The Duchess of Sussex has landed in Texas.

Meghan Markle hit the stage in subtle stripes at the South by Southwest (SXSW) 2024 festival in Austin on Friday, joining the likes of Katie Couric and Brooke Shields for a keynote session titled “Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen.”

The duchess, 42, donned her signature luxe neutrals for the event, opting for a cream-colored silk Giuliva Heritage shirt ($974) and matching maxi skirt ($1,050).

During her time in Canada, Markle wore a series of bundled-up looks including a sophisticated camel wrap coat and an Aritzia beanie and scarf, but she also glammed it up in a green Greta Constantine evening gown.

Along with her keynote panel on Friday, we should be hearing Markle speak out more often in the coming days; she recently signed a new podcast deal with Lemonada Media.
