMarkle says:

      There was no way to know how her body would change during her pregnancy. Two weeks is actually a good stretch of time in terms of shifting of body parts and bumps. Things are going to fit a little awkwardly until after the baby comes.

    • LahdidahBaby says:

      Yes, I’ve been thinking she looks exhausted in a lot of the pictures these last two days, though she is valiantly trying to hide it. I feel for her.

      Wow, has she ever popped overnight!

      Lovely shade of blue on her.

      Hate the rumpled cream-color dress.

  7. Lucy says:

    Come on, Meg! Give us MOAR bright colors! You can wear pretty much all of them. Also, she’s right on that stage in which she goes from having a barely there bump to BAM! in only a few days. That must be crazy!

    • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

      What if there are twinsies? With my twins, I couldn’t button my pants at 8 weeks… African-American women have a higher rate of multiples than Caucasian women, I think…

      • L84Tea says:

        I wondered the same thing.

      • Rianic says:

        I’m calling twins. I HAD to tell at 13 weeks because there was no hiding my bump. With my single, I didn’t bump till 18 weeks or so.

      • Jan90067 says:

        They said, wedding time, she was past the 3 mo. scan, so she could’ve been closer to 4 mos. then. She could be 17-18 wks. now, which, with her petite frame/short torso, could account for “popping” now (not much room for Polo Baby to stretch out in there 😊).

        Then again, how great would fraternal (g/b) twins be? One and done pregnancy!

  8. Beth says:

    That cream dress is basic and boring, but maybe it would be fine if it wasn’t such a blah color. Her second dress looks great. Finally! She’s wearing a bright color! The pretty blue looks excellent, and she should wear bright colors like it much, much more often

    • Belluga says:

      I liked the cream dress on the balcony more than on the runway. I thought she’d changed!

      Although worth noting that despite the red carpet flying all over the place in the wind, that skirt states by her knees. Hem weights, y’all.

      • dietcokehead says:

        Meanwhile, her counterpart had another Marilyn moment at Princess Eugenie’s wedding. I’m glad to see Meg got the memo about hem weights early on.

      • tuille says:

        The most “Marilyn moment” @ Eug’s wedding was the shot of Lady Louise from behind when she was herding the children.

    • PrincessK says:

      I thought she looked stunning on the balcony of the Grand Pacific Hotel, they pair of them looked as if they were in a 1950s Hollywood Musical. They really are magic.

      The blue gown looked amazing too, is this the first time we have see our Megs in a full length gown?

  9. Annie. says:

    She looks amazing in that blue dress! Absolutely gorgeous. Stunning. Yeah, I’m excited that she FINALLY!!! looks great.
    (I would’ve added a bracelet, but those earrings are fantastic and make the look. For real. But yeah, next time please add a bracelet too Meghan!)

    Now, the Zimmerman dress is…. Bad. Bland. Boring. I know she is pregnant, but God, couldn’t they have chosen a more forgiving fabric??? The black shoes black clutch…nah. And I’m undecided on the hat. I like it, but then I see other pictures and I don’t like it anymore.

    Oh well, all is forgiven for today because that blue cape dress (!!!!!!!!!!) is great

  10. Bren says:

    Love the color of the evening gown.

  11. Emma says:

    Finally a pop of color. With her skin tone, she should wear strong colors much more often. All the whites and creams just make her look bland and basic.

  12. Elaine says:

    The blue gown is magnificent on her!!

  13. Melania says:

    She’s stunning with the blue dress.

  14. ItReallyIsYou,NotMe says:

    I would sell my house for the chandelier earrings with the blue dress (and let’s face it, that still wouldn’t be enough to buy those babies).

  15. Natalie S says:

    The cape makes me laugh a little. It’s Super Duchess! The color is very flattering. Meghan looks lovely and I give her a pass on any clothing issues because of all the recent changes and pressures in her life and on top of that dealing with being pregnant!

    She still needs a better stylist. That late 90s luxe minimalism look she wants can be done so much better. I don’t think the simplicity of that dress in that fabric goes with the earrings but that same dress in a different fabric could be better. The same goes for the white dress.

    • Becks1 says:

      I don’t love the cape-style that is so in right now, but I like them on Meghan because I think she goes for otherwise simple lines so the cape doesnt seem like “too much”. (I was one of the few who did not like Kate’s McQueen from Norway with the cape.)

      • Natalie S says:

        I agree. The cape gives a little drama to the outfit which works because the dress is so simple.

    • minx says:

      Agree that she needs a new stylist.

