To everyone's surprise, the tag of the gown was still attached and was photographed hanging out from the bottom of the dress. Despite the faux pas, Meghan looked radiant in her red ensemble, which paid tribute to the colors of Tonga's flag. She paired the outfit with blue heels and understated jewelry.
Following the official welcome, the couple is set to be guests of honor at the official residence of the King and Queen of Tonga in Nuku'alofa, where they will attend another reception and dinner. It is expected that Meghan will change her attire before the state dinner, as formal evening attire is required for the event.
There is much anticipation surrounding Meghan's choice of evening wear, as there is a possibility she may wear a tiara for the first time. State dinners provide an opportunity for female members of the royal family to wear tiaras from the Royal collection. However, during the banquet hosted by Fijian President Jioji Konrote on Tuesday, Meghan opted not to wear one. On the same evening, the Duchess of Cambridge dazzled in the diamond tiara that once belonged to Princess Diana at Buckingham Palace for the Dutch state dinner.
Reports suggest that Meghan may have been reluctant to wear a tiara during the Royal tour due to the need to travel with such precious jewelry from London. Earlier today, Meghan and Harry unveiled a new statue commemorating Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba, a British-Fijian soldier who died in battle. For this visit, Meghan chose to wear a fitted midi-dress by Jason Wu, complemented by gold leaf-shaped earrings, a bracelet, and black suede Manolo Blahnik BB pumps.
As the Royal Tour continues, all eyes remain on Meghan's fashion choices, hoping for more memorable moments while she represents the royal family in style.
