Meghan Markle stepped out this week as she wowed in a simple strapless dress at a charity event.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, attended an event for the Alliance for Children’s Rights in Beverly Hills. She attended alongside her close friend, Kelly McKee Zajfen.

The event coincided with Kelly’s work with Alliance of Moms, which is a community of philanthropists who “support pregnant and parenting youth in LA’s foster care system so that they can build a bright future for themselves and their children”.

Kelly is co-founder of Alliance of Moms.

Alongside a video of Meghan and Kelly posing for photos, one person gushed on X: “How do I get my upper body and back to be as toned as Meghan’s cause she looks amazing!”

Another wrote: “Her arms and shoulders are perfectly toned but not super muscular, I think it’s some magic yoga moves because her mom looks in great shape too.”

Someone else added: “Look at her face card, look at her smile, look at that body, our girl is [fire emojis].”

A fourth wrote: “Meghan [is] absolutely glowing. They keep on hating, she keeps on thriving.”

How does Meghan Markle keep fit?

Meghan has previously spoken about doing fitness classes and her love for yoga and Pilates.

Speaking to PEOPLE in March 2025 about her life in Montecito, the duchess said: “I have a couple of girlfriends up here — these are stay-at-home moms and working women with normal jobs, not in the public eye. We went from just connecting through our kids to having girls’ nights out or doing Pilates together.”

How do I get my upper body and back to be as toned as Meghan’s?

She added: “I go to group classes that sometimes have 40 to 50 people in them and just walk in like, ‘Hi!’

“Of course, at the beginning, that felt like a lot. By the way, I think anybody walking into a yoga class with 50 people when you’re one of the last people that walk in and everyone looks up, it’s going to feel a little uncomfortable.”

Meghan’s love for yoga

Meghan has previously opened up about her love for yoga and where that began.

She told Best Health Magazine in 2015: “Yoga is my thing. My mom is a yoga instructor, and I started doing mommy-and-me yoga with her when I was seven.”
