Meghan Markle‘s backless Balenciaga dress turned heads at the brand’s show on Saturday. Markle made a two-stop turn at Paris Fashion Week, drawing attention for more than her clothes. After arriving at Balenciaga’s womenswear show in an all‑white look with a cape, she turned up to an after‑party in a black, backless gown. According to a body language expert, her demeanor shifted with the black dress.
Expert claims Meghan Markle’s body language was flirtatious during her second Balenciaga appearance
Photos from Balenciaga’s event at Paris Fashion Week show Meghan Markle donning a sleek, backless dress with a half-cape. Her hair was pulled into a low bun, and she matched the look with black heels, diamond studs, and slim gold bracelets. The styling put the focus on the dress’s cutaway back and sharp lines.
According to The Mirror’s exclusive report, Judi James, a body language expert, said that the Duchess of Sussex’s second look signaled a new tone. James stated, “Meghan’s body language here makes a mood switch-up from the ‘Runway Royal’ look of the white outfit to something more movie queen Holly Golightly with this black one.”
The expert added, “It’s clearly the backless feature of this dress that supplies the camera-seeking drama so she is less posed and more back to a controlling, confident mode from the front,” before, “with perfect timing as she closes in on her car, she suddenly turns her head to glance round at the cameras in an A-list flirty pose.”
Besides, a spokesperson told PEOPLE that Meghan Markle’s appearance marked a personal connection. They said that she was at the show in support of Pierpaolo Piccioli, who recently assumed the role of creative director for the house. They explained, “She has long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance.”
Inside the show, Markle greeted Piccioli and crossed paths with Anna Wintour, who said, “Nice to see you.” Per reports, Wintour added, “Beautiful, Cherie. You look amazing.”
While the expert read a flirtier hint in Meghan Markle’s backless Balenciaga dress, her team also suggested the trip was to support a longtime collaborator. Overall, she made a calculated use of fashion with a look that got everyone talking.
