AceShowbiz - On Thursday, November 14, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, attended the launch of her friend Kadi Lee and Myka Harris' haircare line, Highbrow Hippie, in Los Angeles. Markle arrived solo, without her husband Prince Harry, and stunned in a strapless black ensemble and matching heels.

During the event, held at Gjelina restaurant in Venice, California, Markle danced and sang along to the music of a gospel choir with her glam squad, hairstylist Serge Normant and makeup artist Daniel Martin. Her happy and carefree demeanor was captured in a video shared online by jeweler Maya Brenner.

Markle's attendance was not only in support of her friend but also as an investor in the company. She spoke highly of Lee's mastery of hair health and expressed her pride in investing in her as a friend and female founder.

Lee, whose salon in Venice, Calif., caters to A-list clients like Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Sigourney Weaver, has had a long association with Markle. In August 2023, she hosted a belated birthday celebration for the former actress.

Markle's business acumen has been evident in recent years. She is an investor in the trendy oat latte brand Clevr Blends and the handwoven basket bags created by women in Rwanda, Cesta Collective.

Her endorsements and investments have had a significant impact on the brands she supports. As a fashion icon, Markle strategically wears pieces from designers she has close relationships with and up-and-coming labels deserving of attention.

The business world is taking note of Meghan Markle's influence. Her small investments can lead to substantial rewards for brands that might otherwise not receive the recognition they deserve.
