It’s Old Hollywood Glamour for Meghan at the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala in Los Angeles (UPDATED 2/10)

*Scroll for updates 2/10

Last night Meghan attended The 2026 Fifteen Percent Pledge Fundraising Gala held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, California wearing a custom gown from Harbison Studio.

The Fifteen Percent Pledge organization, founded by Aurora James, urges U.S. retailers to commit at least fifteen percent of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses — a commitment to equity that’s about building economic opportunity where it’s long been denied.

The event fell during Black History Month — a time set aside to honor Black achievement, creativity, and community. Meghan’s presence underscored both the cultural moment and the mission behind the event. Her look wasn’t just a fashion choice — it was a message of celebration and support.

For the gala, Meghan embraced a vibe that felt straight out of classic Hollywood. She stepped out in a custom oyster-colored strapless column gown by Harbison Studio. The minimalist yet bold silhouette was finished with black piping at the sweetheart neckline and a dramatic black velvet and silk shawl that trailed elegantly behind her. She paired the look with her Stuart Weitzman sandals and statement earrings.

Harbison Studio, an LA-born luxury label founded by designer Charles Harbison is known for marrying playful creativity with refined structure, Harbison’s pieces have captured attention for their joyful use of fabric and sharp tailoring.

The gala brought together a diverse roster of celebrities, creatives, and activists, all united by the same cause: expanding economic opportunities for Black entrepreneurs and creators.

Honoree Tina Knowles was celebrated for her remarkable impact on community empowerment, adding even more heart to an evening already steeped in meaning.

The real story of last night is what the event stands for: equity, visibility, opportunity. During Black History Month, the gala served as both a celebration and a call to action — honoring achievements while pushing for more doors to open, more voices to be heard, and more shelf space to be filled with Black-owned goods and creativity.

Meghan’s presence helped amplify that mission, and in doing so she reminded us that fashion can be fun and purposeful.

UPDATE 2/10: Meghan wore vintage pieces from Maison Mèrenor — onyx and diamond pendant earrings and a fluted bombe ring, both circa 1970s.

UPDATE: I have more information on Meghan’s vintage ring. It is an 18K yellow gold onyx and diamond ring by “R.Stone” and dates back to the 1960’s according to 18 Karat Appraisers. According to 18 Karat Appraisers the ring’s description is as follows —

“18K-YG ONYX AND DIAMOND RING WITH FLUTED ONYX PORTION AND 18 TRANS. RBC DIA.= 1 CT., G-H / VS-2. TEXTURED GOLD WORK. SIZE 8.5, TW= 30 GRAMS. SIGNED: “R.STONE”. CIRCA 1960S.”

The ring appraised at $9,450.
