Meghan Markle looks sleek in £30,937 worth of clothes and jewellery at LA charity tennis tournament before Prince Harry's 40th birthday
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, opted for a sophisticated look in a tailored, sleeveless halter-neck 'Edda' dress from luxury Italian brand Giuliva Heritage, priced at £1,050.
The timeless piece, made from sustainable cotton and wool blend, took six hours of 'pure craftmanship' to create, according to the brand's website.
The mother-of-two teamed the dress with her £725 brown satchel handbag from Caroline Herrera and a pair of matching £620 heels from one of her favourite brands, Aquazzura.
She accessorised the look with a pair of classic £92 Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses and her staple jewellery pieces, including her £21,400 Cartier gold tank Française watch and a £7,050 'Love' yellow gold bracelet from the same brand.

Meghan styled her raven tresses back in loose curls and opted for a summery, dewy make-up look which showed off her California tan.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared at the George Zajfen Tennis Tournament in honour of Kelly McKee Zajfen's late son George.
The event for the Alliance for Children's Rights was in remembrance of George, who died aged just nine in July 2022 after being found unresponsive in their family home.
Meghan is known to be good friends with Zajfen, co-founder of the alliance which supports pregnant and parenting teenagers in the foster care system in Los Angeles.
In an Instagram post on Prince Harry's birthday - the day after the tennis match - model Zajfen and her family thanked the Sussexes for their support at the competition on Saturday.
Alongside five photos, they wrote at the end of a long message: 'Extra special day too…HAPPY 40th Birthday H! May this trip around the sun be the best yet.'
Other stars in attendance at the tournament included Property Brothers star Jonathan Scott, New Girl actress Zooey Deschanel, Scrubs actor Zach Braff and Meghan's friend and former Suits colleague Abigail Spencer, reported People.
The pictures in the post showed the Duke and Duchess posing with the Zajfen family — with Harry wearing a T-shirt and blazer, and Meghan wearing a ivory dress.

The Zajfen family wrote that it was an 'incredible day - full of emotions and lots of love' and the funds raised would 'go directly to supporting children in foster care, ensuring they have the legal protections, resources and opportunities they deserve in honour of our beautiful son Georgie'.
Their post continued: 'Our community showed up in a big way and I'm in awe! Get ready for days of posting images of this magical afternoon because I have so many people to thank and shout from the roof tops just how amazing you all are!
'But first, to our presenting sponsors, the Archewell Foundation. Harry and Meghan, you have been such a guiding light for our family not just in the way you have shown up in friendship but how you have shown up through the incredible work the Archewell Foundation does every day.
'I'm in awe of your commitment to community and to friendship. On behalf of the Alliance for Children's Rights, we thank you. On behalf of our family, we love you.'
The tournament, which has been held for 20 years but was recently renamed in honour of George, featured a round-robin doubles competition and a lunch.
The Duchess has supported Zajfen through grief since George died – and Zajfen has previously described Meghan as an 'incredible friend and mother', adding that she is 'always the first to say yes and support those that you love.
