**Meghan Markle Radiates Glamour at Star-Studded LA Launch Party Without Prince Harry**

This week, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, graced a glamorous launch event in Los Angeles without Prince Harry, enjoying a night out with friends at the celeb-favored restaurant Gjelina in Venice, California. The 43-year-old Duchess attended the event to support Kadi Lee, a renowned hairdresser and her friend, at the launch of Lee’s new Highbrow Hippie hair wellness range—a brand Meghan has recently invested in.

Markle dazzled in a chic £660 black top with a sweetheart neckline by New York brand Khaite, paired with stylish wide-leg trousers. The Duchess completed her elegant look with gold earrings, a delicate matching necklace, several rings, and strappy heels. Sporting a glamorous makeup style and curled hair, Meghan appeared radiant as she mingled with guests.

Photographs from the evening show Meghan dancing joyously with her friends to a gospel choir performance. Among her companions were makeup artist Daniel Martin and celebrity hairstylist Serge Normant, who famously styled Meghan’s hair for her wedding in 2018.

Expressing her pride in supporting the Highbrow Hippie collection, Meghan remarked on Kadi Lee’s exceptional skills in hair health, calling the collection a perfect reflection of Lee's expertise. Lee, whose clientele includes Hollywood stars like Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt, co-founded the Highbrow Hippie salon in 2019 with Myka Harris. The salon, also offering products promoting conscious living, has garnered a notable reputation in the bohemian LA neighborhood of Venice.

Meghan’s solo appearances have become more frequent in recent months, signaling her active engagement in her personal investments and support for her friends' entrepreneurial ventures.
