Meghan Markle is making the most of her time at Paris Fashion Week.

After the Duchess of Sussex, 44, attended a Balenciaga show at the annual fashion event on Saturday, Oct. 4, wearing an all-white ensemble, she swapped the attire for a darker, edgier look during a follow-up show on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Attending the Balenciaga Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show, Meghan wore a black dress, which she paired with black heels.

During her earlier Paris Fashion Week appearance — which marked her first time ever attending the event in France — the mother of two wore a white, oversized cape over a button-down shirt of the same color.
