As Meghan Markle prepares to launch her highly anticipated American Riviera Orchard brand, she made a surprise appearance in the Hamptons to mingle with fellow female entrepreneurs and potential investors. On Friday, the former Suits star flew to New York City for the G9 Summer Summit, hosted by Goop and Bumble investor Amy Griffin at her Hamptons home. Joined by friends designer Misha Nonoo and makeup guru Victoria Jackson, Markle rocked a chic sleeveless nude vest paired with wide-legged trousers for the big event.
In photos shared on social media by other attendees, the Duchess of Sussex was seen putting a fresh twist on business casual in an airy, oversized Saint Agni outfit. Showing off Markle’s toned shoulders, the linen vest had a single button down the front and was long enough to reach mid-thigh. She teamed the office-ready vest with matching neutral linen trousers that were loose-fitting and slightly flared at the hem. The stylish royal accessorized with layered delicate gold necklaces and bracelets from Cartier and Ariel Gordon, and oversized black statement sunglasses from Heidi Merrick. She wore her dark hair effortlessly slicked back with face-framing accessories for the event.

Cosmetics guru Bobbi Brown and “Worthy” author Jamie Kern Lima shared photos of Markle on Instagram. According to Page Six, Meghan may be taking a selfie with Spanx founder Sara Blakely and Lima, who reportedly flew to the event with Lima on a private jet. In Brown’s photo, Meghan can be seen posing with beauty brand founder and designer Misha Nonoo.
According to Page Six, the budding entrepreneur attended the event to get advice from fellow businesswomen ahead of the launch of American Riviera Orchard. As People reports, she was in good company, with celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Julianne Hough, Naomi Watts, and Mariska Hargitay in attendance to promote their respective brands, as well as the heads of Bumble, Spanx, Supergoop, and Flow.

Markle has yet to announce when he plans to officially launch American Riviera Orchard’s first products to the public (though the jam’s early release is already creating a lot of buzz), but it appears he’s been getting advice from some industry heavyweights to ensure the launch goes as smoothly as possible.
