Love this look...that color looks great on her. Very appropriate for the excursion. She has been knocking it out of the park with appropriate and simple outfits this tour so far.

I’m not a fan of this outfit as it is not figure flattering. The fit reminds me of the blue and white dress she wore to Harry’s friend’s wedding. It swamps her small frame. A simple caftan in a light color would be more chic. It must be very difficult to plan outfits for extended trips.

I'm really not a fan of this dress. Colour is all wrong for her. And the length and sheer volume of it - no.

I bought the shoes because they look simple and chic, but this is probably the ugliest dress Meghan has ever worn.

Milly,

You're brave to say the truth. It is the ugliest dress Meghan has ever worn. I thought her green striped Martin Grant dress she wore Oct. 26/2018 was the worst....this one is definitely the worst. Olive greens, the dark earth colours do nothing for her. Especially in this awful shiny fabric with no shape. Eeek.

I didn't know what to say at first but looking at it closer, the dress without the head scarf gives me Kardashian vibes. I know it may sound weird but I am a weird person(in some people's opinion) haha

Thank you Elizabeth. Meghan looks great. With our diverse culture here in Cape Town South Africa,I am sure Meghan just wanted to show respect to all our different cultures. We sure are one of the most multicultural cities in the world. Welcome to Cape Town Meghan, Harry and Archie

I love this look. It's a cute color, elegant and, culturally appropriate for visiting a mosque.

This has to be my favorite dress she's worn on this trip. The color blends in so beautifully to the natural surroundings and looks polished but also comfortable. Big thumbs up to her head scarf! What a wonderful touch that framed her face beautifully. So far, her sartorial selections are superb in my book!

Nope. Just nope. This is the sort of dress that Melania Trump wore on her Africa trip , but Melania has an entirely different shape and height.

Not crazy about the colour of shoes. Since she is currently re-wearing outfits, I would have gone with the black flats that she wore to the baseball game.

The dress doesn’t fit her. Really surprised that she would wear something so ill fitting. The last thing anyone needs after having a baby is frumpy, big, voluminous clothes. A dress this color with a closer fit would have been lovely as it is a very unusual color and she can carry it off.

This is a rare miss for me. There seems to be a lot of fabric and doesn't seem to fit well.
