The Duchess of Sussex whose honorary Nigerian name ‘Amira Ngozi Lolo’ means blessed warrior princess and royal wife, wore a number of stunning outfits while visiting Nigeria during a three day visit. She wowed in playful printed tropical dresses, chic column midis and colorful ruffled gowns. The former Suits star also received raves for her canary colored silk gown from Carolina Herrera which had symbolic ties to her children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
For the first outing on Day 2 (Day 1 Here), Meghan wore a Joanna Ortiz Tropicana Nights wool-silk midi dress in ecru black at a volleyball game. She paired the palm print dress featuring a front slit and sweetheart neckline with her Emme Parsons Cecilia leather calfskin thong sandals. For jewelry, she wore her Jennifer Meyer large hammered disc earrings, her Ariel Gordon bracelet and Lorraine Schwartz Against Evil Eye bracelet. She also wore new Heidi Merrick Ex-Pat sunglasses.
For the next outing of the day, the duchess attended a military reception and donned a St. Agni white column tube dress. She paired the sleek strapless dress with Aquazzura So nude sandals and Dior Love Knot vintage clip on earrings (similar).
For her final appearance on day three, Meghan looked sensational in a red ruffle hemmed dress by Orire called the Dire. The duchess paired the vibrant scarlet dress with her Aquazzura So Nude 105 beige sandals and some repeat accessories including her Kimai Semi Hoop earrings with lab grown diamonds and her Logan Hollowell Baby Reverse Water Drop diamond tennis necklace.
For day three, Meghan and Harry attended a basketball game in Lagos. For the event, the duchess wore traditional dress including an Aso Oke (gifted to her the previous day) with a Carolina Herrera classic white shirt.

At the State Governor’s House in Lagos, Meghan recycled her yellow ‘taxi cab’ hued Carolina Herrera silk overlay column gown. (Previously worn for Princess Lilibet’s pregnancy announcement in 2021 in a photo taken by Misan Harriman as well as featured in Prince Archie’s birthday on Netflix). The dress choice was thought to be a tribute for her children in honor of Mother’s Day.
