Meghan Markle’s Outfit Included a Subtle Callout to Her Growing Family
Prince Harry might have missed Meghan Markle’s celebrity-filled baby shower in New York City yesterday (he was back in the U.K. attending military exercises with the Royal Marines), but he wasn’t totally absent from the trip. The Duchess of Sussex found a sweet way to reference her husband on her way back home to London.
Markle was photographed leaving the hotel where the Serena Williams–hosted festivities took place late Wednesday. Under one of her signature camel coats, she wore the sort of athleisure outfit we’d all like to be wearing when we travel: black jacket, black leggings, black baseball cap, and black sneakers. She completed her look with a chic leather carry-on bag, identified as the Le Sud Weekender by Cuyana.
According to a press release from Cuyana, Markle’s carry-on featured a subtle, personalized detail that made it feel much more special, given the occasion. Her Le Sud bag was monogrammed with an “H” on its side, presumably as a nod to Prince Harry. (Customization is an option when you buy Cuyana accessories online.) The Duchess’s luggage of choice is available for $395 on the brand’s website.
The Duchess of Sussex is a fan of the California-based brand, which is founded on the idea of creating timeless essentials for conscious shoppers. She carried its Mini Saddle Bag at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games in Sydney back in October. Her makeup artist Daniel Martin has also designed a capsule collection for the label.
But back to Markle’s latest travel outfit. Her carry-on wasn’t the only sweet callout to her growing family: Fashion blog Meghan’s Mirror pointed out that she was also wearing Jennifer Meyer’s “Mommy” nameplate necklace as she left her New York hotel. (Probably a shower gift.)
The sweet necklace is still available at select retailers for a cool $850.
As for the rest of her airport style, Markle stuck to her usual high-low mix. Her jacket was by Ingrid & Isabel ($88), her leggings were Lululemon’s Align yoga pants ($98), and her sneakers were Adidas ($157).
