She’s got spring style in the bag.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry joined some famous friends for a sushi date on Friday night, with the Duchess of Sussex looking breezy in a monochrome outfit and an eye-catching accessory.
TMZ broke the story over the weekend, sharing photos of the duo outside Sushi Bar in Santa Barbara as they joined fellow celeb couples Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden and Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk at the eatery.
Markle, 41, sported a brown blazer-style Heidi Merrick mini dress ($475) for the occasion, adding brown Hermès sandals ($700).
She paired the neutral outfit with a white bucket bag ($695) from celebrity favorite brand Cesta Collective that’s currently available for pre-order.
Her dining companion Paltrow, 50, is another fan of Cesta Collective’s designs, with the Goop founder having previously carried one of the label’s blue styles in 2020.
Sophia Bush, Claire Foy and Dianna Agron have all also worn Cesta Collective bags in the past.
The brand’s ethos certainly matches Markle’s mission of women’s empowerment; all of the brand’s pieces are handcrafted by female artisans in Rwanda.
The former “Suits” actress wore her long hair in a sleek ponytail, showing off a pair of gold earrings.
As for Prince Harry, 38, he kept it casual in a simple black T-shirt and white trousers teamed up with light brown shoes.
The Sussexes were also joined by the CEO and founder of Bumble, Whitney Wolf Herd, and her husband, Texas oil heir Michael Herd at the couples’ night out.

While Markle was spotted on a hike last week wearing a crystal necklace designed “to protect your peace,” Friday’s appearance marks the first time the couple has been seen together since King Charles III’s coronation on May 6.
The Duke of Sussex attended the historic event while Markle stayed behind in California with Princess Lilibet, 1 and Prince Archie, 4, with Harry leaving the UK just over 24 hours later.
As for her new bag, we’re hoping to see it on more stylish outings this summer.
