No one does summer style like Meghan Markle. The Duchess of Sussex served up some seriously chic looks during her recent trip to Colombia with Prince Harry, promoting online safety projects and mental health during a four-day visit to the South American country last week. The royal duo was invited to Colombia by the country’s vice president, Francia Márquez, and as usual, the fashion-forward “Suits” alum wore a parade of standout outfits from designers like Johanna Ortiz and Veronica Beard during her stay.

From the big city of Bogotá to the village of San Basilio de Palenque, Markle brought out a range of breezy linen looks, sleek skirts and businesslike blazers — all of which you can see below. Vested interest Markle kicked off the tour in polished navy separates, wearing a Veronica Beard vest ($598) and matching pants ($448). She wore Pippa Small kyanite studs ($680) and carried a sleek ivory Loro Piana Loom bag ($4,700) to add to the professional vibes as she met with Vice President Márquez.



Pretty in pink Markle shimmered in a pink metallic jacquard dress by Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz for her second stop of the day, marking the third time we’ve seen Markle in one of Ortiz’s signature structured midi dresses. The Duchess of Sussex added strappy brown Jimmy Choo Etana sandals ($875) and gold jewelry to her look, while Prince Harry looked dapper in a beige linen summer suit. Down to earth The Sussexes wrapped up their first day of the trip at the “Responsible Digital Future” forum, and Markle was all business in silky brown La Ligne pants ($295) paired with a matching button-up from her friend Victoria Beckham’s fashion brand.

She stuck to the same color palette with her Aquazzura heels ($795) and wore a few of her favorite yellow gold Cartier classics, including her Juste Un Clou necklace ($16,200), Love bracelet ($7,350) and the tank watch believed to have once been owned by Princess Diana. Spreading her wings Markle brought out another special piece from her late mother-in-law’s jewelry box — a pair of sweet butterfly earrings from the ’80s — while visiting with schoolchildren on Day Two of the trip. She wore a brown linen Loro Piana blazer with a crisp white button-up shirt and black trousers, adding classic two-toned Chanel slingbacks and a new Cesta Collective basket bag ($750) for the school visit.

Seeing spots The Sussexes also took in a training session with Colombia’s Invictus Games team, and the duchess repped another Colombian brand for the occasion. While Harry went casual in a polo shirt and sneakers, Markle wore a dotted ivory midi skirt by Colombian resortwear brand Juan de Dios. She added a white silk Giuliva Heritage blouse and her brown Jimmy Choo sandals, along with beautiful Ecksand drop earrings ($3,851) set with emeralds and pink sapphires — possible nods to Archie’s and Harry’s birthstones, respectively.

Knotty and nice Markle pulled out another look from Johanna Ortiz in Cartagena, wearing a black crop top and maxi skirt with a tan rope print to take part in lessons at a local drum school . The mom of two accessorized with an Ariel Gordon pendant (from $1,770) engraved with her kids’ names, her beloved Cartier Juste Un Clou necklace and the same Aquazurra heels and Cesta Collective bag she wore earlier in the trip. She supported another Colombian designer by carrying a Hannia Char straw hat ($91).

Easy elegance The Duchess of Sussex went for a breezy all-white look during her third day in Colombia, pairing a knit Argent tank ($145) with a linen Posse maxi skirt ($250) and black Emme Parsons sandals ($450) to visit the village of San Basilio de Palenque. Once again, she repped Colombian brands with her accessories, wearing her Hannia Char hat and a new pair of Maria E Esquivia statement earrings ($70). Shine on Markle wore yet another Colombian designer as she participated in the Afro Women and Power Forum in Cali, sporting a sequined Silvia Tcherassi floral midi skirt ($1,390) with a pair of handmade gold fan earrings that were gifted to her by Márquez.

She paired the sparkling skirt with a white button-up sleeveless shirt by Mango and magenta suede Manolo Blahnik pumps, along with her usual gold Cartier jewelry. Tee time The Sussexes brought out their best dance moves (and neutral outfits) on their final afternoon in Colombia, with the couple joining young performers in a salsa dance performance . Markle wore another Juan de Dios piece, choosing an ivory midi skirt with floral embroidery.

She paired the piece with a simple white tee and brown Stuart Weitzman sandals ($295). Botanical beauty The duchess squeezed in one last head-turning fashion moment — and two more Colombian designers — at the Petronio Music Festival in Cali, wearing a beautiful green botanical-print Andres Otalora dress ($890) and chunky gold Tres Almas Lab hoops ($137). She finished off the look with strappy black Aquazzura heels ($850).
