Meghan Markle stepped out in £30,000 worth of clothes and jewellery ahead of Prince Harry’s milestone.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, opted for a sleeveless halter-neck dress from Italian brand Giuliva Heritage, priced at £1,050, at the George Zajfen Tennis Tournament in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The piece took six hours of “pure craftsmanship” to create, according to the brand’s website.
The mother-of-two teamed the dress with her £725 brown satchel handbag from Carolina Herrera and a pair of matching £620 heels from one of her favourite brands, Aquazzura.
She accessorised with £92 Ray-Ban sunglasses, her £21,400 Cartier gold tank Française watch and a £7,050 “Love” yellow gold bracelet from the same brand.
Meghan styled her hair in loose curls and opted for a summery make-up look.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared at the George Zajfen Tennis Tournament in honour of Kelly McKee Zajfen’s late son George.
The event for the Alliance for Children’s Rights was in remembrance of George, who died aged nine in July 2022.

Meghan is good friends with Zajfen, co-founder of the alliance which supports pregnant and parenting teenagers in the foster care system in Los Angeles.
In an Instagram post on Prince Harry’s birthday, the day after the tennis match, Zajfen and her family thanked the Sussexes for their support.
Alongside five photos, they wrote at the end of a long message: “Extra special day too…HAPPY 40th Birthday H! May this trip around the sun be the best yet.”
Other stars in attendance at the tournament included Property Brothers star Jonathan Scott, New Girl actress Zooey Deschanel, Scrubs actor Zach Braff and Meghan’s friend and former Suits colleague Abigail Spencer.

The Zajfen family wrote that it was an “incredible day – full of emotions and lots of love” and the funds raised would “go directly to supporting children in foster care, ensuring they have the legal protections, resources and opportunities they deserve in honour of our beautiful son Georgie”.
Their post continued: “Our community showed up in a big way and I’m in awe! Get ready for days of posting images of this magical afternoon because I have so many people to thank and shout from the rooftops just how amazing you all are!
“But first, to our presenting sponsors, the Archewell Foundation. Harry and Meghan, you have been such a guiding light for our family not just in the way you have shown up in friendship but how you have shown up through the incredible work the Archewell Foundation does every day.

“I’m in awe of your commitment to community and to friendship. On behalf of the Alliance for Children’s Rights, we thank you. On behalf of our family, we love you.”
The tournament, which has been held for 20 years but was recently renamed in honour of George, featured a round-robin doubles competition and a lunch.
Zajfen previously described Meghan as an “incredible friend and mother”, adding that she is “always the first to say yes and support those you love”.
