Halfway through her three-day tour in Nigeria, Meghan Markle shows off the casual side of her personal style in a sexy Johanna Ortiz dress.

Markle and Prince Harry attended an exhibition sitting volleyball match hosted by the charity Nigeria: Saturday, May 11. The Duchess of Sussex took on the heat of Abuja, Nigeria, in a vacation-perfect printed midi dress. The silhouette had all the details that Markle could incorporate without being bound by the royal dress code, including keyhole cutouts in the bodice, spaghetti straps secured by tassels in the back, a bold botanical print, and high side slits

Harry's dress was a classic, but also a very elegant one.

Prince Harry kept it more casual with an Invictus Games polo shirt and dark pants.

Markle kept the energy relaxed with accessories like oversized Heidi Merrick sunglasses, Lorraine Schwartz medallion earrings, and tongue sandals. The carefree sandals were by shoe designer Emme Parsons, whom Markle had paired with a peach Heidi Merrick dress the day before.

Johanna Ortiz is the newest label to join Markle's public repertoire. The designer is based in Cali, Colombia, and opened her eponymous brand in 2003. Featuring botanical prints inspired by Ortiz's native country, the relaxed, cheerful items evoking nature are popular among celebrities.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in the Nigerian capital at the invitation of the Chief of Defence Staff to support Prince Harry's charity, the Invictus Games, and on May 11, before an adaptive volleyball exhibition game in which Prince Harry also participated, the couple spent the first day of their trip He spoke at the GEANCO Foundation's Mental Health Summit. 'Each and every one of you has a story. We all have our own stories. And there is no shame in each of your stories," Markle told onlookers during her speech. She also praised Prince Harry for a few minutes, calling him "inspirational."

So far, Markle's Nigerian tour outfits show signs of a new relationship with stylist Jamie Mizrahi. The Duchess hired Mizrahi, who also works with Jennifer Lawrence and Adele, in early 2024 for Markle's tour debut look, although her minimalist white Altuzarra suit for the May 10 flag-raising ceremony was a reference to past Invictus Games outfits, leaned in the noble yet bold direction she has taken in recent engagements. She began her trip in a backless dress by Heidi Merrick.

When Markle was active royalty, cutouts and extra skin were not optional. Instead, she had to wear conservative suits and sheath dresses that had to be fairly buttoned up. Now that she and Prince Harry are working on projects such as the lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard and two Netflix series, Markle's closet is more playful, even on official visits.

Later in the day, Markle continued her casual-chic attire by attending the official reception for "The Duke and Duchess and the Tit for Tat" in a strapless gown by St. Agni. (The dress is from the brand's Pre-Fall 2024 collection, which is unfortunately no longer available.) Accessories were simple: a cross pendant necklace. Prince Harry also changed into a khaki suit. Attendees posted a video on X of the two entering hand in hand.

The third attendee on the "Women in Leadership" panel, in conversation with World Trade Organization Director General Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, wore a striking red midi dress with a sculptural curved hem by Nigerian designer Oriel. Markle reportedly told the panel guests, "I was immediately reminded that I need to wear something more colorful so that I can blend in with your fabulous fashion."

At this rate, we can expect to see some equally impressive dresses at the entrepreneur's third trip on Sunday, May 12. For now, Markle's first cutout Johanna Ortiz dress is all the inspiration anyone needs to shop for the vacations and embrace the more adventurous side of personal style.
