Meghan’s appearance came as she supported her friend Tyler Perry at The Paley Honors gala in Beverly Hills.
Meghan and husband Prince Harry, 40, were part of the Tribute Host Committee Chairs for the event, though he was not present on the red carpet.
The Suits star was there to cheer on Perry, 55, as the Paley Center for Media honoured the visionary director, actor and philanthropist with a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of his career.
Perry was also the recipient of the Paley Honors Award at the bash.
Meghan and Harry have a close friendship with the billionaire filmmaker.
Perry is the godfather of their three-year-old daughter, Lilibet.
It comes as Harry says he and wife Meghan Markle have no plans to leave the US anytime soon.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to Montecito in California in summer 2020, just months after stepping down as working royals.
Harry, 40, has made several solo trips back to the UK this year alone – though remains estranged from much of the Firm.
Speaking during The New York Times’ DealBook Summit without Meghan, the King’s youngest son said: “I very much enjoy living here and bringing up my kids here.”
There are activities he can do with his children that he “undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK”, he said, citing concerns about security.
Harry said his focus now is on “being the best husband and the best dad that I can be”.
The Duke went on to tell NYT columnist and event founder Andrew Ross Sorkin he opposes a social media ban for children because it could lead to family arguments and bullying by classmates.
Instead, he said such companies should be subject to greater transparency and accountability.
He said social media has “already been intentionally created to be addictive” so banning it or removing it, “creates all sort of problems”.
Harry said he doesn’t have his own social media accounts to help protect his peace.
“I try to think at these things through the lens as a dad,” he said.
“It’s not a coincidence that the world has become more volatile and more divided since social media has been around for 20 years,” Harry added.
The revelation comes after he and Meghan, 43, were rumoured to have snapped up a luxurious property in Alentejo, Portugal.
The couple reportedly plan to set up a base there after being seen in the area last September following the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany.
They currently live in an £11million Montecito mansion, which boasts nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a pool and a tennis court.
Harry is also continuing to press ahead with a legal battle against the Home Office over his taxpayer-funded security to ensure his family’s safety.
