Meghan Markle was seen wearing a smart casual outfit while attending a business meeting in the Hamptons.
The 42-year-old was spotted at the G9 Ventures Summer Summit hosted by stockbroker Amy Griffin.
The Duchess of Sussex wore a natural-colored vest and pants by Revolve, which together retail for about $870.
According to Page Six, Markle flew to the millionaire enclave from Santa Barbara, California, on a private jet with businessman Jamie Kern Lima.
Sources told the outlet that she was there to get tips on her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.

Page Six reports that the annual event was held at Griffin’s $13 million home, where she lives with her husband, billionaire hedge fund manager John Griffin.
Other stars in attendance included Gwyneth Paltrow along with Reese Witherspoon and actress Laura Dern.
Meghan’s brand launched earlier this year with an Instagram page and official website in the works.
He will definitely use the event to help his brand by soaking up tips for his new brand.
Surrounding himself with people like Griffin will help him do just that, as the Wall Street Journal notes he is known for his use of ‘soft power’.
This includes making introductions, contacting founders, and offering mentorship.
He started investing as an angel in 2014 and launched G9 three years later, telling the WSJ: ‘There was a moment when I was sitting at a fundraising event and thinking, ‘Wait, I can put money into something, watch it grow, and use my skills and help a founder?’
‘And people said to me, “Why don’t you do this full time? You’re already helping people by buying their products and then shipping them to everyone.”‘
The G9 does not lead large investments but contributes smaller amounts, ranging from tens of thousands of dollars to a few million, according to the WSJ.
Markle shared her company’s logo in a 10-second story video while wearing a black ballgown.
The clip then shows her wearing a simple white outfit while arranging flowers and cooking in the kitchen at her $14.7 million estate.
In April, Meghan sent 50 jars of her homemade strawberry jam to influencers and celebrity friends across the United States.
Award-winning actress and comedy writer Mindy Kaling and actress Tracee Ellis Ross, daughter of Diana Ross, revealed on social media that they had been given the gift jar.
Each jar is labeled with the Californian American Riviera Orchard brand and numbered out of 50. The jars are secured with lids and muslin cloth.
Meghan’s brand will reportedly feature ‘plant-based oils and fats’, jellies, jams and spreads made from nuts, garlic and sesame, as well as nut and fruit butters.
