Meghan Markle was pictured wearing her previously “missing” engagement ring, just days after Princess Kate made a similar move.
The Duchess of Sussex made an appearance at the launch party for Highbrow Hippie, a new haircare line by celebrity colourist Kadi Lee.
The event, held at the Gjelina restaurant in Venice, California, was described as a celebration of friendship, innovation, and women-owned businesses.
Meghan, 43, looked gorgeous in a past-season black corset top and £1,400 satin trousers from the brand Khaite.

She also wore her diamond engagement ring, designed by Prince Harry in 2017.
This comes a little under a week after Princess Kate, 42, wore her sapphire engagement ring for the first time in months when she attended the Festival of Remembrance beside her husband, Prince William.
Last month, Kate stepped out in Southport to meet bereaved family members of the stabbing victims.
The princess shocked royal fans when her sapphire engagement ring, which previously belonged to Princess Diana, was nowhere to be seen during the surprise outing.

However, the “missing” jewel made a reappearance last Saturday at the Royal Albert Hall.
Similarly, the Duchess of Sussex’s engagement ring has been “missing” at several recent outings.
For example, Meghan did not wear the jewel to visit Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara on International Day of the Girl.
Royal fans took to social media to share their concerns over Meghan’s “missing” engagement ring.

One said: “I find this odd because usually Meghan always wears her engagement ring unless she is at a hospital for safety reasons for the patients.”
Another wrote: “If this wasn’t filmed last week I would wonder if Meghan is copying Catherine again by not wearing her engagement ring and just her wedding and eternity band.
However, several Sussex fans came to the duchess’s defence, with one saying: “Let us know when Meghan Markle ditches her wedding band. Till then, not wearing the engagement ring is a non-issue.”
Another added: “Seriously. Many women don’t wear their engagement ring ALL the time! Plenty of times I’d put mine in our safe and just wear my wedding band.”
