Pretty in pink.
Meghan Markle made a rare appearance in West Hollywood, Calif., Wednesday night to attend a pal’s star-studded, pink-themed baby shower.
Taking to Instagram, the Duchess of Sussex’s close friend Kelly Zajfen shared a snap of herself and the royal celebrating Samantha Stone’s baby shower, which was also attended by celebrities like Blake Lively and Crystal Kung Minkoff.
In the photo, the three women (who were joined by a male friend) smiled and laughed while huddled up together in their matching pink ensembles.
Markle, 43, stunned in a light pink midi dress and wore her dark, brunette hair down her shoulders in loose waves.
“I love 💕 a theme. Wear Pink she said!” Zajfen captioned the post on Instagram.
“Celebrating our sweet baby girl coming oh so soon! Adore you @samanthamstone and can’t wait to meet baby Stone ✨💕She’s a lucky little girl to have a mama like you. Love, Auntie Kelly.”
Several other stars also attended Stone’s baby shower, including Lively, Minkoff and “Full House” actress Marla Sokoloff.
The “It Ends With Us” star, 37, looked cozy in a striped, pink-and-white silk pajamas set, while the “RHOBH” alum, 41, wore a cream-colored blouse and pink pants.
Markle’s outing with friends comes a week after her husband had to diffuse gossip surrounding the state of their marriage.
On Dec. 4, the Duke of Sussex, 40, emphasized that the constant attention on his union is “definitely not a good thing.”
“Apparently we’ve bought or moved house 10, 12 times,” he said at the New York Times’ 2024 DealBook Summit.
“We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it’s just like, ‘What?’”
Although Harry, who tied the knot with Markle in 2018, said he is used to the media frenzy surrounding his family, he said he feels “sorry” for the online trolls that are invested in his marriage.
“It’s hard to keep up with, but that’s why you just sort of ignore it. The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls,” he shared.
“Their hopes are just built and built, and it’s like, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,’ and then it doesn’t happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do.”
Rumors that the “Suits” alum and the “Spare” author were headed for divorce surfaced after they attended a few events separately in recent months.
On Oct. 5, Markle stunned in a red dress while attending the Children’s Hospital LA Gala without her usual plus-one.
The following month, the “Deal or No Deal” alum attended the launch of her pal Kadi Lee and Myka Harris’ Highbrow Hippie haircare line and was spotted dancing without Harry.
A week later, it was revealed that the youngest son of the late Princess Diana would be hosting a charity event on Dec. 10 without his wife.
Harry and Markle share two children: Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
