The biggest surprise, though? Meghan Markle\u2019s first ever PFW appearance.<\/p>\n<p>The Duchess of Sussex seems to have made the trip from Montecito to the City of Light for the special occasion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/pierpaolo-piccioli-goes-back-to-the-source-for-his-new-balenciaga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pierpaolo Piccioli<\/a>\u2019s first runway show as creative director at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/live\/balenciaga-spring-2026-rtw-live\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Balenciaga<\/a>. Photographed exiting her hotel on her way to this evening\u2019s show, Markle cut an elegant figure in a white cape and a white silky button-down underneath, a full Balenciaga look. She accessorized simply with black pointed pumps, and wore her hair in a sleek, slicked-back bun.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the first time the Duchess has ever appeared at Paris Fashion Week\u2014but while she\u2019s never turned out for the London or Milan legs of fashion month, she does have a history with New York Fashion Week.<\/p>\n<p>Markle\u2019s front row debut was at the Herv\u00e9 L\u00e9ger for the brand\u2019s spring 2014 show. (An era where Markle truly loved a jewel-toned wrap dress.) During her time acting on Suits, she was a frequent NYFW attendee at shows including Tory Burch, Peter Som, Wes Gordon, and Misha Nonoo, among others. Since marrying Prince Harry and her dalliance with royal engagements in 2020, she has taken a step back from the fashion circuit in favor of more philanthropic appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, Meghan joined the likes of Anne Hathaway and Lauren S\u00e1nchez Bezos\u2014 all there to see Piccioli\u2019s spring 2026 collection.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s already been quite the week for her, with the royal expanding her lifestyle brand, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/is-meghan-markles-as-ever-rose-good\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As Ever<\/a>, with a new Sauvignon Blanc.
