Meghan Markle is known for her love of neutrals, but after just three short days in Nigeria, she's officially become a color convert. 

And while she got off to a slow start, wearing outfits that were swathed in shades of white and beige, the Duchess of Sussex eventually began to embrace pattern (zebra print!) and bold color (see: her bright red dress). And on Sunday, she was at it again—this time, slipping on a blue skirt that paid homage to her Nigerian heritage.

While visiting Lagos, where she and Prince Harry were greeted at the airport for the final day of their African tour with a traditional dance performance, Markle wore a traditional Nigerian skirt that was gifted to her during her visit to Abuja. She paired the maxi-length skirt, which featured tonal blue stripes, with a white Carolina Herrera button-down shirt and a sky-high gold stilettos.

She accessorized with black, square-shaped sunglasses and gold jewelry, and wore her loose waves partially pinned back with a middle part. 

Markle recently found out that she's 43-percent Nigerian, and revealed that the results of her genealogy test had her rethinking her wardrobe. "I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more color, so I can fit in with all of you and your incredible fashion!" she said during her a panel appearance on May 11, alongside Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization.

As the couple's final event of the day, they visited Ilupeju Senior Grammar School to unveil a new partnership between their Archewell Foundation and the Giants of Africa charity, which uses basketball to empower young people.