      • dietcokehead says:

        She needs a proper stylist, not a pal like Jessica M.

      • minx says:

        Yes, she needs someone objective who can also get her clothes tailored to fit. A stylist who knows what s/he’s doing.

      • Franny Days says:

        YES. She needs a stylist and a portable steamer. Tailoring is what makes clothes go from good to great. There’s no reason that she isn’t getting her clothes tailored with all of the connections she now has. Someone would literally come to her house and it would be done in no time.

      • Princessk says:

        Lol 😂 ‘She needs a portable steamer ‘

    • Boxy Lady says:

      I would personally be hesitant to have anything tailored during my pregnancy, particularly my first one. I wouldn’t know how my body is going to change day to day. And if I wanted to repeat an outfit (for the sake of economy, let’s say), tailoring may prove to be more of a hassle with a rapidly changing body. Eh but that’s just me.

  16. The Crumpled Horn says:

    It is ZIMMERMANN (two N’s) FYI.

    And someone pointed out the other day Duchess Meg’s bronzer addiction and now I cant unsee it. Why does she wear so much sparkly peach bronzer that looks like its circa 2002?

  17. Mego says:

    The white outfit is ugh and the blue is fine but nothing special. I am starting to think that designers are just making ugly clothes because I see so much these days that just isn’t great. Sorry negative Nellie this morning…

    • Mego says:

      Ok so another look at photos and I feel differently about the white dress. It isn’t exciting but it’s a modest and appropriate look for the event.

  18. Becks1 says:

    the white dress is inoffensive but boring. Its probably the most boring look in my opinion from the tour lol. I don’t mind the black accessories with it though; black and white are very classic obviously.

    The blue dress though – gorgeous. LOVE it. And those earrings! So glad to see her in a bright vibrant color and she looks fabulous .

    • Becks1 says:

      Also, the reaction to the white dress on the internet is cracking me up, because the diehard Kate fans love it. Of course they do – it looks like something Kate would wear lol.

      • Deedee says:

        My first thought when I saw the white outfit was that’s a Middleton dress, right there. Blah, boring and safe.

      • Alexandria says:

        Hahahaha you’re right. But most of the time I actually think both ladies look nice in them (I’m also boring like them lol).

      • Princessk says:

        I think that the white or cream dress was wholly appropriate for the occasion. Nice to see her wearing different styles and surprising us.

      • Nic919 says:

        The Queen wore white to her first visit to Fiji so I wonder if there is a call back with her white dress. She’s wearing jewelry from both the Queen and Charles as well.

  19. Nancy says:

    Finally some color. The dress isn’t the best, but the color is gorgeous on her. I’m sure all the speculation is she is wearing blue for for a boy!

  20. Chef Grace says:

    Love her style. And the way she cradles her wee bump. 🙂

  21. Nev says:

    Gorgeous.

  22. Aaliyah says:

    She looks stunning in both pics.

    As an aside though, it must be so disconcerting watching these performances as a minority. It must be so weird reconciling England’s history of pillage and her current place in it, with her own previous status as an average half black woman and the history that, that entails.

    I used to wonder this about Pres. Obama as well.

    • Alexandria says:

      As a minority, I was thinking the same thing! Especially being on a physically elevated platform, looking down and not being on the same (socio-economic) level as the performers. My country was colonialised as well. Good point about Obama.

    • OriginalLala says:

      I’ve wondered that as well.

    • Iknow says:

      Such a good point. I am a lover of period pieces and as a black woman, with all the appreciation I have for watching historic television or movies, I can’t ever not think about what my place would be if I were alive during those times. If Meghan is as thoughtful as I believe she is, there is no way she doesn’t have moments of reflection on who she is as a person and the institution she married into.

  23. Maum says:

    That blue is such a gorgeous colour on her! It looks beautiful on her.
    Not sure about the solhouette though- as someone said it’s a bit tight on the boobs and would have looked nicer lower cut.

    It feels like she’s suddenly popped (bump and boobs) and her outfits are not quite tailored for that.

  24. Guest says:

    She looks great. Love the blue. Also you really want a good laugh, the new thing the bitters are trashing her over is “how dare she cup her stomach!”

    • Belluga says:

      Ooh, now I’m keeping my eye out for “She’s so cold and unmaternal for NOT cupping her stomach!”

  25. Chaine says:

    The blue color is fab onher. More like this, please.

    Both she and Harry look tired in the pics. He isn’t “on” with his grin as he usually is, seems grumpy.

