The Duchess of Sussex<\/a> returned to Europe for the first time since 2023 to take her seat at the Balenciaga\u00a0<\/a>show at Paris Fashion Week. Meghan, who had previously teased her arrival in the French capital with an Instagram story overlaid with the French track “Viens on essaie” by Vitaa and Julien Dor\u00e9, was there “in support Pierpaolo Piccioli, who recently assumed the role of Creative Director for the House”, a spokesman for Meghan tells\u00a0HELLO!<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “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,” said the spokesman. \u00a0“This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”\u00a0<\/p>\n Those designs include a dramatic red caped gown worn on an official visit to Morocco, while she opted for a white double-breasted, oversized suit by the designer for an outing at the Invictus Games<\/a> in 2022, and in 2018, attended the British Fashion Awards, where he was awarded Designer of the Year.<\/p>\n For her one night in Paris, Meghan stayed at the $3,000 a night H\u00f4tel Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e<\/strong> and there were crowds of photographers outside waiting for her to emerge. She made her way to the show in a sleek car with blacked-out windows, and inside the show, there were gasps from the crowds as she arrived with security. She later changed outfits into a gorgeous black dress with an asymmetrical neckline for a Balenciaga after-party.<\/p>\n Meghan attends PFW 2025<\/p>\n Meghan wore a stunning outfit from the new collection.
