Meghan Markle recently mingled with an impressive lineup of celebrities and industry leaders during a star-studded business summit in the Hamptons. The Duchess of Sussex, who is known for her philanthropic endeavors and entrepreneurial spirit, attended the G9 Ventures Summer Summit, a prestigious one-day event organized by influential power broker Amy Griffin.

On Friday, July 26, Meghan’s longtime friend and makeup mogul Bobbi Brown shared a captivating carousel post on Instagram detailing her experience at the summit. Among the attendees were renowned personalities such as Naomi Watts, Reese Witherspoon, Mariska Hargitay, and Julianne Hough. The summit featured engaging speeches from successful business owners and prominent brands, including Spanx, Bumble, Flow, Hello Sunshine, and Supergoop, as seen in Instagram Stories shared by attendees.

Meghan Markle’s presence at the business summit comes as she prepares to launch her own lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. According to an exclusive source who spoke to PEOPLE, the brand aims to reflect Meghan’s personal passions and interests, including family, cooking, entertaining, and home décor. The brand name is inspired by Santa Barbara, the picturesque California town where Meghan resides with her husband, Prince Harry, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

During the summit, Meghan, 42, was spotted posing for a photo alongside Bobbi Brown, 67, and designer Misha Nonoo. The Duchess looked radiant in a chic summer outfit, consisting of a St. Agni Linen Helm Vest and Overlap Waist Trousers. She accessorized with elegant jewelry pieces from Cartier and Ariel Gordon, as well as a stylish pair of black Santa Barbara Frame sunglasses by Heidi Merrick. Meghan’s effortless style was on full display, showcasing her fashion-forward approach and affinity for sophisticated yet comfortable clothing.

Bobbi Brown, in her Instagram post, expressed gratitude for the event and praised the camaraderie among the attendees. “So many moments. Thank you @g9_ventures for bringing all these badasses together,” Brown captioned her post. “And to your beautiful husband John who sat through the entire conference with a smile. Shout out to my team @jonesroadbeauty @skin.by.chey @charl0ttejayne you are total rockstars.”

The event also highlighted Meghan’s longstanding friendship with Nonoo and Brown. Nonoo, a well-known designer, has been a close friend of Meghan’s for years and even attended her royal wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. Meanwhile, Bobbi Brown has celebrated Meghan’s birthday on Instagram and collaborated with her on several beauty-focused social media campaigns.

Meghan’s latest public appearance follows a series of noteworthy events in recent months. She was recently seen enjoying a lunch date with actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley and a night out with Prince Harry at the ESPYs. The couple also celebrated their daughter Princess Lilibet’s third birthday, marking a joyful milestone for the family.
