According to TMZ, this marked her first-ever appearance at Paris Fashion Week. While some fans online gushed over her “radiant and elegant” appearance, others were far less kind.
One critic mocked her outfit as “bedsheets,” while another joked, “If you can’t fold your sheets, just wear them.” A few, however, defended her, insisting that “even bedsheets can look stylish—it all depends on the person.”
The Next Day: From White to Black
Meghan was spotted again on October 5, attending another Paris Fashion Week event—this time dressed in a long, sleeveless black gown with an asymmetrical neckline and matching cape. The look was completed with gold jewelry and black court shoes.
“The Duchess of Sussex traded in her dramatic white ensemble for a sleek black gown with an asymmetrical neckline,” Elle reported, noting how both outfits were unified by their capes.

A Longstanding Connection with the Fashion World
A spokesperson for Meghan confirmed that she attended to support Piccioli’s new chapter with Balenciaga. “Over the years, the Duchess has worn many of Pierpaolo’s designs and collaborated with him on key moments on the world stage,” the representative told People. “She has long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance.”
While this was her first appearance at Paris Fashion Week, Meghan is no stranger to the fashion scene. Before marrying Prince Harry, she was a regular guest at the New York and Toronto editions between 2013 and 2015—long before her every outfit became a global headline.