    • Becks1 says:

      I know we mock all of Will and Kate’s “rest days” on their tours, but I do think that they should have built in at least one afternoon or morning where they could just reset and relax. I think you can see how tired they are, and they still have a week to go.

  26. Cee says:

    Wow her blue dress really shows off the bump! I thought she had a very tiny bump when it was smartly dressing herself to disguise it. No way they could have not announced it right before the tour. This dress alone would have been an announcement.

  27. Betsy says:

    I love that blue dress so much!!

  28. MaryContrary says:

    That white dress is a wrinkled mess. If she had an actual stylist/dresser, this would either not have been chosen at all, or it would have been steamed before she put it on. The blue is a lovely color, the earrings are amazing. But again, a proper stylist would have realized that because she’s pregnant, the fit is going to be off, and chosen something with a better fit on top. #firejessicamulroney

    • Guest says:

      Maybe they are rifling through her clothing, realizing very little of what she brought actually fits, and having to shuffle things around in an unexpected way? Because she’s showing, now the spanx is off and her boobs are way, way fuller than she may have expected? Hard to project how your body might react especially with the first baby…nah, any babe come to think of it cause every pregnancy is different…..

      • MaryContrary says:

        Your stomach and boobs are going to get bigger. They had enough time to make sure the clothes would fit in these areas. Again-an actual stylist would be attuned to this.

      • Lady D says:

        They have no idea how much bigger she is going to get on this trip or whether she will stay close to the same outline. How are they supposed to have clothes pre-prepared? Should she bring clothing in eight different sizes, so she can fit into one of them? What she needs is a seamstress/stylist that can accommodate her changing body, and I bet on her next pregnant tour(if) she will bring one.

    • violet says:

      @MaryContrary – I agree, the white outfit is a mess. And she doesn’t have a proper stylist, in my opinion, she has a bestie who is exploiting her connection to Meghan.

      It’s true everything shifts physically and for different women, different things shift at different times. I didn’t start looking like this till my fifth month, but there’s no excuse for a woman in her position not to have the help one expects on a long-planned tour like this. Doesn’t she have the equivalent of Harry’s valet, a “dresser” who looks after her clothes on something extended like this?! If not, why not?

  29. Elisabeth says:

    Interestingly, the woman who runs Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor doesn’t think the earrings are from the royal vaults, particularly as the palace has refused to say who they are on loan from and they always confirm loans from the Queen. I saw a few tweets that suggested they were loaned from Camilla. And people are also speculating they are on loan from a jeweler- but then it’s still odd it’s not confirmed. Usually the jewler takes credit for loaner pieces, like with Crown Princess Mary, her sister-in-law, and their loaner tiaras. A jewel mystery! I love it.

    • Becks1 says:

      I love the jewel mystery too! being “on loan” (rather than a “private gift,” like Kate’s gorgeous diamond and ruby necklace that I think we have only seen once) just adds to the mystery ha. If they were from Camilla I feel like that would have been announced. And do British royals borrow jewels from jewelers? I wonder if they are on loan from someone high profile, like the Clooneys? It will be interesting if we ever see her wear them again.

      They remind me of the diamond earrings we see Kate wear, that I think are from the queen’s vault and I think are on sort of a permanent loan to Kate?

      I want to see Meghan in more bling in general lol.

    • Bluthfan says:

      They are on loan from the palace. Not a jeweler. We just don’t know which one.

    • AmyLue says:

      I also thought they might be on loan from Camilla. (FWIW)

  30. Franny Days says:

    Ok I love Meghan. But the wrinkles!! I commented above but why is no one steaming her clothes for her? I pack a portable steamer with me for business trips and it takes no time to steam my outfits. This is just a pet peeve of mine drilled in by my mother who when I was young would never let me leave the house with a wrinkle, even if it was a T-shirt. Just bring a portable steamer next time, I beg you!

    • Amelie says:

      Harry’s outfit is pretty bad too, even worse than Meghan’s dress. You can’t really tell from the pictures here but if you go to What Meghan Wore, you can see his pants and jacket are so horribly wrinkled, it really stands out in the pictures of him, Meghan, and the Fijian Prime Minister. It looks like they either forgot or didn’t have time to steam/iron the clothes!

      • Princessk says:

        Both of them need to take on more staff for occasions like this. I know that they are reluctant to expand their staff as they want to keep a tight small staff and do stuff by themselves. But this is where sloppiness can creep in when you just make do.

      • Franny Days says:

        You are right! I should have called Harry out too lol. I did forget before commenting they jsut got off a flight so maybe it was unavoidable. So I will give them a slight pass on this one.

