Nicky Hilton has shared the first picture of her newborn daughter on Instagram.

The American socialite and her husband James Rothschild welcomed their second child, daughter Theodora 'Teddy' Marilyn Rothschild, in New York City on 20 December, and she has finally given fans a glimpse of the tot.

Nicky shared a picture of her cradling her baby, whose face is hidden, on Instagram with the caption, "Kisses + cuddles before out the door to catch the @oscardelarenta show," followed by baby and lips emojis.

In the snap, Nicky is wearing a smart outfit in preparation for her appearance at the Oscar de la Renta New York Fashion Week show. She teamed a black pencil skirt with a white and black striped long-sleeved top and pointed heels for the fashion presentation, and wore her hair pulled back into a tight bun.

Nicky, 34, announced the arrival of their child on 22 December by writing on social media, "Christmas came early! On December 20th James and I welcomed a baby girl, Teddy Rothschild into the world. Feeling very blessed this holiday season."

Teddy's middle name is reportedly a nod to Nicky's paternal grandmother, Marilyn June Hawley.

Nicky, the younger sister of Paris Hilton, and James married in 2015 and are also parents to Lily-Grace, who was born in July 2016.

She also avoided sharing Lily's face for some time, only showing off the 19-month-old earlier this month while presenting her nursery during a tour of her New York penthouse for Architectural Digest magazine.

"I had so much fun doing this room," she said, showing off the room's decor, Lily's cot and toys, including a stuffed giraffe and elephant rocking horse. "You just get to relive your childhood again with all the things you loved: kitties and bunnies and princesses."
