Out again: Victoria Beckham has stepped out in NYC once again in the midst of her husband David's email leak woes
Victoria arrived in New York on Saturday, as the shocking scandal erupted, when it was alleged David was the victim of £1million blackmail plot over hacked emails.
While the couple's camp have commented on the stories, the former Spice Girl has remained stoic during her various outings in NYC, where she is taking a working trip to focus on her fashion brand.
The star has been seen in bold colours since she touched down, yet Tuesday's outing saw her go for a basic ensemble, with the only bright addition being her staggering white heels and saddle bag.
Masking her slender figure, she wrapped up in a soft burgundy jumper with volumunious grey trousers which hung off her frame.

Upgrade your accessories with a bag by Victoria Beckham
It may only be the beginning of February but we're already looking forward to when spring arrives.
Not only will it mean warmer weather and blue skies (we hope) but it means we can rock a new wardrobe too. We'll be ditching our cozy knits and practical outerwear as soon as we get a chance.
And that goes for our accessories too. Say goodbye to boring black bags and hello to a world of new season brights and stand out shades. This saddle bag, as seen being held ever so stylishly by Victoria Beckham, is just the thing.
From her current collection we love its half moon shape, minimal gold fastening and of course that wonderful shade of white. So why not get ahead of the game and click (right) to buy it now at Net-a-Porter?
Or get the look with our edit of white shoulder bags below.

Not for me? The scandal has shaped around David not receiving a knighthood
While she is famous for her steely pout, Victoria has naturally remained straight-faced and stony since the scandal has surfaced.
David made his first public appearance since the scandal on Monday, when he appeared in casual sports garb while heading out for a juice yet kept a low profile.
While mum and dad have been flitting around the big cities, their eldest son Brooklyn, 17, took an edgy snap posted to Instagram on Tuesday, as he posed in front of street art while wearing mismatched trainers.
Victoria's appearance comes days after she was being rushed through London's Heathrow airport on Saturday following reports that David was a victim of a £1million blackmail plot over hacked emails.
It comes as MPs hit out against a potential 'bend it for Beckham' rule for the rich and famous amid claims the former footballer was advised on how to fit the Knighthood criteria.

The politicians said today that celebrities should be treated no differently to ordinary members of the public when it comes to taxes and the honours systems.
The comments come amid reports that Beckham was on the verge of becoming Sir David in 2014 until a last-minute 'red flag' intervention from HMRC due to his involvement in an alleged tax avoidance scheme.
Insiders confirmed there was effectively then horse-trading between a Whitehall committee and the superstar's advisers to 'sort out' the issues raised by HMRC.
Rosena Allin-Khan, Labour’s shadow culture minister, said it was 'incredibly wrong' while Lib Dem MP John Pugh, a member of the influential Public Accounts Committee, said the same rules should apply for everyone.

Beckham and his PR machine have been left reeling after Friday's release of 18.6million emails and documents hacked by the Football Leaks website from the servers of Doyen Global, the firm run by the ex-footballer's PR chief Simon Oliveira.
According to the revelations, the Honours Committee had already agreed that Beckham's nomination – almost certainly proposed by his PR advisers – was well 'merited' before a routine check of his tax affairs.
The leaked emails also include a number of bombshells and series of sweary-rants and may even have been used as part of a £1million blackmail plot.

In one message the ex-England captain allegedly claims singer Katherine Jenkins, 36, got an OBE for ‘singing at the rugby and going to see the troops plus taking coke. F*****g joke’.
She was given an OBE in the 2014 New Year Honours for her services to music and charity.
Her manager, Professor Jonathan Shalit, told Dan Wootton at The Sun that she deserved her award for her charity work and music career.

A spokesman for Beckham said: 'This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture.'
He allegedly wrote the private message after he missed out on a knighthood, while other emails are said to show him call the honours committee 'unappreciative c****.
But it now seems the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder could have been a victim of a targeted blackmail plot.

The emails were passed to the Football Leaks website after the firm run by his advisers refused to pay the hackers, reports Tom Bryant at the Daily Mirror.
A source told the newspaper that Beckham - who earned 115 caps playing for England - was simply 'caught in the crossfire'.
The messages were reportedly accessed after criminals - thought to be using Russian servers - hacked documents from the sports agency run by Mr Oliveria.
They demanded one million euros - almost £900,000 - or they would pass on the material they had acquired, according to the Mirror.
