Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's three-day visit to Nigeria wrapped up yesterday, and the Duchess of Sussex's fashion was a clear highlight.

On the second day of their trip, Meghan spoke about how she needed to wear more color to fit in with Nigerian women. "I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more color so I can fit in with all of you in your incredible fashion," she said. "I am very overwhelmed. So I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you've all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country—my country." (Meghan learned via a genealogy test she has Nigerian heritage, which she shared on her Archetypes podcast.) So while her first day fashion featured more muted colors, on days two and three, she went for bolder colors and prints.

In terms of her jewelry, Meghan largely stuck to the same stack of bracelets: a tennis bracelet from Ariel Gordon, an evil eye bracelet from Lorraine Schwartz, a gold Cartier Tank Française watch (which possibly belonged to Princess Diana), and a Cartier "Love" bracelet. Meghan also embraced the trend of clip-on earrings, wearing vintage pairs from Lanvin and Dior.

Here, how to replicate Meghan's Nigeria trip fashion—just in time for summer 2024:

For their final event, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the Lagos Polo Club—and Meghan's outfit was reminiscent of what she wore to watch polo in Palm Beach last month. She wore a printed Johanna Oritz gown, Heidi Merrick sunglasses, and Burberry sandals she's owned since 2013.

For a meeting with the Governor of Lagos State, Babjide Sanwo-Olu, Meghan wore flowing yellow Carolina Herrera dress, which she previously wore when the Sussexes announced they were expecting their second child, and for Archie's first birthday (as seen in their Netflix docuseries). She accessorized with her Jennifer Meyer disc earrings (that she first wore in Jamaica earlier this year), plus a collar necklace from Aurate.

She had received the piece as a gift from the Nigerian Diaspora Commission the day before, and paired the new skirt with a white Carolina Herrera blouse.

Meghan and Harry's first event in Nigeria was at a school. “It is a complete honor to have our first visit to Nigeria, [to] be here with all of you,” Meghan said in her remarks. “We believe in you. We believe in your futures. We believe in your ability to continue to tell your stories and to just be honest with each other. There is no need to suffer in silence. Just make sure that you are taking care of yourselves and that begins with your mental health by really talking about whatever's coming up for you.”
