Thong sandals and an Aussie designer: A complete recap of Meghan Markle’s Colombian tour looks.

After touching down in Colombia, Meghan and Harry were welcomed by Colombian Vice President Francia Márquez at her official residence.

For their first official occasion, and the first official reveal of Meghan's arms, the Duchess wore an on-trend vest and cropped pants from Veronica Beard, which is now sold out in most sizes. She finished the look with satin Manolo Blahnik heels.

The duo then took in an afternoon of theatre and dance celebrating Colombia's diverse cultural heritage. 

Meghan wore a midi-dress by Colombian-based designer Johanna Ortiz, decked out with all the things a royal can't wear: a bustier, a cut-out and a scandalous leg split. Werk.

She accessorised with her favourite high-end jewels: a Cartier Juste Un Clou choker necklace, along with the brand's iconic 'Love' bracelet and 'Tank' watch. Cause she's fancy like that.

For the final event of their busy first day, the duo took part in a panel discussion in Bogotá about online safety.

We know Meghan loves a tonal look — she pulled out a previously-worn Victoria Beckham shirt for the occasion, paired with silky trousers from La Ligne.

For a visit to a local public school in Santa Fe, where Meghan cuddled various children and Harry sat at a tiny desk, Meghan continued the brown theme in a $5.6k linen blazer from Loro Piana (ah, shucks, it's sold out) teamed with her trusty black skinny jeans and Chanel slingback flats.

On Friday, the pair toured a sports centre and attended a training session with the Invictus Games' Team Colombia. 

Clearly they were briefed that some sport would take place, because Harry dressed in his sporty slip-ons to join in a volleyball game. Guess the sneakers didn't fit in his carry-on.

Meghan watched from the sidelines in a signature white button-down shirt, and a chic printed silk wrap-skirt from Latin American resortwear brand Juan De Dios. She finished the look with Jimmy Choo strappy sandals.

The next stop on the tour was a drum school in La Boquilla, Cartagena, where they joined a drum circle and wore drumming-appropriate outfits. 

Meghan wore a two-piece outfit by Johanna Ortiz with her 17th pair of brown sandals, these ones by Aquazzura. Harry wore his other slip-ons.

Meghan wore an effortless all-white look featuring a knit tank by Argent and a skirt by Australian label Posse. Repeat: Meghan wore an Australian brand on her Colombian tour. And because this is culturally significant to our nation, here's where you can shop the skirt.

She topped off her casual look with a Boater hat from Colombian-based designer Hannia Char.

For their final day of the tour, Meghan and Harry headed to the salsa capital of the world, Cali. They started the day joining Vice President Francia Marquez for a panel discussion titled "Afro-Descendant Women and Power: Voice of Equity."

The event concluded with a fashion show, showcasing local designers.

Meghan wore a very accessible sleeveless shirt from high street brand Mango, paired with a sequinned midi skirt by Colombian designer Silvia Tcherassi.

Their next stop was a visit to Unidad Recreativa El Valladi in Cali, where they joined youth organisation Jovenes en Cali.

Once again we can only assume they were briefed that there would be salsa dancing, because both Meghan and Harry wore their best salsa linens.
