Jennifer Gates, the newlywed, was photographed shopping in New York City along with Melinda French Gates on Sunday.
The 25-year-old, who married fellow equestrian Nayel Nassar in a lavish ceremony last month in North Salem, New York, was dressed casually for the outing in blue jeans, a cream-colored turtleneck sweater, and black boots, while her mother threw a blue coat on over black sweatpants and sneakers.
The masked mother and daughter duo, though they were dressed casually for the Upper East Side shopping tour, looked no less expensive than what one would expect from an ultra-rich family.
Jennifer carried a $3,800 Dior bag over her shoulder, while Melinda held onto a Balenciaga tote, which originally sold for over $1,000.
Jennifer was also sporting the massive diamond engagement ring that Nayel proposed with, though she seems to have taken off the chunky diamond band she was seen sporting just ahead of their nuptials.

Masks were worn outside by the Gates ladies to hide any reddening from treatment.
The girls’ day out comes a month after Jennifer officially became a Mrs., saying ‘I do’ to Nayel, 30, on October 16, 2021, at the couple’s farm in Westchester, New York, and in the weeks since, she has offered up new photos of the lavish event.
Last week she took a photo of herself and her bridesmaids. She flashed her garter as well as held her bouquet.
Jennifer flashed the garter with her bridesmaids in a photo taken together, which included her younger sister Phoebe.
In honor of her father’s birthday, she also shared a photo of herself and Bill Gates.
“One of many fairytale moments. Walking amongst fall leaves with my favourite women just before the ceremony. Thank you @dolcegabbana, @verawanggang, @lauraspinellalovett, and all the artists who made us all feel so radiant,’ she wrote.
The snap shows Jennifer walking with a big smile on her face as her nine bridesmaids — including her 19-year-old sister, Phoebe — stood behind her and held the long train of her dress and veil. They wore floor-length, green gowns with floral arrangements.
Also, she shared another photo with Iman her mother-in law, and a picture of Nayel taking part in what looked like a safari. This was hinting at their honeymoon.
Jennifer, who was Bill’s eldest daughter, and Melinda their business magnate, was escorted down the aisle by both her parents on her bid day.
After 27 years of marriage, the couple announced their divorce in May. They then finalized the separation in August. Melinda had reportedly been uncomfortable with her husband’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein, while Bill acknowledged that he’d had an extramarital affair with a Microsoft employee in the year 2000.
Two custom-made Vera Wang wedding gowns were worn by the heiress for her special day. Wang, known for creating wedding dresses for stars including Gwen Stefani and Issa Rae, shared two photos taken by wedding photographer Allan Zepeda and published by Vogue alongside a message wishing Jennifer and Nayel, 30, ‘a lifetime of happiness and joy.’
They do. Jennifer married Nayel Nassar on October 16th in North Salem. It was a two-day wedding worth $2 million. For the wedding, she wore custom Vera Wang gowns.

While it is not known where Jennifer and Nayel went, Jennifer shared a photo of Nayel (left) on what appears to have been a safari. Also, she posted a picture of a rainbow rising over a tropical Island (right).
Wang wrote: ‘Jennifer wore a custom light ivory long sleeve A-line gown with hand appliqué French macrame lace on the bodice, sleeves and flowing onto a diaphanous light ivory and champagne Italian tulle skirt. The gown was worn with a light ivory Italian tulle chapel length veil trimmed in hand appliqué French macrame lace.’
Mario Dedivanovic was Jennifer’s former makeup artist.
Jennifer first wore an ivory long-sleeved A-line gown with hand appliqué French macrame lace for the outdoor ceremony, before slipping into a lace trumpet gown with a square neckline for the evening reception.
One of her first pictures was shared shortly after the nuptials. It shows the moment Nayel and she walked up the aisle again on October 16th, moments after they were pronounced husband-wife.
Jennifer smiled, clutching a bouquet of elegant white flowers in her one hand and wrapping the other around Nayel’s waist.
Nayel, dressed in a smart suit, smiled as he applauded onlookers who walked along the flower-bedecked aisles. He wrapped his right hand around his new wife.
After the couple had exchanged their second vows, the photo was captured on Saturday. This followed an earlier, smaller Muslim ceremony that took place on Friday in North Salem.
Jennifer posted the photo of her wedding on Instagram Monday morning with the caption “My universe 10.16.21.”
Mario Dedivanovic, Kim Kardashian’s ex-makeup artist, also did the makeup for her.
Jennifer’s mom also posted a photo of the day.
“What a joy to commemorate the light and love shared by @jenniferkgates & @nayelnassar over this past weekend. We are so grateful that we were able find safe ways to gather on this special day,” she wrote. She captioned a picture of Jennifer and Nayel outdoors.
