Meghan Markle Hints at Return to Paris Fashion Week Amid Past Awkward Encounters
The Duchess of Sussex may attend the upcoming Balenciaga show, recalling a previous visit marked by a notable interaction with the brand's designer.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has suggested she might attend Paris Fashion Week, potentially returning to the Balenciaga 2025 show. Her previous appearance at the event last year was noted for a somewhat awkward interaction with Vogue editor-in-chief Dame Anna Wintour and a brief chat with filmmaker Baz Luhrmann.
During last year's Balenciaga show, Meghan engaged with the brand's creative director, Demna Gvasalia, in an interaction described by some observers as an "awkward air kiss." The moment, captured as cameras flashed, involved a near-collision of noses between Meghan and Gvasalia, potentially exacerbated by his dark sunglasses. The Duchess, however, has frequently worn Gvasalia's designs, making her presence at the show a notable event.
Despite the described awkwardness, the Duchess has reportedly hinted at a return, indicating a continued interest in the fashion world's premier events. Her appearances at such high-profile gatherings often draw significant media attention.
