On May 12, Meghan Markle made a bold fashion statement in a flowy, bright yellow sheath dress, reminiscent of the one she wore to celebrate her son Archie’s first birthday. Accessorized with a vibrant green striped shawl gifted by the wife of the Governor of Lagos, Meghan exuded elegance and radiance.
Complementing her ensemble, she adorned a delicate medallion earrings and choker necklace, adding a touch of sophistication. Her hair was styled in a chic updo, with a few loose tendrils framing her face for a relaxed yet polished effect. Meghan’s beauty look remained consistent throughout her Nigerian trip, featuring a sun-kissed glow, creamy nude lips, and a subtle hint of eyeliner.
Later that day, Meghan graced a charity polo match in another stunning Johanna Ortiz dress. This time, she opted for a taupe floral pattern with a plunging halter neckline and a matching scarf, which she wore casually around her neck. Red beaded earrings and her favorite Heidi Merrick sunglasses completed her stylish ensemble.
Meghan’s wardrobe choices during her Nigerian visit held special significance as she had recently discovered her 43% Nigerian heritage through a genealogy test. ‘Being African-American, part of it is really not knowing so much about your lineage or background, where you come from specifically,’ she said during a panel for women leaders on May 11. ‘It’s been really eye-opening and humbling to be able to know more about my heritage and to be able to know this is just the beginning of that discovery.’
Meghan’s sartorial choices not only showcased her personal style but also reflected her newfound connection to her African roots, making her Nigerian trip a truly memorable and meaningful one.
