The Duchess of Sussex stepped out in style on Friday evening as she enjoyed a date night with her husband, Prince Harry.

In photos obtained by TMZ, Meghan looked effortlessly chic in a smart, coffee-hued Heidi Merrick mini satin dress complete with statement shoulders and long, tailored sleeves. Embracing the sunny Santa Barbara weather, the mother-of-two, 41, elevated her look with a cream bucket bag from Cesta Collective and a pair of tan leather sandals from Hermes.

Recreating one of her favourite hairstyles, Meghan styled her glossy raven tresses into a sleek, low ponytail for the ultimate date night look. She finished off her ensemble with a pair of gleaming gold earrings. Stunning!

Prince Harry, meanwhile, looked his usual dapper self in some smart white trousers, a black T-shirt and a pair of suede brogues.

The couple were photographed exiting a local restaurant called Sushi Bar, where we can only imagine the duo tucked into a variety of delectable fish dishes.

Meghan always looks super stylish

Wearing a classic Cali hiking outfit, she paired black sports leggings with a matching vest top and a J.Crew jacket, completing the look with a straw hat, Victoria Beckham sunglasses and a bandana knotted around her neck.

The former Suits actress spent the rest of the weekend celebrating her son Archie's fourth birthday, with news reports confirming they had a "private celebration" at their Montecito home. Meghan is said to have treated him to a lemon birthday cake with fruit picked from their very own trees.

Prince Archie turned four on 6 May

Over in the UK, Prince Harry reunited with senior members of the royal family for King Charles and Queen Camilla's historic coronation. Whilst the Duke didn't play a major role in the ceremony, Harry did enjoy a few light-hearted moments with the likes of Princess Anne, his cousin Zara Tindall and Princess Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank.

For the special occasion, Harry looked dapper in a smart morning suit adorned with his military medals.
