Meghan Markle Helps Honor Tina Knowles at Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala

The gala promotes dedicating 15% of retailers' shelf space to Black-owned businesses, with Tina Knowles honored for her impact on representation and advocacy.

  • On Saturday, Meghan Markle attended the 2026 Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala in Los Angeles, where Tina Knowles was honored.
  • The Fifteen Percent Pledge, launched by Aurora James in 2020, urges retailers to dedicate 15 percent of shelf space to Black-owned businesses and has provided capital and mentorship for six years.
  • In a strapless Harbison Studio gown with black piping and a long column skirt, she paired Stuart Weitzman heels, a black velvet coat with train, and black onyx-and-diamond drop earrings.
  • Hosted by Abby Phillip, the gala gathered designers, stylists and public figures including Kelly Rowland, Keke Palmer, Emma Grede, Law Roach and Winnie Harlow to support the nonprofit's work.
  • Contrasting with recent home-life clips and their Sundance cameo last month, Meghan Markle arrived solo at the gala, not appearing with Prince Harry.
