Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, criticized Meghan Markle's revealing outfits during her visit to Nigeria, urging Nigerian women to respect and value their own culture and not emulate the "nudity" of American celebrities.
Nigeria has a population of over 126.6 million, with 53.5% being Muslim and Sharia Law existing in some northern regions.
The comments came weeks after a high-profile visit to the country by Markle and Prince Harry.
While Meghan Markle's visit to Nigeria was successful, her expensive clothing choices faced criticism in a country with high unemployment and poverty.
Tinubu said Nigerian girls and women should not imitate the "nakedness" of American film stars.
While visiting Nigeria, Markle and Prince Harry attended a mental health conference organized by their Archewell Foundation and GEANCO, and visited schools.
The Archewell Foundation, linked to the Sussexes, faced allegations of financial irregularity but claimed to be fully compliant.
The duchess of Sussex incorporated local Nigerian pieces into her wardrobe during the visit.
