Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are halfway through their tour and have just arrived in Fiji to begin the second leg of it, which will include stops in Tonga and New Zealand too before they ultimately head back to Sydney for the end of the Invictus Games.

Meghan and Harry arrived in Suva by charter flight Tuesday morning to begin their three-day visit to the country. Meghan wore a Zimmermann dress and Stephen Jones Millinery hat while Harry wore a suit when they arrived:

The two spent their afternoon at an official welcome ceremony, the Veirqaraqaravi Vakavanua, in Albert Park.

But Meghan's first big showstopper evening look was in the evening at the reception and state dinner hosted by the president of Fiji. Meghan did not wear a tiara but she did wear a blue cape Safiyaa gown (the color a Fijian blue in tribute to the country) and elegant diamond earrings borrowed by the royal family. Kensington Palace wouldn't confirm which member she borrowed them from to reporters, but some speculate it was the Queen. This is Meghan's first state dinner since her marriage.
