On Wednesday, October 15, Meghan Markle made a striking appearance at the “A Seat At The Table” dinner in Los Angeles, a glamorous gathering organized by entrepreneur Emma Grede. Hosted at the stunning home of designer Kelly Wearstler, the event featured a plant-based meal prepared by chef Camilla Marcus and was sponsored by Shop by Google. Meghan, who is known for her lifestyle brand As Ever, brought wine from her own collection, adding a personal touch to the evening.
The 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex stunned in a chic two-piece tan suit, paired with a crisp white shirt and accessorized with a gold chain necklace by Aurate. She completed her look with sleek, slicked-back hair and a pair of black pointed-toe Balenciaga heels. The images from the event, shared by Grede on Instagram the following day, captured Meghan in her element, surrounded by industry leaders and creatives.
The dinner, designed to encourage collaboration among women, was attended by a star-studded guest list, including Rachel Zoe, Maria Sharapova, Bozoma Saint John, Nicole Avant, and Chriselle Lim, among others. Grede shared the significance of the event, emphasizing the power of women coming together to share resources, experiences, and opportunities. She reflected on the long-standing tradition of men supporting one another in business and how women now aim to do the same. “When women choose to collaborate, to champion each other, and to speak honestly about the highs and the hard parts, we don’t just change our own stories. We change what’s possible for every woman who follows,” Grede said in her post.
Meghan has previously discussed her desire to be more authentic online, sharing glimpses of her personal life, such as the lighthearted “Baby Momma” dance video posted in June to celebrate her daughter Lilibet’s 4th birthday. Speaking with Grede during a podcast episode earlier this year, Meghan expressed her excitement to share her true self with her audience. Grede, who admitted to watching the dance video multiple times, praised Meghan for the realness and joy captured in the moment.
The evening’s theme of female empowerment and collaboration resonated with the atmosphere of the event, highlighted by the candlelit table, black candelabras, and delicate cherry blossom arrangements. As Grede noted in her Instagram caption, the dinner series symbolizes a shift in how women can support one another—by coming together to build, share, and elevate each other.
With a nod to the power of collaboration, the dinner not only served as a platform for professional growth but also as a celebration of women empowering each other to make meaningful strides in both business and life.
