Music festival style just got a royal update.
For their latest engagement in Colombia, Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry headed to the annual Petronio Alvarez Festival, held at Unidad Deportiva Alberto Galindo in Cali, on Sunday evening. The festival celebrates the country’s rich Afro-Colombian heritage through music, food, art and fashion — and Meghan made sure to dress up for the festivities.
The Duchess changed into a new summer dress instead of the white she had worn moments earlier to salsa dance with Prince Harry. The strappy dress by Colombian designer Andres Otalora featured a sleek drop waist and a ruffled skirt. It was also printed with an intricate leaf-like pattern in rich green.
Harry also changed, going from a light blue shirt and beige trousers to a sky blue button-down shirt and dark blue trousers.
Sunday was the final day of Meghan and Harry’s trip to Colombia, with the couple arriving in the capital, Bogota, on Thursday. Vice President Francia Márquez invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to the country and accompanied them as they toured various cities, including Cartagena and Cali.
“Being in your country, my husband and I feel this embrace from Colombia — it’s incredible,” Meghan, who began her speech in Spanish at the Women’s Empowerment Summit on Sunday morning, said. “The culture, the history — all of that — was a dream. This trip was a dream. I can feel this community, and that’s the feeling that’s the best thing right now.”
