Outfit change! That evening, Meghan attended a reception hosted by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern at the Auckland War Memorial Museum wearing a sleeveless navy (one of her go-to colors lately!) dress with an asymmetrical hem by Antonio Berardi.

If the look seems familiar, that's because Meghan previously sported the piece while cheering Harry on at the Audi Polo Challenge back in May 2017. The appearance was an important one as it marked the very first time that the couple had attended a public event together.
