Fans have been questioning Meghan Markle's absence after several of her celebrity friends flew to Las Vegas to attend the final show of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour.
The tour concluded in Las Vegas on Saturday night, drawing a crowd of A-list guests including Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble, Khloe Kardashian, Gayle King, and Kerry Washington.
The stars were spotted watching from the VIP section and shared several photographs from the event throughout the night.
Many of the celebrities in attendance are considered part of Meghan's so-called "Montecito squad", prompting speculation online about why she wasn’t with them.

After King posted pictures with the group, numerous fans flooded the comments with questions, including: "Where's Meghan?"
"And no Meghan Markle? I hear plates shattering in Montecito," another joked.
"Where's your other bestie Meghan Markle?" asked someone else.
Meghan previously attended one of Beyoncé’s Los Angeles concerts with Prince Harry, where they were seen dancing together.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, also appears to share close ties with many who were at the Vegas show.
Meghan and Winfrey have been friends for years and are neighbours in Montecito, while King was a guest at her royal wedding in 2018.
Perry famously gave the couple a place to stay in Los Angeles after they first left the UK, and he is also Princess Lilibet's godfather.
The Duchess is also known to have a longstanding friendship with Washington and was spotted with her at a birthday celebration earlier this year.

While she hasn’t been seen publicly with Jenner, Meghan did send her a jar of jam from her former American Riviera Orchard brand in 2024. The brand has since been renamed As Ever.
Just last month, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, appeared on Meghan’s Confessions of a Female Founder podcast.
While discussing working on business ventures with her daughter, Knowles said: "We have disagreements about things, but it's her business. I'm helping with the business because I just want to leave this earth knowing that she, other than entertainment, is going to be okay. Otherwise, we get along really well. If we have a disagreement, it's her business, so she gets to win."
She added that if they argue, she always makes a point of calling Beyoncé to apologise: "We don't waste time being mad at each other."
