Meghan Markle's baby shower style: the duchess perfects off-duty dressing in New York

Meghan Markle is currently in New York celebrating the imminent birth of her first child with Prince Harry.

A baby shower was thrown by her closest friends, including tennis champion Serena Williams, Meghan's unofficial stylist Jessica Mulroney, designer Misha Nonoo and former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer.

Her time in the Big Apple has seen Meghan off-duty, both in her duchess responsibilities and her wardrobe choices. While on British soil Meghan has recently been favouring cream ensembles and glamorous evening outfits, but for her time off in NYC Meghan's maternity style has consisted of jeans and an array of chic coats.

Leaving The Mark Hotel on Tuesday, the 37-year-old stepped out sporting a vintage Courrèges Haute Couture black coat from 1965, which had been sourced from William Vintage - the second piece of retro outerwear Meghan has discovered through the British retailers.

Meghan stuck to her signature monochrome tones, pairing the flattering peplum coat with a pair of skinny black maternity jeans by Hatch, a brand founded by mother-of-two Ariane Goldman.

The look was accessorised with an affordable pair of £57 sunglasses by Le Specs, as well as Meghan's favourite Stuart Weitzman beige heels and a Carolina Herrera shoulder bag.

Being the ultimate city girl, Meghan later did a quick change for the evening, which saw the duchess hit up Ralph Lauren's restaurant, the Polo Bar.

Meghan opted for a classic all-black ensemble, dressing up the same black jeans with a tailored longline Victoria Beckham coat, which she first debuted on Christmas Day in 2018 along with a Stella McCartney handbag.

She did, however, debut a new pair of statement boots. The £532 haircalf mid calf boots are by British fashion designer and Jimmy Choo co-founder, Tamara Mellon.
