Meghan Markle turned heads at Paris Fashion Week as she attended Balenciaga’s event honoring Italian designer Pierpaolo Piccioli, the brand’s newly appointed creative director.
Cameras eagerly followed the Duchess of Sussex’s every move, with royal watchers once again weighing in on her fashion choices and social interactions.
A Misstep with Pierpaolo Piccioli
One of the evening’s most talked-about moments came when Meghan greeted Piccioli. Attempting the signature fashion-world cheek kiss, she misjudged the angle and accidentally bumped her nose into his glasses.
Ever the professional, Piccioli laughed off the incident, taking her hand and posing for photos with ease. The resulting images showed both smiling and poised, as though nothing had gone wrong.
Later, Meghan smoothly redeemed herself, exchanging proper cheek kisses with Vogue’s Anna Wintour and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann. Prince Harry, however, was noticeably absent from the glamorous gathering.

Meghan’s All-White Look
The Duchess arrived in a flowing white cape layered over a loose-fitting pantsuit, paired with pointed black heels. Her sleek bun and minimalist jewelry gave her an understated yet powerful elegance—what fashion writers called “office siren: here to slay, but not on the clock.”
