    "Celebrating the woman behind it all. She pours her heart, vision & magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder @meghan 🥂," As ever captioned its post.

    In the black-and-white picture, Meghan wore a button-front, denim blue Gabriela Hearst dress with spaghetti straps, pairing it with a wide-brimmed Cuyana sun hat and what appears to be her Logan Hollowell diamond tennis necklace. The Duchess of Sussex—who wore the same outfit on a recent cover of People magazine—pulled her hair back in a bun, turning to the side and smiling as she posed in her sun-drenched garden.
