As a fashion editor, I had some high expectations for Meghan Markle's Colombia tour outfits. I hoped to see exquisitely colorful dresses and maybe some work outfit ideas—a combination of the country's vibrant fashion and the business-y nature of an official state visit. Markle delivered on both points before her first 24 hours in Bogotá were up, courtesy of a Johanna Ortiz cut-out dress and a twist on the tailored vest trend by Veronica Beard. And then came her third outfit of the day, which gave me something I didn't know to wish for: a pumpkin spice delight that's the blueprint for early fall dressing.
Duchess Meghan joined Prince Harry, Colombia Vice President Francia Márquez, and the advocacy organization Luminate for a conversation moderated by journalist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa to wrap up the tour'sfirst day of programming on Thursday, August 15. Details about the exact substance of the conversation are still scarce, but photos from the event make obvious the early autumn perfection of Markle's third look.
