Meghan Markle's First Outfit Change of Her Nigeria Tour Sure Looks Familiar

It didn't take long for Meghan Markle to change into her second major look of her Nigeria tour. This time, she reverted back to an outfit formula style watchers will definitely recognize.

After starting the day in a peach sundress by Heidi Merrick for a welcome address, Markle switched gears for a trip to the Defense Headquarters with a business-chic suit by Altuzarra. Her set, most likely styled by Jamie Mizrahi, featured a single-breasted blazer and trousers with a slight flare hem. Prince Harry strode by her side in a sharp blue suit of his own.

Markle also gave her accessories line-up a slight adjustment. She took off the oversize vintage Lanvin earrings and Ariel Gordon bracelet from the morning, leaving only her Aurate chain necklace behind. For footwear, she slipped into a pair of brown pointed-toe heels by Manolo Blahnik.

Markle's crisp white suit gave off the stately energy one would expect for a formal visit with government officials. In contrast, she'd started the day in a backless dress resembling the St. Agni and Heidi Merrick pieces she wore to a Sentebale polo fundraiser in April.

Her morning look, also by Heidi Merrick, had a sleeveless, backless silhouette and a tiered skirt. She paired it with minimalist sandals by Emme Parsons.

Back to the white pantsuit: While the exact set is new to Markle's wardrobe, white blazers and coordinating trousers are clearly within her comfort zone. The Duchess of Sussex wore a white, double-breasted Valentino suit to the 2022 Invictus Games hosted in the Netherlands. She also styled a white blazer with jeans for one of her earliest Invictus Games appearances, in Australia in 2018.

All the outfits Markle wears over the course of her three-day trip to Nigeria will provide a closer look at her aesthetic direction under stylist Jamie Mizrahi. Reports surfaced earlier this year that Markle had hired Mizrahi, who also works with Jennifer Lawrence and Adele, to refine her personal style. The move coincides with several new image-building ventures for Markle, including her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

While the backless, cutout dresses of earlier engagements were a bold shift for the former royal, her collection of white pantsuits is right on-par with the outfits she'd wear for engagements in the past. (Not to mention, they're a blueprint for business-chic dressing.) Maybe Markle's new style era isn't so different after all.
