Meghan Markle Says She Invited Herself to Balenciaga’s Paris Show to Support Pierpaolo Piccioli

Her first European outing since 2023 doubled as a quiet nod to Piccioli’s new chapter at Balenciaga.

Overview

  • In a new Harper’s Bazaar interview, she says she reached out to attend the Paris Fashion Week show and kept the trip under wraps.
  • Her spokesperson cited years of collaboration with Pierpaolo Piccioli, who described her front-row appearance as a rare and beautiful surprise.
  • Video of her reactions at the show drew wide attention, and a representative said she was not laughing at a model who stumbled.
  • The October event was her first visit to Europe since the 2023 Invictus Games in Germany.
  • Reports frame the trip alongside Prince Harry’s UK security dispute earlier this year, after which he said he could not see bringing his family back to Britain.
