After touching down in New Zealand, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended a reception at Government House, where Meghan spoke at the podium to celebrate the 125th anniversary of women's suffrage in the country. She worked a perfectly elegant midi for the occasion: a bespoke Gabriela Hearst design, which was a take on the label's Herve dress. The midi length and eye-catching cap sleeves instantly conjured images of the Duchess of Cambridge's Preen favourite, which she also owns in red.
While Kate decorated her black number with a brooched belt and Meghan secured a small poppy pin on her navy design (yes, it's actually blue!), both looks are shaped to show off the shoes and just shy of being floor-sweeping fancy. Scroll to see why we were reminded of Kate's memorable outfit, and then zoom in on Meghan's accessories, from her Stuart Weitzman Nudist sandals and Dior satin clutch to her jewels from Birks and Simon James, then shop similar dresses for your upcoming festive soirées and track everything Meghan's worn on the royal tour so far.
