Meghan Markle, visit to Nigeria in the “peach blossom” duchess version

A “peach blossom” duchess. It won't be like the one worn by the famous woman Barbiebut the dress sported by Meghan Markle for his first day of tour in Nigeria together with Harry carried out at the invitation of the country's chief of defense staff, General Christopher Musa, recalls precisely that Peach Fuzz Named Pantone Color of 2024.

It is not surprising that the Duchess chooses a neutral tone for this trip to the African country dear to the Sussexes' hearts. A choice initially dictated by reasons of opportunity in the period in which it was an active member of the Royal Familya way to avoid creating a chromatic embarrassment with the other royals, from Queen Elizabeth to move down the hierarchical ladder.

Those types of colors which, to be honest, suit Meghan a lot, have become absolutely trendy also thanks to her. The royal is a great “exponent” of the quiet luxurya silent luxury that is nourished by shades ranging from white to beige and also peach.

The sleeveless dress with a bare back is floor-length. Simple only at a superficial glance, it has a dart at the waist (is it a two-piece perhaps?) and a series of seams that give that slight movement to the skirt.

At the lobes they stand out a pair of vintage clip earrings by Lanvin. Jewelry of this type seems to have become Meghan Markle's latest passion. A few weeks ago at the polo tournament in support of the charity Sentebal he had worn a pair of button-up ones, still vintage, but designer ones Chanel. Around her neck she wears a rigid golden necklace to which has been added another necklace made of wooden beads, given to both Harry and Meghan as a welcome gift.

Meghan's informal yet elegant outfit paired well with Harry's relaxed, sand-colored outfit. The couple presents themselves in a way that would never have been allowed if they had not been “divorced” from the royal family. Meghan's bare back it would have been seen as an affront without mentioning that linen shirt worn untucked by King Charles' youngest son.

Freed both from the label (and not only), they strip themselves of everything dress code to dress like ordinary mortals do, those, so to speak, who don't have blue blood flowing in their veins. It could be that Meghan just liked that peach dress but if we go and see the hidden meanings of that color we could start acting behind the scenes.
