Khloe Kardashian's Starry Birthday Surprise from Meghan Markle!
MEGHAN MARKLE CELEBRATES 44th BIRTHDAY IN STYLE!
The Duchess of Sussex has once again wowed her fans with her impeccable taste and glamour as she celebrated her 44th birthday in style, surrounded by loved ones and luxury.
Meghan Markle, who turned a year older on Tuesday, August 4, marked the occasion with a series of lavish posts on social media, giving her fans a glimpse into her birthday celebrations. The mother-of-two beamed with happiness as she shared a photo of herself blowing out candles on a stunning cake adorned with edible flowers - a nod to her childhood nickname "Flower" given by her loving mother, Doria Ragland.
But that's not all! Meghan also gave her followers a behind-the-scenes look at the festivities while joking she was going to "get a little foodie on" them. The Duchess of Sussex was spotted at celebrity-loved restaurant Funke in Beverly Hills, where she indulged in an "extraordinary" meal, praising the chef and his team for creating one of "the top five meals of my life."
The actress-turned-royal opted for an elegant white ensemble decorated with rhinestones as she leaned forward to blow out her candles. Her gorgeous cake, frosted with meringue and adorned with flowers, was almost too beautiful to eat.
But what's even more fascinating is the fact that Meghan repurposed a closet staple - a £4,000 Valentino shift dress - for the occasion. The white, embellished gown was previously worn by the Duchess at a charity concert in 2021, and she gave it a new lease on life for her birthday party.
Meanwhile, her loved ones showered her with love and admiration on social media. Close pals including Abigail Spencer, Kelly McKee Zajfen, Tracy Robbins, Jamie Kern Lima, and Daniel Martin all took to Instagram to share gushing compliments, calling Meghan "pure magic" and a "sister in this life and beyond."
Kerry Washington, who has been friends with Meghan since 2013, was also among those wishing the Duchess a happy birthday. She posted: "To this beautiful (inside and out) @meghan Love you so much!"
But what really caught our attention is Meghan's new business venture - her lifestyle brand As Ever. The company took to Instagram to share a heartfelt birthday tribute to their founder, praising her for pouring her heart, vision, and magic touch into every detail.
And speaking of As Ever, the Duchess shared a teaser video on Sunday, August 2, showing herself frolicking in the grass at her Montecito estate near Santa Barbara, California. The clip featured Meghan wearing a short white dress as she carried a wicker basket filled with flowers and bottles of As Ever Napa Valley rosé.
The words "Coming soon..." appeared over the video to tease the launch of her new 2024 Napa Valley rosé. Shared on the official As Ever Instagram page, the caption read: "Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner...Cheers to August!"
But here's the juicy part - Meghan announced another product coming to her As Ever line earlier this week, and fans are scratching their heads as to what exactly is new. The brand revealed that following the buzz surrounding the 2023 Napa Valley rosé, they will be launching another wine with a slight tweak - calling it the 2024 Napa Valley rosé.
And in a surprising twist, the company vowed that it will pretty much taste the same as As Ever's first wine. "It marries the same harmony of notes from our first blend and creates an elegant medley of delicate yet memorable flavor," reads a press release.
The brand also posted to Instagram with a series of images showing the new wine resting in beach sand, uploading alongside a caption that read: "Oh, how we love seeing the world through rose colored glasses. Rosé colored glasses? Perhaps even better."
We can't help but wonder - is this just a re-packaged version of their previous wine, or is there something more to it? Only time will tell!
In other news, Meghan also took a moment to share some love for her fans, posting a heartfelt message on Instagram. "Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my brand As Ever," she wrote. "Your enthusiasm and encouragement mean the world to me."
As we celebrate Meghan's 44th birthday in style, it's clear that this Duchess of Sussex is still going strong!
