Creative director of Balenciaga, Pierpaolo Piccioli, has explained how Meghan Markle‘s Paris Fashion Week appearance came about.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, made her Paris Fashion Week debut earlier this month (October 4), attending the highly anticipated Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2026 show.

Meghan said that she had attended the show in support of Pierpaolo, the Italian fashion designer who was named creative director of Balenciaga in May 2025.
The Duchess of Sussex was snapped wearing crisp white wide leg trousers, paired with a matching blouse. Stealing the show was a dramatic white oversized cape trailing behind her. She contrasted the look with black pointed-toe heels and a black clutch bag.
Later on in the night, the duchess changed into a sleek black dress with an asymmetrical neckline for a Balenciaga after-party.
In fashion, real surprises are rare, and this one was beautiful.
