Meghan Markle danced the night away with her closest friends in Los Angeles Thursday night — but her husband was noticeably absent.
The Duchess of Sussex celebrated her hair colorist and close pal Kadi Lee, who along with her business partner Myka Harris, launched a new haircare range.
The Highbrow Hippie hair wellness range is the latest release from Lee and Harris’ joint venture, of which Markle is an investor.
Markle, 43, was spotted letting loose the brand’s launch party, held at Gjelina restaurant in Venice, Calif. — but Prince Harry did not join in on the celebrations.
The “Suits” alum rocked a black bustier top and a pair of wide-legged pants to match for the occasion, which she teamed up with a pair of heels and minimal gold jewelry.
As the night progressed, Markle even took to the dance floor where she joined a gospel choir that performed at the launch party.
In a clip shared online by jeweler Maya Brenner, the former working royal can be seen busting out a few moves alongside her glam squad and best pals; hairstylist Serge Normant and makeup artist, Daniel Martin.
Normant, who famously created Markle’s bridal hairstyles for her 2018 wedding to Harry, is believed to have introduced the former actress to Lee, the host of Thursday night’s star-studded event.
“Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that,” Markle told InStyle magazine of Lee’s new haircare line. “I am so proud to invest in her as a friend and as a female founder.”
Lee, whose salon is based in Venice, Calif., boasts several A-listers as her clients, including Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Sigourney Weaver.
She and Markle often get together in Los Angeles, and the hair colorist has even thrown Markle a belated birthday celebration at her salon earlier this summer.
Markle, for her part, is no stranger to being an investor.
The duchess is also an investor in trendy oat latte brand Clevr Blends.
Markle, who has been a fan of the brand since its inception in 2016, has been a private investor in the latte company since December 2020.
She even appeared in an ad for the coffee company in December 2023.
