The Duchess of Sussex stunned in a strapless outfit during a solo evening in Los Angeles.
On Thursday night, Meghan Markle, 43, stepped out to celebrate the launch of a new haircare line created by her colorist, Kadi Lee, and business partner Myka Harris. The event was held at Gjelina, a trendy spot on Venice’s Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Meghan dazzled in a sleek black bustier paired with flowing wide-leg trousers, accessorized with chic heels and delicate gold jewelry. She was seen joyfully dancing to a live performance by a gospel choir, with the moment captured on video by jeweler Maya Brenner.
While Prince Harry was not present, Meghan enjoyed the company of her inner circle, including hairstylist Serge Normant and makeup artist Daniel Martin. Serge, who famously styled Meghan’s iconic bridal look for her royal wedding, is credited with introducing her to Kadi Lee, the co-founder of the wellness and beauty brand Highbrow Hippie.
Kadi, a sought-after colorist whose clientele includes Julia Roberts, recently debuted a range of haircare products featuring supplements and a hair growth serum. Meghan is more than just a supporter—she’s also an investor. In an interview with InStyle magazine, Meghan praised her friend’s expertise: "Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that. I am so proud to invest in her as a friend and as a female founder."
The friendship between Meghan and Kadi is well-documented, with Kadi previously hosting a belated birthday celebration for the Duchess at her Venice salon. This close-knit group regularly gathers in Los Angeles, enjoying each other's company and supporting one another’s endeavors.
Meanwhile, Meghan has been working on her own passion project—a lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard. Though the official launch date has not been announced, trademark filings reveal an ambitious range of products, including cookbooks, tableware, specialty foods, and beauty items like soaps and oils.
Fans were given a glimpse of her upcoming brand when Meghan sent gift baskets to friends and celebrities featuring homemade jams adorned with the American Riviera Orchard label.
Before becoming the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan ran a lifestyle blog called The Tig, where she shared insights on beauty, food, and travel. Her latest venture seems to echo those roots, showcasing her continued passion for creativity and entrepreneurship.
