The Duchess of Sussex appeared at Paris Fashion Week to support a fashion designer friend on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Meghan attended the Balenciaga show after making the solo trip across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n
She has worn a number of designs by the fashion house’s new creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli and the visit reflected “her support for his new creative chapter”, a spokesman for the duchess said.<\/p>\n
It was her first time at the fashion spectacle for more than a decade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The spokesman said: “Over the years, the duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo.<\/p>\n
“They have worked closely together collaborating on design for key moments on the world stage.<\/p>\n
“She has long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance, and tonight was no different.<\/p>\n
“This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”<\/p>\n
Meghan, who announced her arrival in Paris with an Instagram story, wore a white outfit of wide-leg trousers and a blazer from the collection for the show on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The duchess is last known to have visited the UK in September 2022 to attend a charity event and was in the country when Queen Elizabeth II died. She and Prince Harry then stayed on for the funeral.<\/p>\n
