The Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance in Beverly Hills last night for the Alliance for Children’s Rights. The charity hosted their annual Champions for Children event, and Meghan attended solo (without Prince Harry), but she posed for photos with her dear friend Kelly Zajfen. Kelly and Meghan have been tight for years, and Meghan has been a big supporter of the Alliance for Children’s Rights. The event was well-attended too – other celebrity guests included Katherine Pope (president of Sony TV), Rhea Seehorn and Kumail Nanjiani. I cannot wait for Kumail to talk about meeting Meghan, honestly. And I truly hope Meghan is a Pluribus fan!!
Meghan’s look was simple but elegant. She wore a strapless Ralph Lauren dress in navy – this is RL’s silk cady gown which retails for $3890. But I thought Meghan was broooooke!!! Why is she wearing expensive Ralph Lauren gowns when the papers claim she’s broke?!? Her earrings are apparently vintage Chanel, and she wore her favorite accessories – the Cartier watch and a Cartier bracelet. It looks like she only wore her wedding band and not her diamond engagement ring. She just kept it simple. Also: not to sound like I’m checking her out, but her body looks amazing. She just looks tan and fit and glowing.
This was a good way to cap off a messy week for/around Meghan. The trade papers, the American gossip media and the British press have all been attacking Meghan for days, endlessly regurgitating that asinine Variety cover story. It’s very smart for Meghan to come out and give people fresh pictures where she’s looking happy and unbothered.

Meghan looks toned, sun-kissed and glowing. In addition, she also looks as though she has put on some healthy weight. So proud of how she rises above the noise while living her fabulous life with those who she loves and who love her back.
Meghan also presented Kelly’s award. Archewell Philanthropies (formerly AWF) has been involved with Alliance of Moms for years. Donations and sponsoring, etc.
Keep unbothered, courageous and gorgeous, Queen. The haters are beneath dignity. Love your shining example to the world in these terrible times. Admire you more than I can say.
She looks happy and glowing. This is the kind of look that I think she does best – simple, not fussy, minimal accessories.
Agreed. Navy suits her beautifully, hair shiny but unfussy, emphasizes her shoulders, simple accessories (I love her anklet). The epitome of California style. And you don’t think “what a pretty dress/outfit,” you just see the woman; Meghan’s clothes don’t wear her. Absolutely gorgeous look and I will be searching for a cheaper dupe of that dress!
The “anklet” is the strap of the shoes though 🙂 . Meghan likes (and has several) shoes like that.
She truly excels at taking a minimalist look and elevating it – her outfits are always so much more than the sum of their parts.
She looks happy! And that’s what we all love to see.
Meghan is glowing, but so is Kelly! They both look lovely and happy, and Meghan looked so excited for Kelly in the videos. I wonder if she curated a baby shower for her. I know the decor would be fantastic.
As for this week, it wasn’t really unlike any other week I think in the larger scheme of things for them unfortunately. The media is going to be the media, for the various reasons that they have. I think they’re going to just respond on the record, let people know that they will sue if it steps into defamation, and keep being out there doing what they do.
She looks fabulous.
I really like that navy color on her, the dress is absolutely gorgeous, and her friend Kelly is just glowing. Congratulations to Kelly and her family on the new baby that looks to be arriving soon.
That’s what I came to say, she looks amazing and navy REALLY works for her.
I like navy in general for formal events like this, because I think so many people default to black or maybe white or silver depending on the event, and navy is kind of weirdly unexpected but still very elegant and neutral.
Meghan looks incredible! I had no idea Kelly was expecting a baby, I am really happy for her.
She looked so good! And that’s part of the problem as far as the press and haters are concerned. She looks happy and unbothered.
My sister and I talk about how the press isn’t going to relent when it comes to Meghan and Harry, especially Meghan so they have to continue to live their lives. This agenda is driven by the palace and fueled by envy, racism and misogynoir. It’s that simple. As long as they continue to take care of themselves and their family AND chosen family they will be fine.
One day I do believe the machine behind this hate campaign will be fully exposed and it will come crashing down. I have faith.
They both look gorgeous. Meghan looks sexy and healthy.
Queen Meghan looks absolutely beautiful. Glowing, sun-kissed skin, gorgeous styling, surrounded by friends, and supporting a charity close to her heart. I love it.
I hope you’re right, ThatGirlThere, that the hate machine will be fully exposed and come crashing down. And I hope it happens soon.
No engagement ring? Get ready for some incandescent articles from inside KP (William) that oh no, Meghan lost Diana’s diamonds! Meghan SOLD Diana’s diamonds! The marriage is headed for divorce!! Where are Diana’s diamonds?! This is an urgent question that must be answered before he blows his bald top!!
But seriously, she looks awesome. The left overs could only wish in their wildest dreams to look so healthy, unbothered, and happy.
Okay, we got some color. Navy. Looking gorgeous. I’m a fan of those gold vintage Chanel earrings .
Meghan in minimal jewelry outshines any leftover in a sash with a tiara made of stolen jewels.
Hypocrisy – 100%
Meghan is living her truth and her happiness and success show.Her beauty is so natural and she really does glow, and she doesn’t need diamonds to shine. Meanwhile the Left Behinds are the epitome of Try Hard. They so visibly try hard but when your wiglet and tiara are askew and your husband can’t stand to be around you it’s hard to sustain an image of a happy marriage.
She looks good!
I finally went and bought the As Ever Heritage Library set. I wanted the bookmark honestly. I wanted more peppermint tea (just finished the last bag the other day). Haven’t tried the honey or ginger tea yet though. And will let you guys know the candle is. I am funny about them, but if I don’t like it, I plan on passing onto a friend. I added the raspberry jam and the honey and comb. I also went and bought the brut (pricey but was curious–it comes in it’s own crafted crate), blanc, and rose.
Let me know about the brut. that’s way out of my price range for a normal bottle of sparkling but I might buy it and save it for a special day if its good.
And the special day would be when IT finally happens. IYKYK.
@Becks1 oh we know. I’m a going to be plastered that day lol.
My dad has had some excellent scotch set aside for That Day since 2016. I remember some people telling him at the time that it was morbid and heartless. Most of them have their own celebratory booze reserve now, lol.
I love the candle. I got the poppy one. I think it’s 519. Wonderful. Thought I’d give it away if I didn’t like it. I’m keeping it. Makes the room smell nice. Haven’t even lit it yet.
I bought both candles and neither gave me a headache, which is a huge win for me! I hope that you enjoy it.
It says a lot about Meghan than she can elevate Ralph Lauren and make it look THIS glamorous (personally, I think RL is like, the plain oatmeal of fashion. Oh, it’s the good quality steel-cut kind, don’t get me wrong, but still pretty bland nonetheless).
She is really stunning! And not only the outside but inside too: when the photographers asked her for a solo picture she refused saying that today is about her (meaning Kelly)! Because she’s that kind of woman and friend!
Wow, this is fantastic. Very kind, considerate, and very Meghan, if you know what I mean. A true champion of women, and not one to centre herself at her friends’ events. Thank you for sharing this.
My girl Megan is such a girl’s girl!! Both women are glowing! How lovely for them.
