Meghan made a surprise appearance at the Parisian fashion event this past weekend to support a close designer companion.

She attended the Balenciaga show after taking a journey alone over the ocean.

She has worn a number of designs by the fashion house's fresh creative head Piccioli and the attendance signaled "her support for his new creative chapter," a representative for the duchess stated.

It was her first time at the fashion spectacle for more than a decade.

"Over the years, the royal figure has sported various outfits by Pierpaolo," the representative said.

"They have worked closely together collaborating on design for important events on the global platform."

"She has long admired his craftsmanship and contemporary grace, and tonight was no different."

"Tonight represents the culmination of many years of artistry and companionship, reflected in her endorsement for his latest creative endeavor at Balenciaga."

The duchess, who announced her arrival in the French capital with an social media post, chose a light-colored ensemble of wide-leg trousers and a blazer from the line for the event on Saturday.

The duchess is most recently noted to have visited the United Kingdom in September 2022 to participate in a charity event and was in the country when the late Queen died. She and Prince Harry then stayed on for the memorial service.

Prince Harry saw his parent, the monarch recently amid speculation about a reconciliation.

Harry has traveled multiple times to the UK in recent years for a range of activities including for fundraising occasions and to attend court cases.

This week, the Duke of Sussex joined remotely for a court session in a lawsuit against the publishing group.
