Overview

• Meghan Markle made an unannounced visit to Balenciaga’s womenswear S/S 2026 show in Paris, wearing a custom white look with black accessories before changing into a bespoke black outfit for the afterparty.
• A Vogue clip of her leaving the show spread widely on social platforms and inspired recreations on TikTok and Instagram, including a wrinkled bedsheet stand‑in for her cape.
• Social media responses ranged from mockery of her walk and cape to defenses of her styling and posing for the cameras.
• Separate coverage highlighted criticism of an Instagram video filmed as her car passed near the Pont de l’Alma, with commentators calling the post insensitive; she has not publicly responded.
• Another circulating clip was framed by critics as showing her laughing after a model allegedly stumbled, a link that Meghan or a spokesperson denied according to Daily Mail reporting.