  31. Flying fish says:

    She always looks like a little girl playing dress up when she wears fascinators. The fascinator was unnecessary, the white dress was basic and looked a lot like something Kate would wear but longer!
    I love the color of the evening dress on Her. The dress would have even better without the cape.
    Her jewelry is beautiful.
    She needs to adjust her blush and/bronzer, this is a constant with her!

  32. Amelie says:

    The white dress is meh, yes it is wrinkled but so are Harry’s pants. I would be really surprised if you were allowed a portable steamer on a plane? Even if you are, some clothes just wrinkle really easily even after you’ve ironed or steamed them. I think this is the first fascinator I’ve seen her wear that I really don’t like, it just does nothing for her and it’s just very… blah? It’s just very flat on her head.

    The blue dress is amazing on her as are the earrings. I’ve been noticing her bronzer fixation, I feel like that will be her makeup no-no, like Kate is with her heavy eyeliner. We all have something!

    • Franny Days says:

      I LOVE LOVE the blue dress. Maybe the steamer isn’t allowed but the Queen never looks wrinkly. They need to seek her advice on her non-wrinkly ways lol.

      • Jan90067 says:

        It’s the fabric blend choice. Angela Kelly, in her book (“Dressing the Queen”) said that they choose fabrics specifically that will not wrinkle (wrinkle much). She said they do the “squeeze test” to see if/how much a fabric will wrinkle.

      • Princessk says:

        Yes, but l just love linen and linen mixes, and sometimes the wrinkle is part of the overall look, especially in my case. I think Harry’s suit had linen in it. Also they need to wear linens and cotton materials than can breathe in tropical conditions.

  33. Lexa says:

    The blue dress is a really nice color, but that white dress needed a good steam! She seems to be slightly arching her back in some of the photos, which makes the belly more pronounced—I wonder if that’s a more comfortable way of standing when the weight is shifting in your body?

    I personally think the earrings are on loan from a personal friend (like JM) and that’s why the loaner is a question mark.

  34. Canadian says:

    They both look wrinkled after the 5 hour flight to Fiji but helluva lot better than I look after I fly.

    She’s so beautiful from the inside out. It is nice seeing her become more curvy. It’s lovely to see her pregnancy glow as she steps out in the gorgeous blue colour.

  35. Meg says:

    I’m so impressed meg is doing so much while pregnant. you can see her little bump in that blue dress from the side-looks like she’s using the Kardashian method while pregnant, wear a cape to cover your arms, back and butt with loose fitting material

    • RoyalSparkle says:

      +1000
      Totally agree – impressive royal work ethics similar to HM and The PR.
      Hope she receives HM Royal Family Order soon. The Duchess Sussex has earned every minute.

      Even before marriage – MM now Princess Henry The Duchess Sussex has been hard working for HM POW BRF/GB CW and the least of – her Prince.

  36. someone says:

    Fiji has been an apartheid society discriminating against it’s Indian ancestry citizens since 1990. The world boycotted South Africa till they fixed apartheid. Why does everyone ignore the discriminatin against non-native populations? There was not a single person of non Polynesian descent in any of the official welcome ceremonies. Aren’t the descendants of Indian and Chinese coolies, that the british brought there, Fijian?
    I’m appalled that the British Government has supposed this trip to Fiji

    • PrincessK says:

      I understand what you are saying but my guess is that the Indian and Chinese section of the population could be better educated and more wealthier than the indigenous populated and may well dominate the business sector of the economy. The govt may just be trying to balance things out with positive discrimination to give the Polynesians a chance to develop themselves more in economic and political life. I don’t know just a hunch from what I have learned from what happens in former colonies.

      • Someone says:

        Princessk, thank you for acknowledging my comment. It doesn’t make it right to take away the rights of the Indians and Chinese does, it?

        Just a few points I Mull over:
        We all talk about how the British culture is multi cultural, then why shouldn’t Fiji acknowledge the culture of 50% of its people. Or is racism not racism if the receipients are considered to be better educated? For the record most Fijian Indians worked and work as laborers on the stage fields and they Came as slaves/indentured Labor.

    • Serenity says:

      Fiji is NOT an apartheid country! That is an out and out lie. You spoke of the apartheid in South Africa – did you even read up on the extent of the racial discrimination that happened there before comparing it to Fiji? Are Indofijians not allowed to drink from the same taps, eat at the same restaurants or apply for the same jobs as Fijians/itaukei? No? So it’s NOT apartheid. Not even close! Stop spreading ignorance on the internet. Jeez.

