The Strapless Cady Gown is “cut from decadent stretch-cady” and the daring leg-split created a draped and “flattering silhouette.”
The mother-of-two donned Stuart Weitzman “Nudistsong” heeled sandals in black suede, which retail for £440.
To accessorise, Meghan wore a Logan Hollowell “Fortuna” tennis necklace with diamonds, worth a whopping £26,252.

Meghan’s presence in LA underscored the Sussexes’ deep friendship with Perry.
Their bond began in 2020 when Perry offered his LA home as a sanctuary for Harry, Meghan, and their son Archie during their transition from royal life.
Perry later became godfather to their daughter, Princess Lilibet, further cementing their close relationship.
