We had long awaited Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 16-day tour [1] to Australia, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga, and New Zealand, and the royal couple kicked things off with a special announcement: they're expecting their first child [2]! Therefore, Meghan's appearances confirmed a tasteful list of designers she trusts [3] to create custom outfits for her budding maternity wardrobe.

While travelling, Meghan wore everything from a blazer from her good friend Serena William's collection [4] to Princess Diana's butterfly earrings and bracelet [5], and she even borrowed from the boys by sporting Prince Harry's puffer jacket [6]. How adorable is that? Read on to see how Meghan glowed on her trip [7] Down Under, working 37 different looks so effortlessly.

She capped off the look with her Manolo Blahnik suede pumps and Boh Runga disc earrings.
