Meghan Markle gave 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 advancing black-owned businesses.
Her stories captured quiet, cinematic moments as they walked through softly lit streets, paused outside grand facades, and soaked in the atmosphere, all set to a sultry Eartha Kitt soundtrack.
Emma Grede also shared highlights of the evening with the Duchess, describing the evening as nothing short of “magical”.
Whispers are growing that Meghan could see a global expansion of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, with talks circulating of possible moves into the UK and Asian markets. But not everyone is convinced that this is the right time.
According to a source who speaks with Closer MagazineHarry is said to be cautious, mindful of the couple’s recent run of high-profile projects that failed to gain traction at Netflix.
One of the most talked about moments of the night 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 appearance marked a meaningful reunion between Meghan and Harbison, who have known each other for more than a decade, dating back to their New York days.
The collaboration had been on their wish list for a long time and was waiting for the right opportunity.
Most notably, the design paid tribute to legendary black designer Zelda Wynn Valdes, a detail Meghan personally requested.
Meghan has long supported initiatives focused on equity, women-led businesses and community-driven change, making her presence at the gala a natural fit.
