Meghan Markle attends NYC World Mental Health Day event in white off-the-shoulder blazer

The Sussexes are back in the Big Apple.

Meghan Markle looked chic in a white off-the-shoulder blazer and trousers as she attended a World Mental Health Day event with Prince Harry Tuesday, with the couple visiting New York for the first Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, wore a sold-out Altuzarra blazer with wide-legged white trousers and slingback heels for the forum at Hudson Yards, which was titled “Mental Wellness in a Digital Age.”

The jacket — which featured a wide folded-down neckline and two buttons at the front —  brings back memories of the white off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton dress she wore to the 2022 Ripple of Hope Gala.

Markle wore her hair pulled up in a sleek bun, accessorizing with a gold choker necklace with an emerald accent by Logan Hollowell ($4,100) and custom gemstone earrings by Sarah Hendler.

As for Prince Harry, he wore a navy suit with a dress shirt and coordinating blue tie for the summit.

The panel — which was moderated by “Today” show co-host Carson Daly during the World Mental Health Day Festival hosted by Project Healthy Minds — was created to focus on “community and creating positive change for a safer online world for young people.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also visited the Marcy Lab School in New York earlier in the day, with Markle sporting a blue varsity jacket that, according to “Finding Freedom” author Omid Scobie on Twitter, was gifted to her by students at the Robert Clack School in Essex, England during a 2020 visit.

The Sussexes’ day in NYC follows a surprise video appearance from the duchess on Monday, with the royal bringing back an old favorite striped shirt from 2018 in footage from her secret visit to a military charity.

The Duchess of Sussex wore the blue-and-white Ralph Lauren Capri Striped Button-Up Shirt ($590-$690) she first sported at the 2018 Wimbledon ladies’ finals for her visit, pairing it with a chic black pencil skirt as she met families at the Fisher House Foundation in Los Angeles at some point before the 2023 Invictus Games.

The royal couple beamed as they met with students at the school.

This is the first time the Sussexes have returned to NYC since their paparazzi car chase following the Women of Vision Awards in May, where Markle shined in a shimmering gold dress.

Markle isn’t the only royal honoring World Mental Health Day in a blazer-and-trousers look.

Kate Middleton and Prince William hosted a youth mental health forum in Birmingham, England, Tuesday, with the Princess of Wales, 41, wearing a meaningful sunny yellow blazer and special earrings for the important day across the pond.
