Fashion powerhouse Anna Wintour offered a brief three-word assessment of Meghan Markle’s controversial all-white ensemble during her headline-grabbing appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
The Duchess of Sussex jetted to the French capital to attend Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer 2026 womenswear presentation, sporting the luxury label from head to toe.
The outing represented Meghan’s first mainland European venture in two years, with Prince Harry noticeably absent from the proceedings.
During the event, Meghan encountered Anna, the legendary former Vogue editor-in-chief, who beamed while greeting the Duchess with warmth and exchanging customary cheek kisses.
Footage posted on X captures Meghan in her sophisticated monochrome look, approaching Ms Wintour and inquiring: “How are you?”, prompting the response: “Nice to see you.”
However, despite Wintour’s glowing endorsement, critics proved far less enthusiastic about her single-color styling choice.
After witnessing her debut look of the night, certain observers seemed underwhelmed by her fashion selection. Numerous individuals flock to social media platforms to voice their thoughts regarding her wardrobe decision.
One fan humorously remarked, “My bed sheets after a restless night,” while another quipped, “Ugh! It’s giving Bed Bath and Beyoncé.”
Meghan later swapped her runway attire for a stunning black dress with an asymmetrical neckline at the Balenciaga afterparty.
Many were curious about Meghan’s presence at this specific show during the event. This seems to be due to her friendship with fashion designer Pierpaolo Piccioli—the new creative director of Balenciaga—whom she has worn designs from during his tenure at Valentino.
A representative for the duchess explained: “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, attended the Balenciaga show in Paris on Saturday night in support of Pierpaolo Piccioli, who recently assumed the role of creative director for the house.
“This marks her first time back to the shows in over a decade. Over the years, the duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo. They have worked closely together, collaborating on design for key moments on the world stage. 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.”
