Meghan's travel-friendly ensemble tonight is much more laid-back than yesterday's neutral outfit, which featured a William Vintage Courrèges couture trapeze coat, Hatch maternity jeans, a CH Carolina Herrera nude tote bag, nude pumps, and Le Specs oversized sunglasses.
Guests at today's soirée included designer Misha Nonoo, Meghan's former Suits costar Abigail Spencer, Amal Clooney, Jessica Mulroney, Gayle King, and Serena Williams, who reportedly helped organise and hosted the event. Some of Meghan's friends from Northwestern University were expected to attend as well.
The details from yesterday's gathering remain top secret, but we do know that Meghan and Abigail Spencer stepped out for lunch together in Manhattan's Upper East Side. After the duo returned to The Mark Hotel together, Nonoo was seen arriving on location. Later that evening, Meghan was seen out to dinner with Williams, SoHo House's Markus Anderson, and BFF Jessica Mulroney.
Meghan's exit tonight comes shortly after Beyoncé paid tribute to her in a BRIT Awards video, on Instagram, and on her website in honour of Black History Month. Queen Bey also congratulated the royal on her pregnancy: 'We wish you so much joy,' she wrote.
We wonder if Meghan's seen the shoutout yet.
