Meghan was spotted in New York City on Saturday for what appeared to be a casual lunch outing. She looked effortlessly polished in a black coat layered over an Hermès scarf, black trousers, and black slingback flats.
Note: Illustrations are being used in place of the original photos of Meghan. You can read more about why at the end of this post.
Later that evening, Meghan was photographed heading to dinner with one of her William Morris Agency (WME) agents Jill Smoller. You may also recall that Jill is Serena Williams’s longtime agent and friend. For the dinner, Meghan wore a grey blazer, black trousers, and a navy blue fitted top or bodysuit, once again keeping her look sleek and understated.

A look at What Meghan Wore for her NYC outing —
Her outfit for lunch included her Max Mara ‘Lilia’ black coat, $3,038.
Her scarf is from Hermès — Eperon d’Or et Tenues de Jour shawl 140, $1,450. I’m almost certain that the color is mastic / naturel / multicolore.
I am not sure which trousers she has on since we can’t see any details. These could be her Anine Bing ‘Carrie’ or something new entirely.
Meghan wore a new pair of shoes from Saint Laurent — ‘Anais’ pointed toe logo bow slingback flats, $875. This style is from a past season collection and no longer available.
She also had on her Heidi Merrick ‘Santa Barbara’ frame sunglasses in black, $225.
She was also wearing the Guzema Mini Sphere Earrings, $2850 first seen on Friday.
For dinner Meghan wore a jacket from Saint Laurent — double-breasted tailored blazer, $2,990 (no longer available).
Thanks to Ellie of Royal British Fashion for helping to find this!
Her top or bodysuit is navy blue and I don’t have any other details at this time.
Her pants could also be from Saint Laurent — wide-leg tailored trousers, $805. I’ve seen quite a few styles and from the little bit of detail I can see in photos these were the closest match so far.
Once again she wore her Giorgio Armani Velvet court shoes with an asymmetric top line, $895.
Meghan also carried her vintage Chanel camera bag style bag (similar below) first seen in With Love, Meghan season 2, episode 3.
I could not see what earrings she was wearing or the second bracelet she had on in addition to her Cartier ‘Love’ bangle.
Her earrings are hard to see and look different from what she has been wearing this past week.
UPDATE 10/13: She also had on the same bracelet she wore to the 805Live Concert a few weeks ago. I haven’t found it… yet! It appears to be a round or oval link stacking bracelet in gold with partial diamonds.
UPDATE 10/13: An additional photo of Meghan was shared today – again she was in NYC visiting Gloria Steinem at her apartment.
The Duchess wore a new coat from Anine Bing — the ‘Portia’ coat in oatmeal melange cashmere blend, $800.
From what I could see, she had on a navy blue sweater. Since I can’t see a lot of details I can only take a guess. It might be her Brochu Walker — The Everyday Cashmere Bright Crew, $428.
She wore her Hermès Oz mules in black, $1375.
Meghan’s belt is old – the Salvatore Ferragamo Adjustable ‘Gancini’ Belt in Black Leather (no longer available). She first wore it at the The New York Times’s DealBook Online Summit, September 2021.
Once again she had on her Heidi Merrick ‘Santa Barbara’ frame sunglasses in black, $225.
She may have been wearing the Guzema Mini Sphere Earrings, $2850 again.
Meghan’s Empowering Message for International Day of the Girl
Just a day before her New York outing, Meghan shared a touching moment on Instagram featuring a photo with her daughter, Princess Lilibet, in celebration of International Day of the Girl.
It was a heartfelt message that perfectly reflects Meghan’s long-standing commitment to gender equality and the empowerment of young women and girls — a theme that continues to be at the heart of her work through The Archewell Foundation and beyond.
A Note About Images and Privacy
You may notice that I’ve chosen to feature illustrations of Meghan’s looks rather than the original paparazzi photographs. This is a decision I’ve thought carefully about.
Beyond the fact that I’m unable to purchase the licensing rights to paparazzi images, I also feel that using those photos doesn’t always sit quite right. When Harry and Meghan spoke about wanting privacy, I believe what they meant was the desire to control their privacy — to have greater agency over what parts of their lives are shared publicly and on their own terms.
That said, I’ll admit I sometimes struggle with where to draw the line. Some moments — like Meghan out in New York for lunch or dinner — feel more like public appearances and not overly invasive. Others, such as photos taken in California while she’s on a school run with Archie or hiking with friends, feel much more personal and not something I’m comfortable sharing here.
With that in mind, I try to highlight Meghan’s fashion respectfully — focusing on her style and the inspiration it brings, rather than on moments that might feel too private.
I’d really love to hear your thoughts on this.
Do you prefer that I continue using illustrations for looks like these?
Or would you like me to occasionally embed social media posts that include the actual photos when they’re already circulating publicly?
And what do you think about Saturday’s images — did they feel invasive, or just part of normal public life for someone like Meghan?
Please share your thoughts in the comments below — I always appreciate hearing from this community.
A quick reminder that we will see Meghan on Tuesday this week for Fortune’s Women Leadership Summit. The event begins around noon.
