That’s a wrap! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex just finished their 16-day tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.

It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks for the royal newlyweds — and for fans of the former Meghan Markle’s royal style. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has worn so many spectacular outfits throughout the trip that it’s been hard to keep track, from casual sundresses to showstopping evening looks.

On her final day in New Zealand, the duchess chose a simple, navy dress for a luncheon in Rotorua. She wore an elaborate, traditional cape as part of a formal powhiri, a Maori welcoming ceremony.

In keeping with the blue theme, she changed into a navy skirt with flashes of a lighter blue visible beneath the pleats as she and Prince Harry visited the Rotorua Public Gardens.

At one point, she added her go-to trench coat and an adorable pasta necklace made by one of her youngest fans. Leave it to the duchess to totally pull off pasta jewelry!

The duchess’s blazer game was strong throughout the royal tour. At a reception in Sydney, she sported this fun, menswear-inspired look, paired with what looks like one of her favorite crossbody bags. The bag is from the Australian label Oroton, so it makes sense that the duchess would wear it to honor her Australian hosts.

The next day, the duchess stepped out in a lovely, linen sundress from American label Reformation.
