Fashion is a big deal at the royal wedding. Whether it's Meghan Markle's Givenchy gown and not-so casual bun or Prince Harry's beard and military uniform, every little detail matters. The same goes for the family and friends of the bride and groom.
And Meghan Markle's mom Doria Ragland didn't disappoint. She arrived at the wedding, which was held at St George's Chapel in Windsor, UK, wearing a traditional, pale green Oscar de la Renta ensemble.
But Ragland's accessories — namely her sartorial choice to keep her nose ring in — stole the show.
The facial piercing is part of Ragland's signature look. In a 2014 blog post on Markle's now-defunct blog The Tig, she described her mother's aesthetic and personality as follows: "Dreadlocks. Nose ring. Yoga Instructor. Social Worker. Free spirit. Lover of potato chips & lemon tarts," according to Newsweek.
People are thrilled to see that Ragland stayed true to herself.
Mama kept her nose ring. I love it! https://t.co/TENTaJ1zof

Right? Mother Doria wore her nose ring and dreads, Bishop Curry was about to break into a preacher shuffle, and now this cellist? #BlackExcellence#WakandaForever#RoyalWedding
