Meghan sat in Serena's box -- as she would, since they're friends. Her head looks great (as usual).

This look is totally reasonable and cute for a day at the tennis -- Meghan loves herself some denim (as do I) and she looks very at ease in this. But the star of this shot is the girl in the background, who is clearly thinking "HOLD THE PHONE IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?!" Yes, child. It is. Also: Those are some good classic aviators; I believe they're by Meghan's friend (and ours, if only in our heads) Posh Spice.

Here she is chatting with Serena's husband Alexis before the match. I'm sure both of them want to vomit from nerves here. I assume that's what they're saying to each other.

As you look at this from yet another angle, I am crowdsourcing something for myself: There was a woman at this event who was wearing a tee shirt that said SERENA SERENA SERENA and I cannot find it on the internet. Do we think it's a US Open-only shirt? I want it. Why are my Googling skills failing me? Now I'm having an existential crisis. (Edited: Fug National Elizabeth found it on Amazon AND I BOUGHT IT.)

"Is she still there? I hope the back of my head looks good."
[Don't worry, there are totally pics of Meghan and Anna Wintour chatting; all seems congenial between the Duchess and Our Lady of The Bob.]
