Meghan Markle looked glamorous as she went out for lunch wearing a very high-fashion outfit.
The Duchess of Sussex was snapped with her close pal Kelly McKee Zajfen as they stopped by Montecito restaurant Pane e Vino for a bite to eat. The women were seen chatting and laughing as they walked with their arms around one another.
Meghan and Kelly also enjoyed a bit of shopping and each walked out of Wendy Foster Montecito with full shopping bags. For the outing, Meghan put on a stylish display as she wore a number of designer pieces.

She added a simple pair of black Aquazzura ballet flats (£595) and accessorised her look with a pair of Celine sunglasses worth £400 and a thin black Givenchy belt, with a similar piece selling for £260. Meghan carried around her belongings in a black-and-white striped tote bag.

It's clear the womenswear shop is favoured by Meghan as she was also seen there last month. The women finished their girls' day out as they were escorted to Meghan's Range Rover, with her security guard close by.
Earlier this year, Kelly heaped praise on Meghan, who had supported her following the tragic death of her nine-year-old son 16 months ago. The former model sadly announced her child’s devastating death in a post on Instagram last year, after George was found "unresponsive" at the family home.
"The light everyday is dim. I try my best. We are all trying our best. I’m so broken. I’m searching everyday to find some new way to mold the pieces back together and I’m completely aware that it may not all fit again," she wrote.
Praising Meghan on social media, Kelly said her friend was "an incredible friend and mother". She added: "You are always the first to say yes and support those you love. You are a fierce advocate for those who are in need."
