This might be a shock, but: Meghan Markle’s Nigeria trip looks continue to hit. Just kidding, nobody is shocked.

On May 12, Markle made good on her promise to add more color into her wardrobe while in the country, opting for a flowy, bright yellow swing dress—the same dress she wore to celebrate Archie’s first birthday. She accessorized, per People, with a green striped shawl that was given to her by the wife of the governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

For jewelry, Meghan wore the same medallion earrings and choker necklace we saw her wearing earlier on her Nigerian visit, and styled her hair in an unfussy updo.

On the same day, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a charity polo match, for which Markle changed into another Johanna Ortiz dress. (Do I sense a new favorite designer?) Instead of black-and-white like the day before, this dress has a taupe floral pattern, with a plunging halter neckline and a matching scarf, which Megan wore loosely around her neck. She finished the ensemble with a pair of red beaded earrings and her favorite Heidi Merrick sunglasses.

Meghan Markle’s Nigeria trip seemed to be especially meaningful to her, because she recently discovered through a genealogy test that she is 43% Nigerian. “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, per People. “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.”
