A Flurry of Fashionable Wishes for Meghan’s Birthday (UPDATE 8/5)

August 5, 2025 by Susan Courter Leave a Comment

**Scroll for Updates 8/5

The birthday tributes for Meghan rolled in from friends and collaborators, each one offering a heartfelt message—and, in true Meghan style, more than a few standout fashion moments.

The team behind As Ever Rosé kicked things off with a sweet birthday tribute, sharing a beautiful image of Meghan wearing a Gabriella Hearst denim dress (first seen in the People article earlier this year) paired with a Cuyana hat, and accessorized with a necklace from Logan Hollowell—a look that’s refined, radiant, and oh-so-Meghan.

Meghan in People magazine wearing the Gabriela Hearst ‘Margritte’ square-neck linen maxi dress’ in ‘Denim’, $2804 (no longer available) and the Cuyana – the wide brim ‘Ecuador’ hat in ‘natural’, $148 and the  Logan Hollowell ‘Baby Reverse Water Drop’ diamond tennis necklace, $26,995.

Get the look with these alternative options —

Close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen also shared a touching message alongside a photo of Meghan wearing a beautiful Veronica Beard dress, captioned with a loving note of admiration and sisterhood.

Veronica Beard ‘Wixson’ Chain Print Silk Blend Dress, $598 (past season, no longer available). Meghan’s sunglasses may be her Heidi Merrick ‘Santa Barbara’ frame, $225, that she often wears.

Jamie Kern Lima, founder of IT Cosmetics, joined in with a birthday wish and a serene photo of Meghan wrapped in a sand-colored cashmere coat—the perfect blend of cozy and elegant, a Meghan signature.

Meghan is wearing a long cashmere-wool coat in a soft sand tone. At this point, the coat remains unidentified, as only limited details are visible—making it difficult to confirm the brand or style without a clearer view of the collar or whether it features a belt.

At first glance, I wondered if it might be her Cuyana Cashmere Sweater Coat, but that piece is shorter in length and has more fitted sleeves. I also reviewed several options from Max Mara, but none were an exact match. Notably, this coat appears to have a raw edge at the sleeves and hem, with exposed seams at the shoulders—a detail that might help narrow things down.

Check back soon for updates as I continue the search!


One of the most touching tributes came from her best friend, Abigail Spencer, who shares a birthday with Meghan. The longtime friends first met while working together on Suits and have remained incredibly close. Abigail posted a series of throwback photos from 2016 of the pair with this moving message:

“As glorious as the day I met you. Champagne in human form. A creature unlike any other. Thank you for being a sister in this life, and beyond. Words can’t capture. From the rooftops. So grateful for your life, @meghan ✨. Thanks for saving mine. Love, Abs. 44/4. 8/4/81 👯‍♀️”

The sisterhood and sincerity in Abigail’s words are a beautiful reminder of the depth of Meghan’s friendships—and the love she gives to those around her.


Additional birthday wishes poured in from friends and admirers including Tracy Robbins, Kerry Washington, and many more—each one a celebration of Meghan’s compassion, elegance, and enduring impact.

Below, Tracy Robbins’ post on Instagram —

I believe Meghan is wearing here Anine Bing ‘Amani’ cashmere blend t-shirt (no longer available) in the photo with Tracy. I also see her Logan Hollowell necklace again and spotted her Lorraine Schwartz evil eye diamond bracelet.


Kerry Washington’s beautiful birthday tribute to Meghan on Instagram. —

The photo Kerry shared was taken at the ELLE & Tod’s Celebrate Kerry Washington event in New York City, May 2013. Kerry is wearing Lanvin Asymmetric One Shoulder Dress (retail $3,935.00). Interestingly enough Meghan wore the same dress for the American Ballet Theatre 2013 Opening Night Fall Gala, October 2013.

Meghan paired the dress with Christian Louboutin ‘Fleuve’ 100mm Patent Leather Pointed Toe Slingback Pumps in nude and the Kotur ‘Margot’ minaudiare Clutch in gold snakeskin.


Meghan’s close friend and longtime makeup artist, Daniel Martin, also shared his birthday wishes for her in his Instagram Stories, adding to the outpouring of love from her inner circle.

In the photo Meghan is wearing Gabriela Hearst ‘Puga’ dress — a piece we’ve seen pop up several times in As Ever promo photos. 

From fashion to friendship, today’s birthday tributes show just how admired—and stylish—Meghan continues to be.


UPDATE 8/5: Meghan shared a new photo to Instagram tonight, along with a heartfelt message of thanks. I’ve updated my latest post with the details, but I wanted to be sure to include it here as well.

She wore her Valentino Floral-Embellished Mini Shift Dress. We first saw her wear the dress to the Global Citizen’s Live Festival, New York City, September 2021.

I also think she may be wearing her Luna Skye 14kt gold large baguette diamond leaf studs, $2550.


As Ever sent out an email on Monday announcing the their 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available to order on Tuesday August 5 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET.

I’m sure it’ll sell out again in no time!
