There’s never a shortage of famous faces at Paris Fashion Week—Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, Kate Moss and Zendaya, to name just a few. But an appearance from Meghan Markle still came as something of a surprise. Despite her long-standing interest in fashion, it’s rumoured the Duchess of Sussex has never actually sat front row at a Paris show—until last night.
Taking her seat at Balenciaga for Pierpaolo Piccioli’s debut collection—a designer Markle has collaborated with many times before—the Duchess watched models walk down the runway in all-black outfits, sculptural dresses and the brand’s now-signature oversized sunglasses. Yet it was Markle’s own outfit that stole the spotlight: a custom Piccioli creation that was as effortlessly elegant as it was easy to emulate.
