Meghan Markle gave her followers a rare behind-the-scenes look at a glamorous night out, sharing candid moments from her evening via Instagram Stories.
The Duchess of Sussex attended the Fifteen Percent Pledge fundraising gala at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on February 7, an event held in honor of Tina Knowles for her advocacy and impact in championing Black-owned businesses.
Her stories captured quiet, cinematic moments as she strolled down softly lit streets, stopped in front of grand facades, and soaked up the atmosphere, all to a sultry Eartha Kitt soundtrack.
Emma Grede also shared highlights of the evening featuring the Duchess, describing the evening as nothing short of “magical”.
Rumors are growing that Meghan may be considering a global expansion of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, with conversations circulating about possible moves into the UK and Asian markets. But not everyone is convinced that now is the right time.
According to a source speaking to Closer MagazineHarry would be cautious, mindful of the couple’s recent string of high-profile projects that have failed to gain traction with Netflix.
One of the most talked about moments of the evening came with her surprise arrival, styled by Eric Archibald and Tracy Robbins, the Duchess wore a striking custom creation by Charles Harbison of Harbison Studio.
The look marked a significant reunion between Meghan and Harbison, who have known each other for more than a decade, dating back to their days in New York.
This collaboration has been on their wish list for a long time, waiting for the right opportunity.
Most notably, the design paid homage to legendary Black designer Zelda Wynn Valdes, a detail Meghan personally requested.
Meghan has a long history of supporting initiatives focused on equity, women-led businesses and community-driven change, making her presence at the gala a natural fit.
