On May 12, Meghan made good on her promise to add more color into her wardrobe while in the country, opting for a flowy, bright yellow sheath dress — the very same dress, in fact, that she wore to celebrate her son 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. The voluminous bun left a few face-framing tendrils out for a more lived-in, relaxed effect. As for her beauty look, Meghan Markle’s Nigeria trip seems to see her favoring a staple combination: sun-kissed skin, creamy nude lips and just a hint of eyeliner.

On the same day, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a charity polo match, for which Meghan 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 reportedly said during a panel for women leaders on May 11. “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.”
