Meghan, Duchess of Sussex In Hatch Collection & Oscar de la Renta

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex kick starts 2019 with Kensington Palace announcing that she has been given her first royal patronages since joining the royal family.

Along with assuming two of Queen Elizabeth’s royal patronages—the National Theatre, and at the Association of Commonwealth Universities—Meghan also becomes the royal patron of The Mayhew, animal welfare organization, and of Smart Works, which helps unemployed and vulnerable women back into the workplace.

Today (January 10), she visited Smart Works in London wearing a chic office inspo look.

I’m sure many of you will be rejoicing at the fact that the Duchess opted to wear maternity dress, especially after her ill-fitting Brock Collection dress on her last outing.

Her black Hatch Collection LBD as definitely suited the occasion, which she teamed with a beige Oscar de La Renta coat.

Showcasing her love for Victoria Beckham accessories once again with her top handle Vanity bag, the highlight of this look for me was her unexpected Gianvito Rossi cow-print and PVC pumps.
