Duchess Meghan showcases baby bump in dazzling $2000 gown

The Duchess of Sussex has attended her first evening engagement in Fiji with Prince Harry, and when it came to her outfit choice, she did not disappoint.

The event, which was hosted by the President of Fiji, H.E. Jioji K. Konrote and his wife, First Lady Sarote Knorote, was held at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva.

The Duchess opted for a floor length, cape-style gown by London-based designer SAFiyAA, with the periwinkle blue colour of the dress being the exact shade as the Fijian flag.

The dress, which is sold under the name Ginkgo cape dress, is priced at a hefty $2000 on the brand's website.

Meghan was seen cradling her growing baby bump as she met with the country’s officials.  

This is just one of the many engagements the Duke and Duchess have conducted in their itinerary, as the couple takes part in a 16-day tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.

Meghan chose to ditch the messy bun and opted for loose waves instead as she kept her look sleek and polished with a centre part and her brunette locks tucked behind her ears.

But it was her stunning earrings that stole the show, as the royal chose to keep the rest of her look minimal with no other jewellery in sight.

Kensington Palace confirmed to The Sun’s royal correspondent Emily Andrews that the opulent accessory was a “borrowed” item, but it is unclear as to whether they are a part of the royal collection.

The Duke and Duchess landed in Nausori airport in Fiji on Tuesday afternoon, where the Duchess was spotted wearing a customised dress by Australian label Zimmermann. She paired the white midi-length dress with a headpiece by Stephen Jones millinery.

She also carried a Kayu Anna Black Straw Clutch (AU$159) and wore her tried and true “Millie” pumps by Tabitha Simmons.

Soon after reaching the Grand Pacific Hotel, the couple stood on the balcony waving to fans and onlookers, a gesture that the Queen and Prince Philip also took part in during their visit to Fiji in 1953.

Harry and Meghan will take part in a three-day tour of Fiji, where they will be treated to dance performances, the presentation of Tabua and a Kava ceremony.
