Her dark brown hair, which featured a thick fringe, fell free over an intricately patterned beige and grey turtlenecked jumper.

She'd accessorised that day with a large black handbag slung over her right shoulder, and she carried along a lidded cardboard cup.

The previous day, she'd been seen out and about by herself, having tucked her fringe completely beneath a grey knit cap.
Her solid beige turtleneck fell past her waist, and she wore a similar pair of jeans to those she wore on Thursday, folding up their hems as well.
This time, her purse was slung over her shoulder, and as she went on her way, the Southfield native chatted away on her mobile.

Arthur is the result of Blair's relationship with 46-year-old fashion designer Jason Bleick, whom she dated from 2010 until 2012.
Before that, the Requiem actress had spent another two years married to musician Frank Zappa's son Ahmet Zappa.
As People reported at the time, the pair held their 2004 wedding at the now late Carrie Fisher's house in Coldwater Canyon.

During a 2015 interview with The Glow, Blair defended her closeness to her son, saying: 'As a mom, there’s almost a shame in feeling too attached, like there’s something shameful in saying: "My kid is my life these days."'
She countered that 'There’s a time and a place, especially when they’re this young. Let yourself enjoy it. I wish people talked about the love more.'
Recalled she: 'When I was pregnant, I had no idea how attached I’d be and that I’d want to be in every part of Arthur’s waking and sleeping life. Before he was born, I hired a crazy expensive night nurse who was recommended by friends of mine.'

However, 'as the day grew closer, I started to think: "I don’t want her in my house." I cancelled her the day I went in to hospital going into labour.'
She's conceded that 'I did hire a doula the first night home, since I really needed to recover because my birth was so hard, but when I would hear her trying to soothe him, I said: "No no, not for me."'
As she explained: 'I couldn’t sleep anyhow. No one really stays up with a baby the way a mom does. Dads will try, but for the most part I say moms are the ones to really do it.'
Counterpoint: She said that 'There’s a time and a place, especially when they’re this young,' exhorting mothers to 'Let yourself enjoy it,' and adding: 'I wish people talked about the love more'
