Here’s a look at Meghan Markle top 10 outfits from the tour
DAY 1
“I’m looking at this time as my chapter of joy. The more you are able to look at your life and really, truly recognize and be able to be grateful for your life—you have to be grateful for all aspects of it. My intentionality is to enjoy this chapter and be able to love through every piece of this as best we can.”

Navy Veronica Beard Sleeveless Suit
On the first day, the royal couple was warmly welcomed by Vice President Márquez and visited a local school. Meghan made a striking entrance in a navy sleeveless suit by Veronica Beard and a Loro Piana handbag. A look she paired with Manolo Blahnik BB 90mm Satin Pumps. Her choice of Pippa Small stud earrings added a touch of understated elegance.
Johanna Ortiz Navajo Weaver Dress
Later that afternoon, Meghan changed into a printed Johanna Ortiz Navajo Weaver dress. A colourful and vibrant nod to Colombian craftsmanship. She accessorised with Lanvin hoops, a Cartier necklace, and Jimmy Choo Etana Leather Strappy Mule Sandals. Meghan’s admiration for Johanna Ortiz’s designs was evident, as she has worn the designer on multiple occasions. Including her visit to Nigeria earlier this year.
Victoria Beckham Blouse and La Ligne Pants
During a panel discussion at Universidad EAN, Meghan embraced classic British style with a modern twist. She wore a crisp Victoria Beckham blouse paired with La Ligne pants, finished with Aquazurra sandals. Her gold Cartier necklace and dangling earrings added the perfect amount of shine, reflecting her poised yet approachable demeanour.

Loro Piana Blazer and Chanel Slingbacks
On the second day, the couple visited Colegio La Giralda, a public school in Santa Fe. Meghan’s outfit was a blend of elegance and sentimentality. It featured a white button-down shirt, a Loro Piana “Jamilla” blazer, and Chanel slingbacks. Her choice of Princess Diana’s diamond butterfly earrings was a heartfelt homage to her late mother-in-law. A gesture that added emotional depth to her ensemble.
Oscar de la Renta Blue Dress
For a private lunch hosted by Vice President Márquez, Meghan stunned in a blue dress by Oscar de la Renta. The cerulean hue subtly echoed the colours of the Colombian flag, a thoughtful nod to her hosts. This practice, known as flag dressing, is a diplomatic gesture Meghan has mastered. In a way, showcasing her respect and appreciation for the countries she visits.
Juan De Dios Polka-Dotted Skirt
During a visit to the Centro de Rehabilitación Inclusiva, Meghan chose to support local talent once again, wearing a white button-down paired with the Amaime Silk Martellato polka-dotted Midi Skirt by Colombian brand Juan De Dios. This female-founded label is not only known for its elegant designs but also its commitment to social causes, donating a portion of its online sales to feed those in need.
DAY 3
“I know how it feels when you don’t utilise your voice when you need to be heard or have something to say. I encourage our daughter to do so—who, at three, has absolutely found her voice, and we are so proud of that.”

She completed the look with a Cesta Collective bag and a wide-brim hat by local brand Hannia Char, blending style with cultural relevance.
Argent Blouse and Posse Linen Maxi Skirt
A visit to San Basilio de Palenque, a historic Afro-Colombian village, called for an outfit that was both respectful and comfortable. Meghan Markle chose a knit sleeveless Argent blouse paired with a Posse linen maxi skirt. Her Emme Parsons sandals and Ray-Ban sunglasses provided the perfect finishing touches, while a locally-made hat from Hannia Char added a special Colombian flair.
DAY 4
“Because we are in your country, my husband and I can feel this embrace from Colombia—it’s incredible. The culture, the history, all of it—was a dream. This trip was a dream.”

Her magenta heels and gold fan drop earrings, a gift from Vice President Márquez, highlighted the intricate craftsmanship of the Chocó region.
Andres Otalora White and Green Dress
For their final engagement at the Petronio Music Festival in Cali, Meghan embraced Colombian festivity in a white and green dress by Andres Otalora. The lively print and flowy silhouette were perfect for celebrating Afro-Colombian music and dance, embodying the spirit of joy the festival is known for.
Throughout their tour, Meghan’s fashion choices were not just about style but about honouring the rich culture and traditions of Colombia. Every outfit told a story and every accessory had a meaning. And, of course, her best accessory was the ever-present smile, complemented by her always-supportive husband, Prince Harry, at her side.
