Meghan Markle makes Paris Fashion Week debut at Balenciaga show

Meghan Markle made her Paris Fashion Week debut in all-white on Saturday.

In photos obtained by Page Six, the fashionable “With Love, Meghan” star arrived for the Balenciaga show in a white, long-sleeved button down tunic with a flowing cape and matching slacks.

She paired the stylish, minimalist ensemble with black pointy-toed heels and a simple black clutch purse and accessorized with diamond stud earrings.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, styled her hair in a sleek updo and rocked a dewey, neutral makeup glam for the solo outing.

A spokesperson for the mom of two told People on Saturday that the “As Ever” founder’s appearance was to support pal Pierpaolo Piccioli, who became Creative Director for the House in July.

“Over the years, the Duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo,” a spokesperson told the outlet on Saturday. ” They have worked closely together, collaborating on design for key moments on the world stage.”

They added that Markle has “long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance, and tonight was no different. This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”

Though Markle — who tied the knot with Prince Harry in 2018 — previously attended Toronto Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week during her years on “Suits,” Saturday’s outing marked her very first time at the world’s premiere fashion event.

She made her front-row debut at Hervé Léger’s spring 2014 show. 

Last year, the outspoken feminist and fashion lover shared what she considers when supporting a designer.

“Times where I know there is a global spotlight, and attention will be given to each detail of what I may or may not be wearing, then I support designers that I have really great friendships with, and smaller, up-and-coming brands that haven’t gotten the attention that they should be getting,” she told the New York Times in August 2024.

“That’s one of the most powerful things that I’m able to do, and that’s simply wearing, like, an earring.”
