Meghan Markle is one of the many celebrities who have flown across the globe to attend Paris Fashion Week, dressed to the nines to attend their favorite brands’ fashion shows. However, the brand that Markle associated herself with shocked many fans. Her attendance at the Balenciaga event turned some heads, especially after their ad scandal from a few years back.

Meghan Markle Attends Balenciaga Event
Between paparazzi photos and her own day-in-the-life-style video she posted on Instagram getting ready for the event, Meghan’s attendance at the Balenciaga event was well documented. She event had two different outfits: one all black, the other all white. The all-white look featured an oversized cape over a button down and matching trousers, while the all-black look also featured a cape, but a more dainty one that was draped over one shoulder.
As stunning as she may have looked, many fans were shocked to see her at the event after the scandal from a few years back. In 2022, Balenciaga released a highly controversial campaign that references child pornography and featured child models alongside fetish imagery. The brand was immediately canceled by fans, and many still hold that grudge.
Social Media Reactions
Across social media, fans expressed their disappointment with the mother-of-two. “Helping the poor but spending thousands on designer clothes very strange,” one person wrote on Instagram.
“Meghan Markle, the ‘humanitarian’ at the Balenciaga show,” another person pointed out. “You can’t make this up! What a hypocrite.”
“#BoycottBalenciaga…you know why,” wrote a third. “Have people forgotten?”
“I don’t usually make a big deal about her but I am surprised she chose to show up at the Balenciaga show after their scandal a few years back,” another said. “I don’t know if it was appropriate for a Duchess to attend that particular brand.”
“Trying to stay relevant!” another person wrote. “She’s really so shameless I almost want to applaud her.”
