Global Editorial Director of Vogue and fashion icon Anna Wintour showered Meghan Markle with compliments as she attended the Balenciaga fashion show for Paris Fashion Week. The Duchess of Sussex, 44, was all smiles as she was seen greeting the fashion legend.
A video on X shows Meghan dressed in a chic all-white ensemble, greeting Ms Wintour and asking her, “How are you?”, to which she replies, “Nice to see you”, before the pair give each other a kiss on the cheek. Anna looks at Meghan’s outfit before saying: “Beautiful, cherie. You look amazing.”
Meghan was snapped wearing a stylish white oversized cape over a white button-down shirt with matching trousers. She paired the look with black pointed-toe heels and black accessories. She also wore her hair in her signature slicked-back bun.
It has appeared Meghan has attended the show without her husband, Prince Harry. Meghan was previously a regular at New York and Toronto Fashion Weeks whilst working as an actress on US drama series Suits.
Commenting on Meghan’s outfit this evening, a spokesperson for Meghan Markle told Hello! Magazine: “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.”
He added: “This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”
Pierpaolo Piccioli is an Italian fashion designer who was named creative director of Balenciaga in May 2025.
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.
In April 2022, Meghan opened the Invictus Games wearing a white Valentino suit, with matching Aquazzura shoes and matching Valentino bag, which had a gold chain designed to match her signature jewellery.
In February 2019 she wore a red Valentino dress when she arrived with Harry for a three-day tour of Morocco.
The Italian designer, however, left Valentino last year after 25 years.
