The Duchess of Sussex may have only just arrived back in Sydney after her official visit to Tonga, but it was straight back to the schedule on Friday evening (local time) – as she stepped out for the Australian Geographic Society Awards with husband Prince Harry. Despite a brief ordeal on the flight over, during which the pilot had to abort their landing, Meghan looked radiant in her Oscar de la Renta Ore-Fall 2018 'Scribble' dress, which she accessorised with her favourite Tabitha Simmons 'Millie' slingbacks. Talk about taking it in her stride, eh?
Meghan also wore her hair down in tumbling waves, no doubt styled by her go-to stylist George Northwood, who has accompanied her on the tour.

The engagement comes after Meghan and Harry spent a busy four days in Fiji and Tonga, where the mum-to-be wore an array of gorgeous ensembles – choosing to make outfit changes each day, and even treating us to two glamorous gowns for official evening events. After arriving in Tonga, she looked sensational in a white Theia gown for a welcome reception with His Majesty King Tupou VI and Queen Nanasipau-u – once again wearing the stunning aquamarine ring that belonged to Princess Diana (first worn at her royal wedding reception, of course).
