Meghan Markle Balenciaga: From 'bed sheets' to 'classy' - fans divided on outfit as Duchess of Sussex makes surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week
Fans are divided on Meghan Markle’s outfit after the Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
Meghan Markle surprised fans as she stepped out at Paris Fashion Week on Saturday (October 4). In her first ever appearance at the event, the 44-year-old attended a Balenciaga show, reportedly in support of Pierpaolo Piccioli, who recently assumed the role of Creative Director for the House.
Meghan attended the event a white oversized cape over a button-down shirt of the same colour. This was paired with matching white trousers and black pointed-toe heels, as she kept her hair in a slicked-back bun.
Her outfit left her fans divided. One person wrote on X: "She forgot to leave the bedsheets at home," while another added: "Straight from the linen closet."
A third chimed in: "My bed sheets after a restless night," while a fourth said: "Ugh! it’s giving Bed bath and Beyoncé." Despite this, many other fans loved her ensemble, as one called it "magnificent," while another added: "Meghan is so effortlessly classy, she looks fab!"
A third added: "I love her outfit," while a fourth agreed: "This outfit is going straight to my WhatsApp mood board." The Balenciaga outfit is a look from Pierpaolo Piccioli’s debut collection as Creative Director there.
A spokesperson for Meghan told PEOPLE she attended the Balenciaga show in support of Pierpaolo Piccioli, saying: "Over the years, the Duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo. They have worked closely together. She has long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance, and tonight was no different. This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga."
