Meghan Markle beamed from ear to ear as she hit the crimson carpet on the 2024 Paley Honors Fall Gala Wednesday evening.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posed for photographs after arriving on the Beverly Wilshire Resort in Beverly Hills for the soirée to help her pal Tyler Perry, who acquired the best distinction from The Paley Heart for Media.
The “Suits” alum rocked a black Oscar de la Renta black strapless robe, which she paired with a pair of Celine heels.
She accessorized with a customized Logan Hollowell necklace in addition to a Cartier Love bracelet.
Her husband, Prince Harry, was not in attendance.
Markle was captured alongside Perry because the duo embraced and so they caught up with one another on the crimson carpet.
The previous actress congratulated the Hollywood director on receiving his coveted award earlier than sitting down at her desk alongside the filmmaker and actress Kerry Washington.
On the star-studded occasion, Perry, 55, acquired the Paley Honors Award — The Paley Heart for Media’s most coveted honor.
The Sussexes boast a detailed friendship with the filmmaker after he famously allowed them to remain in his $18 million Los Angeles mansion after they give up royal life and moved throughout the pond in 2020.
Perry is the godfather to their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
Markle’s look on the swanky gala was confirmed final week. Each she and Harry have been on the internet hosting committee, alongside Washington, Whoopi Goldberg, Gayle King, Taraji P. Henson and others.
Whereas Harry didn’t attend the gala, he appeared at one other occasion 2,789 miles away in New York Metropolis that very same night.
The exiled royal arrived within the Massive Apple to attend the New York Instances’ DealBook convention on Wednesday.
There, Harry set the report straight on the couple’s marriage after they have been plagued with a slew of divorce rumors in latest weeks once they have been seen showing individually at skilled engagements.
Dubbed a “professional separation,” the transfer was reportedly a part of a brand new “twin-track” method to overhauling their picture.
“Apparently we’ve bought or moved house 10, 12 times,” Harry quipped when requested about his marriage. “We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it’s just like, what?’”
“It’s hard to keep up with, but that’s why you just sort of ignore it. The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls,” he went on. “Their hopes are just built and built, and it’s like, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,’ and then it doesn’t happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do.”
The duke picked up the baton from his spouse following her look on the summit in November 2021.
That yr, Markle took half in a dialog with Andrew Ross Sorkin known as “Minding the Gap” about how ladies can attain equal pay.
Harry’s NYC journey comes simply two months after he was final in NYC, having attended a string of occasions as a part of the UN Normal Meeting Excessive-level Week and Local weather Week.
The couple’s separate, bicoastal appearances showcase their so-called new “twin track” method to overhauling their picture.
