Meghan Markle was there to celebrate Kerry Washington's birthday, inspiring a look back at their friendship through the years.

Kerry Washington rang in her 48th birthday on Friday, surrounded by close friends. The "Scandal" star turned to her close-knit circle, including Jessica Alba, for a special gathering that was more than just a birthday bash -- it was a night of connection and intention-setting.

The women rang in the “Scandal” alum’s birthday with a special new moon ritual, which called for “fresh starts.”
