Who Was in Attendance?
Though Meghan's New York escapade has come to an end, fans are still eager to hear all the juicy details about the epic baby bash. Alongside Serena and Amal, other attendees included Jessica Mulroney, Misha Nonoo, and Abigail Spencer — all of whom are among Meghan’s closest friends. It’s no surprise that these ladies were present, given their strong bond with the royal. This baby shower wasn’t just a celebration for Meghan; it was also a reunion of sorts for her inner circle.
“This trip was exactly what she needed, and it was a reunion for all of us too, who hadn’t seen each other since the wedding,” said Daniel Martin, Meghan’s royal wedding makeup artist, in an interview with People. “With snow falling outside, it was such a cozy atmosphere. We all sat on couches or even on the floor, sharing stories and catching up. It felt like a family reunion.”

Daniel also gave fans a sneak peek into the baby shower festivities when he shared a photo of the party favors on Instagram — cookies! “Such an incredible day celebrating #babylove,” he wrote in the caption. The picture showcased three beautifully decorated cookies shaped like a baby rattle, a frilly baby’s bib, and a stork carrying a baby in its beak. These delightful treats perfectly captured the joyous spirit of the occasion.
