[Meghan, Duchess of Sussex](http://time.com/5439694/meghan-markle-royal-tour-outfits/), wore an elegant cream-colored sleeveless trench dress for her first official appearance on Wednesday morning, two days after giving birth to her first child, a baby boy on Monday, May 6.

Markle, who’s been noted for [her savvy and chic approach to personal style](http://time.com/5062929/meghan-markle-fashion-photos/) since becoming a part of the Royal Family last year, wore a cream-colored sleeveless trench dress, which featured a midi hem, tortoise buttons and a tie-waist detail, during a photo call at Windsor Castle, the first time she’s been seen in public since giving birth. She paired it with a pair of nude pumps and kept her hair down, foregoing her trademark loose chignon.

Meghan Markle chose dress designer Grace Wales Bonner to design the dress for the appearance, [People](https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-wore-london-based-menswear-designer-grace-wales-bonner-trench-for-baby-sussex-debut/) reports.

Royal baby Sussex is the very first royal baby for Markle and Harry, Duke of Sussex, who tied the knot in May 2018.

**Correction, May 7:**

The original version of this story misstated the designer of Meghan Markle’s white dress. It was Grace Wales Bonner, not Givenchy.
