“Now that’s how you arrive to a new country!,” Australian fashion expert Donny Galella told New Idea, of Meghan’s arrival in Fiji.

“Meghan looks sensational. As we have seen on this tour she loves black and white.

“The side swept hair, black heels, black clutch and the beret style hat are perfect.”

Notably, Meghan opted for a white Karen Gee dress as she stepped out in Sydney on the first day of her tour in Australia.

Of that outfit, Donny told New Idea that Meghan looked “spectacular in white, positively glowing”.

“Very her style, effortless chic, ” he added.

Black and white was also the order of the day as Meghan hit the iconic Bondi Beach with Prince Harry on Oct. 19 in a Martin Grant maxi dress.

“Meghan chose a long maxi dress by Martin Grant. It suits the beach vibes and bold vertical stripes are really trending at the moment,” Donny told New Idea.

Opting for the same colour scheme again, Meghan attended the official opening of the ANZAC Memorial in Sydney on Oct. 20 in a black Emilia Wickstead dress with white buttons.

“So fitting that Meghan wears a New Zealand designer Emilia Wickstead to honour the Anzacs,” Donny told New Idea.

“Her elegant look was topped off with a chic pillbox style hat by the Queen’s Milliner Philip Treacy,” he added.

The following day we saw Meghan recycle a much-loved black and white handbag – as she stepped out with her beloved Oroton Avalon Crossbody bag.

“She first wore it back on April in London with a pinstripe dress,” Donny told New Idea.

“In Sydney she opted for a pinstripe blazer and skinny jean. Interestingly both times she wore pinstripe.”

Fast forward two days and Meghan stepped off her flight from Australia to Fiji looking a million dollars in Zimmerman.
