Heiress the bride-to-be! Nicky Hilton takes to streets for casual stroll in figure-hugging striped dress ahead of her London summer wedding

But Nicky Hilton was trashing any bridezilla stereotypes on Friday, as she took to the streets of New York City for a relaxed break from planning her nuptials.

The 31-year-old business woman, fashion designer and heiress to the Hilton estate, was off-duty for the day as she looked relaxed while heading into the Big Apple.

Rock Valentino's Rockstud espadrilles like Nicky

She may have been strolling in New York ahead of her London wedding to James Rothschild, but Nicky’s outfit is most definitely French Riviera chic. The striped midi dress teamed with espadrilles and this chain detail cross-body bag channels Coco Chanel’s 1920s aesthetic.

Quite frankly, we want Nicky’s entire outfit! But if we had to pick one piece it would definitely be her embellished leather espadrilles.

Espadrilles are a summer classic, but the studded ankle straps of this Valentino pair give them a fashion edge. Head over to Bergdorf Goodman (click right) to get your hands on them now.

For the low-key outing Nicky dressed in a ribbed long-line monochrome dress, with intermittent lines of mint green and yellow for a flourish of colour.

She wore her hair down to accommodate a stylish black hat and hid her eyes from passers by with a pair of circle framed sunglasses that matched her rounded shoulder bag.

The fashion designer, who is due to marry fiance James Rothschild on July 10, looked to be wearing light make-up for the day, showing off her blemish free sun-kissed complexion.

After meeting her hubby-to-be at Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt's wedding in Italy four years ago, Nicky said she was 'incredibly happy' after he proposed at Lake Como in August.

And the business woman celebrated her bachelorette party with sister Paris last Saturday, where they were joined by a host of family.

Attendees included their cousins, Brooke Brinson and Whitney Davis, who share a mother in Kim Richards, and brunette stunner Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie who's the daughter of Kyle Richards.

But it hasn't all been smooth sailing for the future Mrs Rothschild as she revealed in August that organising the wedding been made harder by her hectic schedule and that she still hadn't made 'one decision so far'.

While on a book tour for her style guide, 365 Style, Nicky said: 'I haven't planned a thing for my wedding, I've been too busy.' 

'I just got back from New York and as soon as I landed in LA my mom was there with all this wedding planning material.'
