Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has kept her look fairly casual during her royal tour of Cape Town, but she glammed up for a garden reception at the British High Commissioner's home on Tuesday evening.
The Duchess, who looked stunning in a striped Martin Grant dress, kept her styling simple. She wore her hair loose and limited her jewellery to a pair of gold-and-black statement earrings.

Her leaf-inspired earrings deserve a closer look, and not only because they were created by a young local jewellery designer called Nina Bosch.
Although they look like they've been fashioned from precious metal, the earrings are actually ceramic.
They're crafted from porcelain that's been hand-folded and painted with a black glaze and 18 karat gold lustre.
Called the Flora Leaf Earrings, they're also available in plain gold, white and blue, and retail at a reasonable R400.
“What a privilege having such an inspiring woman, the Duchess of Sussex, wearing my creation whilst embarking on humble humanitarian work in Africa,” said Bosch on Instagram.
