The Duchess of Sussex appeared at Paris Fashion Week to support a fashion designer friend on Saturday.
Meghan attended the Balenciaga show after making the solo trip across the Atlantic.
She has worn a number of designs by the fashion house’s new creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli and the visit reflected “her support for his new creative chapter”, a spokesman for the duchess said.
It was her first time at the fashion spectacle for more than a decade.
The spokesman said: “Over the years, the duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo.
“They have worked closely together collaborating on design for key moments on the world stage.
“She has long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance, and tonight was no different.
“This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”
Meghan, who announced her arrival in Paris with an Instagram story, wore a white outfit of wide-leg trousers and a blazer from the collection for the show on Saturday.
The duchess is last known to have visited the UK in September 2022 to attend a charity event and was in the country when Queen Elizabeth II died. She and Prince Harry then stayed on for the funeral.
Her husband met his father the King last month amid speculation about a reconciliation.
He has made several trips to the UK in recent years for a variety of engagements including for charity events and to attend court cases.
This week Prince Harry appeared to dial in for a High Court hearing in a case against the Daily Mail’s publisher.
