The Duchess of Sussex has been praised online for her “effortless” sense of style after footage of her at an art event in Los Angeles went viral on social media.
Meghan has regularly won praise for her fashion and aesthetic choices in her years on the global stage. In March, the duchess announced her first commercial move into the sector with the soft launch of her American Riviera Orchard brand.
What little is known about the brand so far has been gleaned through trademark filings in the U.S. that show moves to protect the name for use connected with a range of household products, including tableware, stationery, preserves and pet food.
On March 21, Meghan and Prince Harry attended an event at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, where an exhibition of art pieces from the Kinsey African American Art and History Collection is installed.

The visit is believed to have been a private one, as it was not announced through the couple’s personal website, which has extensively documented their charity and philanthropic work.
Newsweek contacted representatives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex via email for comment.
On March 23, TikTok user @harry.nd.meghan uploaded footage of the couple at the event. The video has since gone viral, receiving over 160,000 views so far.
In the clip, Meghan is seen wearing an embroidered longline flared cape coat and flat, black pumps.
The coat was made by one of the duchess’ favorite designers, Carolina Herrera, and retails for $3,790.
Her appearance at the event has earned her praise from fans. The viral video has received more than 5,000 likes and 300 comments, with many of them referencing Meghan’s appearance.
“She’s just effortlessly glamorous,” one TikTok user wrote. “I love her style. Like someone dressed for a Nancy Meyers movie.”
“Meghan, drop the skin care routine I’m begging,” another added.
“Wow they look stunning,” a commenter said.
On March 22, the day after the couple’s LA appearance, the Princess of Wales, Harry’s sister-in-law, announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer in February and was undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy.
The couple issued a statement in support of the princess, expressing a hope that she could be allowed the space and privacy requested during her recovery.
“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family,” the couple said, “and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”