  37. violet says:

    Evening dress absolutely stunning! At last – a lovely color, great fit including over the bump, very elegant and understated and the earrings work perfectly.

    The white outfit . . . mmmm, pure Kate Middleton and the kind of thing that looks better on Kate, badly fitting and just doesn’t work.

    But at least we’re seeing something different and PRETTY COLORS!!!!

    She looks so gorgeous in that blue down, just sooooo gorgeous!

    She looks great in that blue. Is it me or does she seem much further along than 3 months? More like 5… She’s such a skinny woman and with her first pregnancy it doesn’t seem like she would show until she’s much further along.

    I utterly adore that blue gown! Stunning, and finally, a bright colour for my colour-starved eyes. But maybe a V-neck, though? And I absolutely don’t mind that she’s often clutching her belly to show off the baby bump. At 37 and pregnant for the first time, she has a right to be proud of it. And it keeps her hands off her hair and face, amen! Twins, maybe? She almost undoubtedly had fertility treatments like Charlene. Harry probably wants three or four babies, so the more the sooner, the better.

    The white dress is fug. Wrinkled again, and boring. As others have said, why can’t one of her staff use a steamer?

      On the subject of wrinkles l agree that the dress should have been properly ironed but some wrinkles disappear in steamy climates such as Fiji.

    Their tour has been a success so far with massive crowds and excitement. They are very warm and engaged people well suited to this work.

    I was so busy looking at the clothes I didn’t notice the heavy bronzer at first, but after reading some of the other posters’ comments, I looked again, and she is laying it on pretty thick. I hope she’s staying “sun safe” as they say Down Under she looks like she might have gotten a lot of sun on the beach outings. Or, perhaps she’s looking a bit wan from the pregnancy (you do get really tired in the first trimester and then suddenly in the second you get a sort fresh recharge) and is trying to cover that. But the bronzer is looking really heavy here.

    omg, pluh-leaze stop with the bronzer comments. Meghan is not WHITE!!!!!!!
    YOu are making comments on her SKIN COLOR not her MAKE-UP.
    It’s offensive.
    Her skin is natural. LOOK AT ALL THE FRECKLES!!! I am SURE she uses a sunblock and insect repellent and some kind of base. But the colors, the reds, the shiny bronzes, that could be SWEAT! She looks completely different on the same day the same hour wearing the same clothes. Her skin is gorgeous and alive. Bless her for always loving her freckles.

    • 90sgirl says:

      Yup. Typical some always looking for something to pick at.
      Meghans skin is naturally tan, she’s African American heritage.

      She looks absolutely stunning in everything she’s worn on tour IMO
      And most importantly Meghan works.

      She’s GORGEOUS and she has hit the ground running for real, not just years of talking about doing so.

    • Helena says:

      @Artistsnow Meghan is clearly wearing bronzer underneath her cheekbones. Denying that is like looking at these photos and denying that she is wearing eyeliner or mascara. For those who know makeup, it’s pretty impossible to mistake! Other than the bronzer and highlighter her skin DOES look super natural, but she’s still guaranteed to be wearing foundation as well. Not all makeup is going to hide freckles, especially these days when full coverage is less popular and sheer/dewy makeup is more the style.

      I don’t know if the seeming outrage is because some don’t know exactly what bronzer is and think that Meghan is being accused of darkening her entire face or something?

  43. MeghanNotMarkle says:

    Other than the wrinkles on the arrival outfit I think she looks fantastic. Dressing for pregnancy, especially in the first 4 or 5 months, is super tricky.

    fijian blue is a stunning color. she seems 18 weeks pregnant to me?

  45. Patty says:

    Hmm. Wrinkled clothes, poorly fitting clothes, over done make-up? Seems like a feature in US Weekly. Royals! They’re just like us! I liked the blue but I wish she would have put her hair up. Updo’s are great to showcase gorgeous large dangling earrings. And also not judging but I detect that she has quite a bit of sun damage as well.

  46. liriel says:

    Frankly it’s my least favourite day of the tour when it comes to fashion. Blah.

  47. Littlefishmom says:

    She looks perfect. Wow. She’s probably exhausted. Love them both.

  48. Katebush says:

    The white dress is wrinkled and looks kind of sloppy.
    The blue is a beautiful colour and suits her.
    Commenting on her overly done bronzer is NOT racist it’s just a comment on her bronzer and yep it’s tooo much.

  49. Shaleah says:

    She looks farther than 12 weeks to me. First pregnancies tend to be slower to show. If she’s showing this much I really think she’s further along. I’d say at least 16 weeks or more. Just my theory.
