Some outfits never go out of style.

Meghan Markle stepped out on Mother’s Day in the same dress she wore for Prince Archie’s first birthday party in 2020.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was spotted donning the sunny yellow Carolina Herrera style — which she paired with nude Aquazzura slingback heels – at a reception at the State Governor House in Lagos, Nigeria, on Sunday.

Markle, who pinned her hair up for the occasion, dazzled in the flowing design as she walked hand in hand with her husband, Prince Harry.

She accessorized with an Ariel Gordon Diamond Hex Tennis Bracelet ($5,000), Jennifer Meyer Large Hammered Disc Earrings ($3,250) and a gold Aurate Collar Necklace ($6,000) reminiscent of one once worn by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, during a visit to the same country in 1991.
