Meghan Markle made a splash in a bold all-white ensemble as she attended the Balenciaga runway show at Paris Fashion Week Oct. 4, her first-ever appearance at the event.
Meghan Markle is proving capes aren’t just for superheroes.
The Duchess of Sussex arrived in style at Paris Fashion Week 2025, donning a dramatic floor-length cape as she made her debut appearance for the Balenciaga runway show Oct. 4.
The breezy accessory was part of an all-white ensemble, which also included a button-down shirt and matching slacks. The 44-year-old completed the number with a black clutch and black heels while opting for a minimalist makeup look and wearing her hair in a slicked-back bun.
While Meghan has attended numerous New York Fashion Week and Toronto Fashion Week shows over the years, she attended her first Paris Fashion Week event in support of Balenciaga’s new creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, having “long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance.”
“Over the years, the Duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo,” Meghan’s spokesperson told People. “This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”
Later, Meghan—who is mom to Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, with husband Prince Harry—turned heads as she stepped out in a second outfit. This time, the With Love, Meghan star ditched the sleeves for a black ankle-length dress with an asymmetrical neckline while making her exit from the city’s Hôtel Plaza Athénée.
Of course, Meghan’s interest in the fashion world is nothing new. Last year, she offered insight into how her life as a royal has affected her approach to her wardrobe.
“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,” she told The New York Times in August 2024, “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.”
“That’s one of the most powerful things that I’m able to do,” Meghan added, “and that’s simply wearing an earring.”
